Reviews

I recently booked a child's haircut for my 4 year old at O'Briens.  After speaking with two different individuals about the appointment by phone we drove 30 minutes for the cut, only to be told that they could not accommodate children under the age of 7 when we arrived.  This information is not shared on their website, nor was it disclosed by the individuals I spoke to by phone when I booked the appointment.  I'm appalled by the lack of communication and disregard for a potential customer's time.  I have utilized Aveda Institutes in New York and DC for years and have only been thrilled with the skill and communication of the students and staff.  O'Briens in Williston does not measure up.

I went to O'Brien's Aveda for the first time to obtain skinny platinum highlights I also received a trim. The student was a conscientious, sweet young woman who actively sought clarification and direction-I would give her 5 stars! Unfortunately, when I got home there were no highlights in my hair...see photo. The reason why I won't return to O'Brien's is that when the time came to pay...there was quite a discrepancy in fees advertised and the fees charged. On the website, partial highlights are listed as $40+ for my short hair.That is what I normally spend in a salon. I was charged $60 for the partial highlights. The woman at the register was exceptionally rude and went on about bowls and toner. I'm not a beautician and I don't know nor do I care about mixing chemicals and "bowls". I just want transparency about costs. And not transparent highights. When I got home, besides the invisible highlights, I found I was charged an additional $2. Again, if you're not up front about costs, you look shady.

I wish they had a 6-Star rating to give to places, because this clinic definitely deserves it! Its a hidden gem. Great service at an amazing price. This was my second time going to the clinic on 7/27/23 and it was better than my first time earlier in the year. I knew the stylist I had previously worked with had graduated, so I was ready to be taken care of by a new stylist-in-training. When I arrived I was greeted by Joel. There was an overall excitement in the clinic with the smiles on faces of everyone. Joel not only had an infectious smile, but he added a bubbly flair to make me comfortable with him within the first few minutes of being there. He explained things as he went along. He explained the different types of hair products and suggested shampoo and conditioner that would support my type of hair. He clarified on multiple occasions if the amount the was looking to cut what I was looking for. On a couple of times I said I wanted more cut, but he explained why he was suggesting "let's cut it a little bit longer"...I can always cut more off, but I don't think you'd like me to try to glue the pieces back on. I'm glad I listened to his suggestions, my cut came out exactly what I was looking for. I appreciated being in a place with a collegial atmosphere amongst the instructors and students. I appreciated to have Joel treat me as though I was most important person in that room. When guidance or support was needed, either Joel or the other student introduce themselves to me and then asking if it was okay to offer their input to Joel. I felt everyone wanted each other to succeed. I know I walked out of the clinic feeling really good with the information on how to better take care of my hair but I loved my 'new-do." I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this clinic to anyone. I can't wait to go back! ~"Jill"~

I have been going to Aveda Institute for my hair and have never had a bad experience. The students do wonderful jobs at listening to how you would like your hair styled and treated. They are extremely compensation about making sure you walk out happy and have the teacher check their work. Isabel did a fantastic job with treating my hair and cutting it. Highly recommend going here.

Took my almost 4 year old son there today. We got the most amazing barber, he was not only very friendly to be but he was also beyond nice to my son. When we left my son loved his experience, hair style and he told me that he can’t wait to see his friend again! Most wonderful haircut experience! Thank you Anthony and Aveda!!!

I’ve been going to this salon for 6 years. I have never had a bad experience until this past Friday. I went in to have my hair colored for my wedding that was on Saturday and the INSTRUCTOR went through my hair and said I had lice then tried to tell me lice like dirty hair I wash my hair once a week. I left in tears and had my mother go through my hair. She found nothing. I then went to a different salon where the stylist and the manager went through my hair and they found nothing either. I had pretty bad dandruff until the stylist at the different salon washed my hair. Clearly the instructor at O’Briens Aveda Institute needs to be re-educated on what head lice looks like and the type of hair they like. She stated they had also denied three other people due to head lice that week. They just lost a loyal client who only had good things to say about them.

A hidden gem!  I needed my first post-Covid haircut, and somehow this place popped up on my feed.  Alexis, the student who cut my hair, was very knowledgeable and very professional. There were instructors discreetly supporting her. I’m very happy with the results, thrilled with the price, and enjoyed being in an upbeat learning environment. I’ll definitely become a regular.

I got a haircut from Zoe and couldn’t be more pleased! She was very sweet and easy to talk to throughout the appointment. She did an amazing job layering my hair and trimming my grown-out bangs. For once I am able to look forward to my next haircut instead of dreading it as the students are so detail oriented and professional! Not to mention the salon was spotless and beautifully decorated for the holidays. Highly recommend!

Jacqueline did such a good job. I was so nervous to get my hair dyed for the first time, but she nailed my full head of highlights. I’ll go back again to get it further lightened, but I felt like Jacqueline totally knew what was best for my hair and that doing it progressively was best for not totally burning my hair. Insanely reasonable price. People usually pay 3x this much for the same quality
