  7. great haircut
    I had my hair cut here by Kaitlin and she did a superb job. I actually preferred the cut she gave me, over the way my regular stylist cuts my hair. Kaitlin was very professional, friendly, and did a fabulous job cutting and styling my hair. Thanks Kaitlin... I will be back for sure!!

  8. Gary Manual Aveda Excellent Choice for Personal Care
    I've never had a bad experience here and it's a great bargain considering the service. The best haircuts I've had over the last ten years has been here and I've always been treated as if I was their best customer. It's also a great way to test out the Aveda line of products. I've gone in just for a haircut, and ended up having mini-massages, make-up applied and so on just so the students can g...

  11. Great cut, great color
    I went in yesterday for a cut and color at GM Aveda Institute. I had a GREAT experience. My hair was placed in the capable hands of a stylist called Tuesday, and she did wonderful. She was knowledgable, and very helpful when figuring out what exact shade to color my hair. She convinced me (and rightfully so!) to foil in some very subtle highlights to the overall dark chestnut color. This was a gr...

    I live on the Eastside and wanted to save some money on getting my hair done. I tryed Gary Manuel Aveda Institute and what a great decision that was!

    Major Points: --Addison is amazing with both cuts AND color MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH HER ASAP! --The G.M.

This ensures that you are happy with your hair AND that you enjoy the entire experience. --They use all Aveda products. ...

  15. I cried like the model girls in America's Next Top Model.
    All I wanted when walking in was a trim. The staff had overbooked me on a previous trip so I was told that this haircut would be complimentary. When I walked in, the service was great. Everyone was friendly and nice and I was taken to my station. My hairstylist, who was introduced to me as a advanced student asked me what I wanted. I asked for a trim. He gave me a "hm...are you sure?" sort of loo...

  16. Good service, Not so great cut
    I usually go to Gene Juarez training salon but thought I'd give this place a try. The experience itself was fine. But the hairdresser was poorly trained and had no idea what chunky bangs were or facial framing. Although I don't know much about hair styling I do know those terms from going to hair dressers for over thirty years. I left with two different hair cuts. The layering wasn't even bl...

  17. great cuts, ok for color
    I've had six visits there over the last eight months - and most of the time it's been a good experience. The cut's always fantastic. I have my hair colored dark auburn, and three times it's been a great experience - while three times it's been not-so-great. Elle was able to recover the color to a normal state after a student left me with extremely "hot orange" roots - but two visits later ther...

    Im a current student of the Gary Manuel Aveda Institute and I have to say this school is one of a kind. The educators are amazing, and they know what theyre talking about! Our "learning Leaders" are required to attend education courses often so they can keep up with the trends and pass it on. I really learn something new with every client.

    Waxing has always been avoided due to fear of pain, but I was introduced to underarm and leg waxing that was basically pain free due to the spa student Marley's magic touch. She explained what was going to happen and quick to sooth before the pain could set in when she pulled the strips. I am now a convert thanks to her. I am so happy to have found her early in her career because I believe...

  21. Great Coloriest!
    I got a beautiful new color for the fall. A lovely red from Elizabeth. She then went the EXTRA mile and gave me a hand massage, and the very best blow-out of my life. I have naturally really curly hair and have been to really professional salons in California and no one could straiten it like the students here did. GREAT!!!! Took 3 hours, but it was worth it!

  22. I love this place!
    I've been going here for years (and even worked here briefly a few years ago) and I've had some very good experiences here. Let me say at the outset that I never go here for cuts - only color, and only with more advanced students. That being said, it's an affordable way to get beautiful color, whether it's foiling, single process or bleach and tone. I have seen at least 15 different students over...

    I went to this school after a friend told me to check it out. I asked for an experienced student that could help turn my shoulder length hair into a modern cut. They gave me a person named Megan. I must admit I have never colored my hair. But Megan thought a cut and some subtle highlights would look nice. I went with it, and I was very impressed with the results.

    As a recent graduate from GMAI, I have to say that it was a rollercoaster of an education. I graduated from the esthetics department and feel that my education was pretty average. Now, I've never studied esthetics anywhere else, so I could be wrong at how great the education really is. Be forewarned that this is an AVEDA Institute, and with that comes the confines of only studying AVEDA's pract...

    These cosmetology courses do not prepare you for passing the state boards. The instructors are rushed and poorly organized, need more qualified instructors to cover the floor. Be very wary before. Lots of hype and little scholastic help. Recommend another school in area with more experience.

  68. Wonderful Hair, Service and People
    I wasnt sure what to expect when I booked an appointment at a training salon but I was more impressed than I would ever imagine! I got my eyes tinted, and a hair cut and color and could not believe how little I paid and how excellent it looked.

  71. Tea, Hand Rub and a Hug

  72. Changing esthetics for seattle
    As a student the toghest challenge is deciding where to go! There are so many great cosmetology institutes out there with the longstanding reputations to back them up. However, of all the places that I have visited (which is extensive) I have never been as impressed as i was with the gary Manuel Aveda Institute. I had the most fantastic experience from the time I set foot in the door and it o...

  73. Terrific Experience
    Everyone at the Gary Manuel Aveda Institute went out of their way to make my student interview an exceptional experience. There is a really special feeling here that I haven't felt or seen at the other schools in the area. Look out Seattle, this place is really going to be something special!
