An Aveda Lifestyle location, HQ Salon Aveda's skilled stylists snip alluring layers and weave vibrant ribbons of light into locks, taking them from lackluster to lovely. Continuing education sharpens snippers' artistic reflexes and corrals the strand shifters into four levels of achievement based upon experience and number of thumbs. Both Next Generation and Designer stylists are well seasoned in the texturizing and tinting of head tendrils using Aveda's damage-free, naturally derived hair colors. The Aveda sensory experience includes the selection of a favorite scent from Aveda's botanical Pure-Fumes to soothe sinuses as attentive hands wrap clients in steam towels and gentle palms knead hands, moving upwards to invigorate noodle nests left weary by the burden of hats and adopted eaglets. Once graced with newfound polychromatism, a refreshing shampoo scrub and scalp massage clear the way for total fringe refurbishing as follicles are snipped into shape with artistic flourish and finessed into place with a blow-dry styling.

Eager Next Generation stylists step into their scissors fresh from HQ's academy, and Designer stylists have supplemented their education with advanced coif seminars on different hair types, color, and coif trends. Not only does the salon's staff participate in beautifying human terrain with earth-friendly Aveda products, they also work to preserve the environment through fundraisers for the Sierra Club and dollar piggyback rides for clients who live nearby.
