During your session, the Institute’s future superstar stylists and cosmetologists will tend to you with incredible detail while using Aveda's products, which are derived from pure plant and flower essences. A botanical hair and scalp therapy ($35) follicles with a deep moisturizing and strengthening hair and scalp treatment, followed by a scalp and neck massage, shampoo, and blow-dry. Otherwise, put your best face forward with a signature Aveda facial ($45), makeup application ($15), or pamper your handy arm paddles and toe holsters with a manicure ($15) and pedicure ($20). Maintain the grounds of your scalp lawn with a shampoo, haircut, and blow-dry ($15), style ($10), and gloss ($10), while pulling weeds from other parts of the body with a waxing ($10–$35).
There are so many services available at Aveda Institute that it might be difficult to decide which body parts should get preferential treatment. That’s why everyone gets to buy up to two Groupons. A pair of visits to the Institute will leave you with smooth and silky body parts that won’t rub each other the wrong way on the long road trip to Puerto Rico next spring break.

- Aveda Institute has been my saving grace, as I've never experienced a bad haircut from any of the students…It's almost ridiculous how much they pamper you for such reasonably priced haircuts. – mf11, Citysearch
- The students that worked on me were knowledgable [sic] and friendly. They all did their job very well and I was pleased with the results. – A TripAdvisor Member

The Groupon Guide To: Skeletons
In Mexico, today begins the celebration of Día de los Muertos —Day of the Dead. Families gather to revere departed loved ones, and everyone surrounds themselves with delicious candied skulls and other festive skeleton imagery, making Day of the Dead the safest time of year to encounter a skeleton. But what should you do if you meet a skeleton on one of the other 249 days of the year?
- Lull the skeleton to sleep by playing a soothing xylophone melody on its ribcage.
- Trick the skeleton into pursuing you into a dog park, where he will be hastily disassembled and buried.
- If famed film director Tim Burton is around, he will likely become so enraptured by the skeleton that he will try to marry it.
- Donate the skeleton to a local medical college so that students can use it for their annual bone fight.
- Trick the skeleton into being eaten by a different skeleton—he's clearly starving!
