O’Briens Aveda Institute Reviews, Prices, Services, Photos

Took my almost 4 year old son there today. We got the most amazing barber, he was not only very friendly to be but he was also beyond nice to my son. When we left my son loved his experience, hair style and he told me that he can’t wait to see his friend again! Most wonderful haircut experience! Thank you Anthony and Aveda!!!

I went to O’Brien’s Aveda for the first time to obtain skinny platinum highlights (I also received a trim.) The student was a conscientious, sweet young woman who actively sought clarification and direction-I would give her 5 stars!
Unfortunately, when I got home there were no highlights in my hair…see photo. The reason why I won’t return to O’Brien’s is that when the time came to pay…there was quite a discrepancy in fees advertised and the fees charged. On the website, partial highlights are listed as $40+ for my short hair.That is what I normally spend in a salon. I was charged $60 for the partial highlights. The woman at the register was exceptionally rude and went on about bowls and toner. I’m not a beautician and I don’t know (nor do I care) about mixing chemicals and “bowls”. I just want transparency about costs. And not transparent highights. When I got home, besides the invisible highlights, I found I was charged an additional $2. Again, if you’re not up front about costs, you look shady.

I have been going to Aveda Institute for my hair and have never had a bad experience. The students do wonderful jobs at listening to how you would like your hair styled and treated. They are extremely compensation about making sure you walk out happy and have the teacher check their work. Isabel did a fantastic job with treating my hair and cutting it. Highly recommend going here.

students are friendly smiling sociable they wash with nice shampoo before cutting best haircut every time I’m always relaxed at o’briens my hair is my best quality when I get a nice haircut I recommend o’briens to everyone who wants a great experience

I wish they had a 6-Star rating to give to places, because this clinic definitely deserves it! Its a hidden gem. Great service at an amazing price.
This was my second time going to the clinic on 7/27/23 and it was better than my first time earlier in the year. I knew the stylist I had previously worked with had graduated, so I was ready to be taken care of by a new stylist-in-training.
When I arrived I was greeted by Joel. There was an overall excitement in the clinic with the smiles on faces of everyone. Joel not only had an infectious smile, but he added a bubbly flair to make me comfortable with him within the first few minutes of being there. He explained things as he went along. He explained the different types of hair products and suggested shampoo and conditioner that would support my type of hair. He clarified on multiple occasions if the amount the was looking to cut what I was looking for. On a couple of times I said I wanted more cut, but he explained why he was suggesting “let’s cut it a little bit longer”…I can always cut more off, but I don’t think you’d like me to try to glue the pieces back on. I’m glad I listened to his suggestions, my cut came out exactly what I was looking for.
I appreciated being in a place with a collegial atmosphere amongst the instructors and students. I appreciated to have Joel treat me as though I was most important person in that room. When guidance or support was needed, either Joel or the other student introduce themselves to me and then asking if it was okay to offer their input to Joel.
I felt everyone wanted each other to succeed.
I know I walked out of the clinic feeling really good with the information on how to better take care of my hair but I loved my ‘new-do.”
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this clinic to anyone. I can’t wait to go back!
