We sort of discovered halfway through the appointment process that this was a training facility. I said "what the heck, I don't have to look at my hair" so we continued setting an appointment for the next day. We arrived early and were greeted and accommodated very well. My haircut looks just fin...
I came here with a coupon for a free color treatment and opted to get a haircut as well. The receptionist did an amazing job squeezing me in with late-notice, but had to schedule me with two separate stylists. I didn't request a certain student so had alphas (newest students) for both. The stylist w...
Its a school so they take their time but if you just consider that as pampering its very nice. Nice prices and I'm always pleased with the final results.
Awful. was absolutely the worst experience of any hair salon I have ever been to. From beginning to end. They booked it at the wrong time then switch hairstylists then the hairstylist assigned to me didn't want to do the service after washing my hair and leaving me dripping wet after taking entire ...
Great experience for a great price Olvia did exactly what was on my mind the products that they have are awsome. I called and got an appointment onthe same day, i am so glad happy !!!
I went based on the experience of my coworker, who had a perfectly fine time. But my experience was absolutely horrible: the consultation was perfunctory, and no matter how many times I reinforced that I didn't want my hair shorter than an inch, I was met with "it's cool, be alright" dismissive lang...
I graduated from Cinta aveda institute last year and had a great experience when it came to the state board exam i passed on my first try thanks to the multiple mock exams they set up for you! I highly recommend this school your just not learning hair your learning the science and safety of beauty...
When I walked in the ladies at the front were very quick and friendly and once they checked me in they lead me to Salma. She started off with a massage (so relaxing!) then to shampoo and conditioner and as super nice and friendly. When I told her what I wanted (just two inches off and long layers fo...
I made a appointment 10 ish coming from Benicia so traffic to the city parking is not available so I had to park far by the time I made it into the school I arrived few minutes behind they wasn't able to see me. I was so sad . I don't think I will come back. Poor service.
The students are super friendly and pay attention to detail. My barber spent over an hour on my haircut. Bring cash if you want to tip
Barber services have been top notch and a great value. Plan to keep coming back!
Cinta Aveda Institute is the BEST!! I've been going to her for as long as I can remember.. I have been a customer for about 16 years now and she never disappoints! She really puts her love and artistic ability for hairstyles and that's what I love about her! This hair salon makes you feel like you'r...
Loved my experience at the Cinta Aveda Institute. The best beauty school in the bay in my opinion.
YOU RISK YOUR HAIR!!! Be careful its students that most of them are just starting. They did highlights and half is good half is just blonde /: very disappointed and sad
Got an uneven and unflattering haircut. This bad haircut keeps growing out worse. I will keep postiing unstil it grows enough sto reshape it.
.
Great multi service salon with work performed by students and overseen by teachers. They offer 3 floors: 1st & 3rd floors have hair services & the 2nd floor is for their spa (facials, waxing, & makeup) services. I've been coming here for years and have a pretty great experience here most of the time...
Tried calling at 6:55pm on a Monday and received an automatic voice message telling me they their business hours, and to call back then. In the voice message, they said they close at 8pm on the weekdays... something's not right. :/
I was one of the last evening appointments and never had my hair checked at any point during my cut. The stylist also did a terrible job and filled out the survey herself. I asked at the checkout desk if they wanted my input or review and they didn t really seem to care either.
They cancelled my appointment 20 minutes beforehand (despite the fact that I called to confirm 1 hour prior). Wasted my time and bus fare.
Had a amazing experience love the teaching and learning environment they provide for the students.
I went here for a massage and I loved it!!! My masseuse was excellent, friendly, and professional.
Went in for a body wave on my very long hair two weeks ago and LOVE the results! Joel was very attentive as he guided Nancy through the process and matched the services exactly to my hair type and desired results. He chose the perfect size rollers and helped Nancy time it so that I now have the ge...
Absolutely thrilled with my experience at Cinta Aveda. Ask for Alejandra - super attentive, thoughtful, and respectful person and a talented hairdresser.
This is the worst salon I have been to in my life. Horrible haircut.and hair color. Will never go back or recommend.
Great overall experience!!! Shout out to my Barber who gave me a great cut.
Haircut that normally takes 30 minutes took 180 minutes! Haircut still wasn t completely done but I just wanted to get out of there ASAP
Hairdresser was 30 minutes late and her level of skill was too low for handling real clients. The school should re-evaluate how fast it put students in front of r...
This school is amazing, always a great service and helpful and friendly students and teaches!!!! The quality of services is outstanding!!!
Terrible service. Canceled on me twice at the last minute. The manager was extremely rude and just didn't seem to care. Very disappointed!
I got an amazing haircut and styling with Jennifer S! She was by far the most knowledgeable student I've had and was very attentive. Cinta Aveda is an affordable place to get a haircut and more. The staff is upbeat and welcoming every time.
