Dillard’s Salon & Spa at Altamonte Mall / Aveda

Positive: Cleanliness, Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, ValueI had moved from Seattle to Orlando and was looking for a stylist at an Aveda salon near me. The Altamonte location is closest to me, so I called to make an appointment with someone who is good with working with red, as my hair is a unique color red. The woman on phone told me Ada had some open appointments and that she was great with red color. My first appointment with her was Sept 2020 – she did a great job, but it was a bit darker of a red than I would have liked; more deep merlot red when I was wanting a bit more of a copper red. She said if I wasn’t happy in any way that I could come back in and we will work together to get it to what you want. I was fine with it and said I would see how it would fade. Towards the end of November I wanted to get my hair touched up for my sister’s wedding, so I made an appointment with her. We talked thoroughly when I arrived and looked at samples and photos, I was able to find an email with an old formula an Aveda stylist used on me 2 years prior (wasn’t the red I was wanting but thought she could maybe read that and tweak it to get what I was looking for.) She recommended pulling some of the brown tones out with just a clarifying shampoo so we didn’t have to use bleach which I was grateful for because it can damage the hair. She put together a formula to apply and the outcome was beautiful, but my roots were a bit lighter than the rest of my hair, so she applied some more to the roots to balance/even it all out. She was so patient, kind, and cared about attention to detail. She worked with me for about 4 hours to get the results I wanted, and wow did it turn out AMAZING!! My hair is also extremely long which can difficult to work with, but she did a great job. She is so sweet and easy going, easy to talk to, and so very talented with what she does! I am so grateful to have found her to use as my stylist. Thank you so much Ada! You are amazing! Highly recommend Ada. I love Aveda, and this location is convenient and the vibes are super chill, which I love.Services: Hair coloring, HairstylingI had moved from Seattle to Orlando and was looking for a stylist at an Aveda salon near me.
