Editorial Review for Jean Madeline Aveda Institute – by Lauren McCutcheon

In Short
This is a beauty school where white-smocked, intricately coiffed cosmetology and esthetician students are trained according to stringent Aveda standards. Sixty hairstyling stations stand ready for Saturday morning clients, but only those stations manned by senior students do official business. Same goes for the body wrap, facial and manicure areas, where trainees toil under the eyes of instructors. All services are bare-bones, but high quality. Best of all, they are about one-third salon prices.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

If you just need a once-over, this is the place to go and best of all most affordable option in the city...as long as you don't mind waiting a little longer as the students have to do everything "exactly right". The teachers must approve the color before the application and the students use a brush to get the roots. Take advantage of the delicious Aveda tea while you wait! Also a frequent buyer card is available if you use Aveda products...

Pros: Affordable, correct color application, delicious Aveda tea

Cons: Hectic enviornment, longer process

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I have gone to Jean Madeline to get my hair done twice now. The first time I had a girl who did not know anything she was doing, or even how to begin to cut my hair, she was obviously not even one bit professional.. But then I thought I would give it another try and this time I had a man named Bryce ( which i was nervous about) and it was the best haircut I have ever had. The first thing he did was sit me down in his chair and talk about what I wanted out of my hair, how much time and effort I wanted to put into it every day and everything about what products I need to use and how to get the same look at home. An amazing experience for only $15 bucks!!! It will be sad when hes gone because I wont be able to afford him!!!!!

Pros: good price, great cut

Cons: some students dont even know what they are doing,
