In these COVID friendly times the staff were professional and I felt comfortable and safe.

The online booking system is one of the worst I've used and the size of the drinks you are offered whilst waiting are borderline ridiculous, having said that, the actual treatments and experience you have at Aveda is great. The atmosphere is cool with lots going on and it's always busy. Staff are knowledgeable and it's in a great central location.

Very relaxing, first class staff you leave feeling on top of the world.
So much so that don't get surprised if you get stopped in the street and complimented on how fab you look.
True story!!!

I used this salon for many years, I was impressed at the beginning, but the staff quality went down. I had a balyage yesterday and the colour turned out lovely. My cut and blow dry with Beverley was one of the worst experiences I ever had. She didn't ask me properly how I wanted my hair cut, didn't even ask my name, just came by and clumsily started cutting my hair. She did the bare minimum, didn't layer it, had no clue, plus, had a horrible attitude. When I asked to take more of the weight, she stated angrily cutting, spreading hair in my face and all over me. I came to this salon all the way from Chiswick, but this was the last time. You pay a lot to be treated badly. Not worth it. Sorry Aveda. I definitely do NOT recommend Beverley.

I have been getting my hair coloured by Aline for the past three years now, and I'm yet to find someone who can match her balayage skills. The colours she uses and their transition through your hair is incredible. She is so skilled and leaves my hair feeling beautifully nourished and soft after the colouring.
If you are looking for a great haircut, I would highly recommend Chloe. She is really sweet and provides the perfect sharp cut.
Overall, I would highly recommend Aveda. They have always been so professional and welcoming. I honestly couldn't ask for a better service

I love this place. I’ve been a customer for few years now and I’m super satisfied.
My journey is about 30-40min and I really don’t mind as I can’t find the quality anywhere else.
Aline is my colourist and she is just the best! No one has ever got my colour right as perfectly as she does it. Plus she is a great girl and extremely professional.

Carl has been my colourist at Aveda for over 5 years now, and I wouldn't go anywhere else! He's been absolutely fantastic, and the whole team is really lovely. I'm always well looked after, and everyone knows when I'm feeling social and chatty...versus just in need of some quiet time and R&R. The products are amazing, and facilities are spot on.

I’ve been having my hair done with Aline for the past three years now, and let’s just say, she never disappoints. I’ve visited many salons in the past and I’m yet to find someone who does such a beautiful balayage. The transition of colours she uses is amazing and I get so many compliments.
If you are also looking for a hair stylist, choose Chloe. She is so lovely and gives me the perfect cut.
Overall, the Aveda team as a whole are beyond awesome. They are so professional and welcoming. I honestly couldn’t ask for a better service.

Lovely experience at the Aveda Institute during the pandemic. I was welcomed by a friendly staff and felt safe and reassured during my entire time spent there. I had highlights done by Dave, who has done an amazing job, thorough and precise.Followed by a haircut by Chloe, who has done an excellent job creating the look I wanted. I have received so many compliments on both my haircut and colour. Highly recommended!

I am super pleased with my new hair! Aline listened carefully to my ideas of how I wanted my colour hair to be, and the results were exactly how I wanted it - blonde and natural. Chloe cut my hair in a speed as I was rushed for time. Still the results were great and she managed to style it nice and natural in the short time I had. Definitely coming back :)

I have been coming to Aveda for years now and I always see Carl for my colour and Michael for my cut. My hair was in a bit of a state before these two gems sorted me out - they really care about their job and how your hair health is as well as how it looks. I live a few hours away and I still make the trip every time to see them both and always rebook. I couldn't recommend them each individually more or Aveda - the whole place is fantastic and they've dealt with all the restrictions around Covid amazingly well. Thoroughly thoroughly recommend - Carl and Michael are not only amazing at what they do but they're fab people as well and we always have a bit of a giggle.

Had an amazing experience at the Aveda Institute as always. Aline has been doing my hair for a few years now. On my first consultation with Aline, I have explained my choice of hair colour and what I was hoping to achieve and with her creative skills I have the right colour and love it. Aline is a master of Balayage, absolutely love my highlights! She always pays full attention to her client’s request. Aline’s communication with her clients is excellent and she provides amazing customer service too! I can’t wait to come back and definitely would recommend her to everyone! Thank you Aline! X

Carl has being doing my colour for years now, and he is AMAZING. I couldn't wait to get back to see him after lockdown, he just works magic!
When we first met I had been travelling for a year, and putting all sorts into my hair - he suggested a darker shade for me, and I had so many compliments. I've never looked back! Also my hair always feels in such good condition afterwards which is so important.

I visited AVEDA couple of days a go and was amazed by how organise it was although quit busy. A lady by the entrance advised me to use one of the provided bags, sanitise my hands and took me to the waiting area. I booked for a hair cut with Angelo (he is mainly known to be hair colourist) who met me minutes later. The hair cut was the best I ever had, I got many compliments about it and TBH, Angelo is perfectionist so he did spend some time to make it perfect. I love it and cannot thank Angelo enough <3 I highly recommend this place and especially Angelo, such a sweet personality. I am planning to book him again to colour my hair :)

Booked a hair appt a week ago. Called to adjust time only to find out its "temporarily closed" . A phone call or text to customers would have been nice. Not a nice way to treat us.
Update - The salon re-opened on the day of my appt and I was lucky that I saw their text in time that morning. I received a personal apology from the manager and a small sorry gift for the hassle. He was sincere so thank you Aveda

I visited for the first time yesterday and Beverly cut my hair. I have natutally curly hair and so often stylists aren't really sure what to do with it but this was not the case here. My cut is excellent, one of the best I've had in a very long time. Would highly recommend.