Awful. The worst hair style i have got in 30yr so that evertime i see myself in the mirror i get so upset and stressed. It took time completely twice longer than it should be. The haircut completely came out different from what i asked. Super shorter than what i asked.my wife and i were gonna take ...
I had a facial here done back in May and it was the best experience. Ive never actually had any services done here and also never had a facial done but despite all that the student made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. The instructor that came over for the consultation was super professional and ...
It's a school with students and teachers signing off each stage of the haircut. Aveda products are the best. Fragrant shampoo and conditioner, selection for whatever you want, de-tangle, shine, frizzy, straightener. Just make you have 2 hours to kill. Wash, cut, and style.
Great Barber services! The only place I trust for my haircuts!
Best hair desinger!! Ssonie!! He made me feel special when i go up on the club stage for my gig!
Always high-quality services with eager students and expert instructors.
Amazing experience! Thank you to all the friendly staff who made this visit a breeze. Awesome services at a reasonable price. Definitely would recommend! Thanks again!!
Friendly, Energetic and Comfortable! Highly Recommend!
I had walked in yesterday and I had a groupon coupon for a haircut. I was told that there is no barber available and there were only students. I had a preference for barbers so the lady at the counter told me that I can book an appointment for the next day. I asked for a confirmation but she told me...
Very reasonable price haircut. You get the Cinta salon experience (which I just experienced for the first time ever recently)! for a fraction of the cost! You go in and they take you upstairs where they offer you a beverage than you a student comes and consults with you what you want. They have in...
This is hands-down one of the best places in San Francisco can get facials, massages or haircuts. I totally love the services and the stuff not to mention the price which makes you feel like you are badass cowboy robbing a bank rather than regular person getting facial or massage.
Keep in mind th...
I attended the institute in 2017. I feel it was a great springboard into a fulfilling career in the beauty industry. They really set you up for success!!
Had a great hair cut here. The shampoo, cut, and style took just under an hour. I went on a Saturday and given other Yelpers parking warnings, I parked about a 10-15 minute walk away (at Howard & Hawthorne) and paid the $2/hr meter for a couple hours. I didn't even waste time trying to drive into th...
I had a facial with Pamela today, she was very nice and professional. She gave me the most thorough extraction and that was exactly what i needed. The receptionist was very friendly and quick on checking me in as well. Overall it was an excellent experience, and I can t wait to come back!
Had a wax service here and saw Caryann. She was very sweet and professional. She was fast and also painless. Will come back! Thank you!
I never had problem in here before. But this time i had a bad experience with my haircut.
I asked for a little trim, all same length, just 1 inch trim.
When she just started cutting my hair it was ok, the length was just fine. But as she continued cutting my hair, i feel like she trimmed more than...
Came in to get a trim and left with a complete short hair cut. I honestly cant stop crying. Took me three years to grow my hair and it was all gone in an hour. I don't understand how this is even happened. I even told my hair dresser that I am trying to grow my hair and that I only want to cut what ...
I think this salon is a little bit hit or miss. Two people I know got great haircuts from them but mine is really ugly.
Came to Atelier By Tiffany because I needed a quick fix for my root hair coloring. From the time I entered to finish, Lucy and Eric was so amazing and friendly to make sure everything I need was taken care of. The overall service was great, and things were done efficiently which I loved and apprecia...
As an alumni, I really appreciated the level of professionalism while at Cinta aveda institute. While learning new techniques and honeing my other skills, they helped me elevate my service experience so that one day, I ll be able charge market prices for color and cuts. My past employment was in re...
I just got my facials here second time.. Overall, the experience was quite good compare to the price they offered. They used Aveda product for your skin. Please noted that facials will be performed by students. And be on time. They do have 10 mins late policy. Once you are late, trust me they will c...
Really good services at a decent price. This was by far the best bikini wax I ever received. Soooo smooth no flyaway hairs left, I had the best wax at the party and suuuuch a good price. They really take care of their clients here!!
Love this place, friendly staff and super affordable waxing services!
the student washed my hair then she dried it out perfectly it looked permed she used detangled
This is a review to its haircut service by students.
Went 4 times for haircut and had mixed good and bad cuts. What they have in common is that cut is very slow and you need to be very proactive about how you feel and what you want.
The last time of the 4 was bad. The guy was talking in really ind...
After years of SuperCuts and other cheap haircuts, I tried the Aveda school. It's a $120 haircut... for $14. Totally incredible. And the people are really nice.
Students offering barber cuts and beard trims at pretty good prices
Just had a hair cut today. Apart from cutting way more than I asked, the shape is a joke. I shouldn t have gone there in first place
Horrible experience... I showed them different hairstyles and got weird than expected...One star only to wrote my review...You guys better to improve..not visiting next time
Great first appointment! Really loved how attentive and accommodating the staff are. From the receptionists to the technicians, definitely great customer service. They were careful not to use anything that would irritate my skin. Rita and Shawn are really nice and truthful abt what you need in your ...
