Got a new haircut to start off the new decade.
Unfortunately, I'm also saying goodbye to my $15 haircuts. I am now sheepishly hooked on Aveda's stylists, products, and their tea. Hot tea is served after you don a little protective kimono and while you wait for your stylist. You also receive a little "complimentary" relaxing head and neck massage each visit. I've been twice now to get my hair cut in the past two months. The first time I saw Jaime, an "Advanced" stylist who whipped my hair into shape in no time at all for $60. Seriously, she is so good that after my shampoo and conditioning she just held my hair up, snipped a little here, a little there, and voila! I was on my way with my new 'do and product.
More recently I needed a little touchup trim. As much as I like Jaime, I decided against paying for an Advanced stylist, so I requested a $40 Intern and they set my up with Kaila. "I think you'll really like her," the receptionist told me as I made my appointment over the phone. She was absolutely right.
Kaila was personable while not too chatty (perfect balance) and attentive. After asking what look I was going for, she made it happen. Fast. Which made me believe she knows what she's doing. And for $20 less than what Jaime charges.
Upon my departure, Kaila gave me three -$10 off my next haircut or color. I think I will drag Shrek there for his next haircut. I don't think he will put up too much of a fight. I've already got him hooked on Aveda's men's products. And tea. I brought some tea bags to take home with me.
