Ave-dahhh

Anyone who has talked to me for more than about 10 minutes knows that I am vain when it comes to my curly, brown locks. And, while I may be wearing a holey sweater and drinking my coffee out of a thrift store mug, I am willing to spend big money on my hair products.

These days I am using a three-part system of Aveda products to create the perfect balance of volume, hold, and shine. (I will spare you the details, but if you are interested, email me. I am happy to wax poetic about product). But, I ran out of the first step-product. Usually, I got to Salon Seven-0 for my hair care needs. Devon takes good care of me, but since I was in Ankeny, I thought I would buy my goods from Salon Vesta on Oralabor Road.

You have to give it to the people at Aveda. They know how to turn a boring strip mall shop on a hectic, ugly road, into a blissful, deliciously herbacious-smelling haven of hair. And, as a bonus, there's a clothing store connected to the salon. I am not much of a business person, but I do wish that more stores could create that kind of serenity and style. Their class and their gree outlook do pay off for Aveda. So, why don't other retailers get a clue?