Don't go here, I wish I did not.
I walked in to make an appointment. I told the front desk that I wanted to work with a gamma stylist, the highest level of stylist in training. The person they supposedly were booking me with was a beta, second tier, but she is from a foreign country where she ...
WOW !!! This place is amazing. My stylist was Ben and he really took the time to explain to me about how hair colors work and the science behind it - I learned so much today. I came in with super dead hair; it had been box-dyed and permed. More
Got my haircut here last week for $18. Great deal. Now it took 2 hours for me to get a simple haircut, but I understand that by requesting a haircut here, it helps a cosmetology student earn his or her hours. So it's important to be patient and nice with them! They're learning! Cutting someone's hai...
Wow. What can I say other than fantastic! They were so professional and articulate. Definitely coming back!
They were very rude to me when I came and gave a bad service. When I complained they said "I'm sick of hearing you complain".
If you want excellent education and training in all things beauty, this is where you need to be. I love the structure and culture at the Cinta Aveda Institute. The teachers are nothing but amazing!! The Cinta Aveda Institute gives you an elevated experience in learning how to do hair and make up. If...
Although it is an Aveda salon, Aveda research students perform the treatment, so you can receive care at the spa and salon at an exceptional price!
The beauty salon is on the second floor.
The trainee is waiting at the entrance and will guide you.
You can receive treatment in a private room separ...
Every waxing service I've gotten throughout the years have always been fast, clean, and professional. Great place!
Yup agree with the number of posters below. Gave it a shot but their scheduling service is amateur - and they excuse it base it on a fact that they are a school. Being a school is no excuse for not calling the customer when the stylist they have requested is absent! After 2 adjustments and a lot of ...
Nice people but unfortunately I don't think they know what they are doing. I know people who went in for haircut here and had a great experience but I came here for a full arm waxing and unfortunately left with some burns and skin peeling. I was greeted by a new student and brought into the spy room...
I have been going to Mina for years. She has moved locations a few times and I followed her where ever she went. I have never been disappointed in the way she cuts my hair. Mina is just great. I just love her. I would never allow anyone but Mina to cut my hair ever. I would highly recommend th...
Always had good experiences with the hairdressers here. Very good value, just bring more time as they are all in training. It helps if you know what you want and can show photos. The receptionists, however, have 'whatever' written all over them. Barely do what's necessary, don't seem to care and cer...
I have been getting facials at Cinta Aveda for years! The products are great and the students are very professional.
Was very pleased with the haircit and styling I recieved from Olivia. She was very understanding and thorough in helping me achieve the style I wanted. Overall a great experience.
I have been having my hair done by Kate for last two yeas she has been awsome!! Sevices are good staffs are friendly!! i would definitely recommend this place!!
Super Bad experience with the staff. I booked an appointment for a specific time and date but upon arrival they denied the services saying that your appointment was for 15 minutes earlier and we cant accommodate you now. When I told them about my appointment time, they just sorry and asked me to com...
I had a facial at the institute with Sam today. The overall experience was lovely. The esthetician program is phenomenal and the instructors are very kind and are very good at their crafts. I would definitely recommend the institute for a facial or to get your hair done as a lovely well deserved tr...
Although it s the school, I ve always had very professional students, who do their best to treat me like a high-class salon client. And in particular, today I had a fantastic treatment done by a student who has been asked turning at a high-class salon in Healdsburg. As a result, she s learned a lot ...
Sorry for the late update. Hedi contacted me in a timely manner. And she booked me another appointment to re do the perm. So I got another try. Now it's has been a week since the second perm. Perfect curls! I don't even blow dry my hair. I let it natural dry and its already in a good shape! I apprec...
I have been coming here for partial highlights for several years. You do take a gamble in getting a student that isn't skilled, but they eventually improve over time and experience while training. I've had to reschedule another highlights apporintment once, since it didn't turn out the way I wante...
Aby is the best stylist! she is talented, creative, professional and just amazing. I will definitely follow her when she is done with her schooling! I came to her after another stylist messed up on my hair and was amazed that my hair could ever look like that! She is great with hair color and cuts
I went to Aveda after a friend recommended the institute to me for the reasonable prices and I was just going in for a trim/clean-up cut. I didn't have high expectations or anything but I definitely left worrying that my hair was cut uneven in the back. The girl who cut my hair was nice and asked me...
Are you kidding? This place is GREAT! All Aveda products and prices are great half of what most spas charge, staff is sweet and trained to do the services. It takes a little long, but you save so much on the service, it's worth it for sure! Highly recommend EVERYTHING here.
This review is for Mina. She is the best artist in K town. After I read lots of review about Mina and decided to do my hair cut with her. And I made a right decision!! She is super sweet, nice and listen carefully to what I want. Though waiting time was long on Friday night, it's worth it. Thank you...
