Senses-An Aveda Concept Store Salon & Spa

I have visited Aveda three times, and two out of three times I was very happy. The first was a hair appointment for an up do for a wedding I was attending. I was able to get a same-​day appointment which was amazing and really helped me out. The stylist was super friendly and funny and really captured the vision of what I wanted without having a picture.
The second time I had made an appointment for a haircut. The stylist had a COMPLETELY different vision than I had, and thinned out my hair way too much (5 months later, it is still not back to normal — and I have too-​short layers that are taking forever to grow back). When I visited another stylist after, she said that my hair had pretty much been butchered.
The third time, however, I was booked in for a makeup application and loved every moment of it! She listened to exactly what I wanted, and I had many compliments on her work.

I was on vacation and wanted a little treat for my toes so I booked an essential pedicure.
I was able to get a same-​day appointment (not sure how often that happens).
The reception area of the spa is tucked in the corner of a women’s clothing store in Confederation Court Mall. The treatment area itself is down a flight of stairs which might make the spa not accessible to some.
My pedicure was excellent. My appointment started on time. The aesthetician was professional, taking my cue of not talking too much. And, to my joy, the pedicure was on a bed in a treatment room allowing for complete relaxation. The spa is an Aveda concept spa so all the skin care products were from Aveda while the polish was my favourite, OPI.
If you go with a friend or a large group, you can request the recliners which allow you to chat while having your service performed.
Overall, the pleasant environment, good service and reasonable price of $ 45 left me happy and with handsome looking feet. I’d definitely recommend Senses.
