Team GLAMOUR.COM put the Aveda Institute Hair Salon in Holborn, London to the test - more beauty salon and spa reviews.
Tested By: Philippa Morgan, Fashion and Shopping Editor
The Salon This is the HQ for Aveda's education centre and the flagship salon in the UK. With an in-house French cafe, unpretentious beauty rooms, a spacious hair styling floor and alluring shop: this salon is a new-age sanctuary within lofty London architecture.
The Treatment A cut, colour and blow dry by the Aveda team.
What It Involves The Aveda mantra is about nurturing hair with botanical luxury products and achieving one's long-term hair dreams. I turned up with a head of bleached-blonde, frazzled tresses thanks to over-enthusiastic salon-hopping. I left with a glossy head of ash blonde hair and a cut that miraculously made my locks look longer! The proof is in the pudding, as such.
The Verdict Each step of the salon experience is done with friendly professionalism and Aveda panache. The waiting game associated with hair dyeing is transformed into an opportunity to pamper, thanks to at-your-seat hand massages, fresh salads from the cafe and arranging further appointments to try out the spa menu. Expect to be so spoilt that a standard salon just doesn't cut it - excuse the pun.