Thoroughly recommend colourist Carl who is professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Salon is very spacious and has new, wide individually-screened client areas. Staff wear masks and/or visors. No glossy mags or small cups of distinctive Aveda tea currently (due to Covid), however very relaxing head massages still on tap (today with the lovely "Fats") and a separate cafe at the front has re-opened for all those long colour appointments. Salon is a short, uncrowded walk from a still-quiet Holborn tube station. As an Aveda regular, I'm really pleased the team are back, so much so that I just re-booked for my 4th post-lockdown appointment with Carl. Keep up the great work!

Wonderful post lockdown hair cut with Abi and my daughter had an equally great experience with Zack. All the staff wore visors or masks, clients wore masks and put on their own gowns. Stylists very well spaced out upstairs and a good one way system in and out of the building. I was so happy to have a proper haircut! Also got to visit upstairs at Aveda - a lovely light space. Highly recommended .

I first met Carl 8 years ago and have made that journey all the way up to the Convent garden salon ever since to top up my highlights, despite there being an Aveda salon only 10 minutes from where I live. Carl has worked wonders with my hair which is particularly difficult to colour ash blonde, and over the years has gently steered me away from various impulsive colour changes which frankly wouldn't have worked! Not only does he really know his stuff as a colourist, it is always lovely to see him and have a good chat and a giggle.
During my recent visit, I was also very impressed with the Covid-19 measures that the salon have put in place since lockdown and felt safe being in there for several hours.

I visited Aveda for the first time few days ago. It was a great experience! My stylist listened carefully to my needs and addressed all of them, I received complimentary massage with mix of essential oils and a lovely herbal tea. My hair never looked better and I’ll definitely go back ❤️

Sent the wife here to have a full head highlights with Tae Ho, and a cut with Olivier. When she came out, she said it is the first time that she got the colour she has been after for years. Can't speak highly enough of the whole experience, and she has even stopped moaning, which is really saying something. Thank you so much, would recommend to anyone.

I’ve visited the salon twice and had wonderful results. I have fine short hair, which sadly has been damaged through a lot of colouring. Aveda were great at transforming my bleached out locks into a more subtle golden blonde. Very happy with the finished look!

I had a really bad experience with them this month. I came to London for 4 days only and booked pedicure appointment in advance to surprise my friend for her birthday. The day we got there, the lady at the front desk was not welcoming at all and made us feel u comfortable because they were busy. They said “you are 15 minutes late” and therefore could not accommodate us. I went back home but still for my friend’s sake decided to give it another try because I felt guilty that I failed to male this happened. I booked for Monday which was my last day. The day of they emailed me saying that they can’t accommodate both of us, just one person. I obviously didn’t go anymore. They have been very unprofessional and unreliable.

Their products are excellent. I have been coming to this salon since 2015 and I love it. I always get my hair done here because I love how they products smell and hairstylist are all super professionals. I get my hair done by Alini and she is awesome at colouring. I always get full head of highlights with her and she never disappoints. It is very expensive, at least for me as I am a full time student. I pay 160 for full head of highlights , no cut. But I will never go anywhere else. get your membership card so you can get a present for your bday. I got a very nice body oil for free.

I saw Émilie for colour and Sarah for wash & blowdry two weeks ago. Both were fantastic and treated my hair professionally, I highly recommend them both! I've been to see Sarah again today for a blow dry. She's amazing with textured hair, leaving my hair light, shiny but most of all healthy looking.

My wife and I just spent over £500 at this place. Overall, both of our experiences were disappointing. We both had facials with Valentina and she ignored/didn’t understand our skincare requests. The technique felt harried and harsh, like someone who was late for an appointment. We both came away more irritated than relaxed. Our haircuts were good, though.

Had an an amazing full body scrub, massage and a mini facial. So relaxing and really nice atmosphere. I also had a manicure and a pedicure, the nail polish started coming off after 3 days so not so impressed with that. But the overall experience was superb.

Had an appointment for a haircut at 10.30. At 10.45 they told me the stylist hadn’t turned up and they would move me to 11. At 11.10 still no one available to cut my hair so I left, having wasted my morning. Won’t be back.

An exceptional salon with incredibly professional staff. Half my adult life I’ve been colouring my hair - I’ve been to many salons in many cities around the world ; Aveda is one of the best I’ve been to. I’ve just had my third visit and I could be happier- from the moment you step in and you are welcomed, right through to the moment you walk out the door.
Taeho is a hair Colour Technician Extraordinaire ! And Greta does an excellent cut too, together the perfect combination. The Aveda products are excellent and work wonders on my hair and scalp. Can’t wait for my next visit.

They cut and color your hair the way they think is best. Totally ignore what you want. You can go to another good standard salon which is much cheaper. The service you pay for and expect is sub par here. There are much better salons in London, so don't be fooled by the brand. Plus they don't do tea of coffee, You have to pay for it yourself at the adjoining cafe.

Didn't listen to my request, cut to much hair off. Bad mouthed my barber for giving bad haircuts in the past yet this one is visibly much worse in my opinion. Overpriced and took too long.

Lovely place, a bit pricey, and a little cheeky to have a cafe in the salon, most places will give you a proper sized cup of tea/coffee or glass of water without charging extra.
Staff are lovely, but higher up stylists tend to be less willing to go with the cut you want, a shame for the price. However the lower and mid stylists are a lot more daring, and create fantastic looks. I'll be going back to see my current one until he leaves, he works magic on my hair.
