I wish I could rate Aveda zero stars I wish I could rate Aveda zero stars. The customer service is TERRIBLE. They repeatedly shipped orders with missing items and they will not correct their mistakes. Phone calls with customer service are totally useless. There is never a response from written attempts to contact them. It’s so bad, I think they are intentionally working to anger and disappoint customers. I wish I had seen the many poor reviews before I ordered from Aveda. Lesson learned.

Poor company to deal with Poor customer service. No despatch email or any news about order placed 4 days ago. Tried to do live chat but it's unavailable. Nothing either from their courier (and I have checked spam/junk ). Unless you have signed up to an account it's very difficult to get any information about your order. Hopefully the goods will eventually get here otherwise its £80 lost.

SOS DISASTROUS SERVICE SOS DISASTROUS SERVICE DISASTROUS EXPERIENCE !! Before the appointment I asked the hairdresser if a balayage was ok to my hair to avoid any damages . The stylist told me it was fine . I never asked for haircut but she insisted . Fine . Here is the result . I had straight and mid length voluminous hair before this traumatic experience. Almost 1300 aed for ruined , chewy , gummy hair + a completely butchered horrific haircut and disgusting grey/yellowish color . I am at loss for words . Saying I’m devastated is an understatement not to mention how much more I’ll have to spend in care for the next few months and the waste of time I spent growing my hair for years .

I love Aveda, BUT way too expensive I love Aveda, but their prices are too expensive for the small amount of product. WHY can't we get bigger containers???.. The containers do not increase in size and in fact, have decreased, yet the prices continuously increase. Awards and free samples do not compensate for the massive amount being charged. Aveda is a multi-million dollar company, so when will they stop being greedy and become more customer enlightened? Why can't they make 12 or 16-oz containers? They're charging $40 for 4 oz...WTH!! It's called gouging, just in case you didn't know the terminology. Shame on you Aveda for using lame excuses for your high prices.

Dreadful customer service After several long phone calls, I was finally offered a refund of 20% off my order, that was originally offered by Aveda as a first time purchaser. The discount was not applied as I had samples in my basket and so that apparently negated the offer. Problem was, I did not add these samples, Aveda did, and there was no way I could remove them! After 3 long phone calls, the woman FINALLY agreed, "as a goodwill gesture" to refund the 20% (and only after I told her to cancel the order immediately). My order of £154 should have meant a 20% refund of £30.80. What I have actually received is just £23.10. There is no point trying to call again, it was like banging my head on a brick wall. Needless to say, I will not recommend or buy from the company (or indeed Estee Lauder) again. The items will be returned as soon as they arrive. Dreadful customer service - and I wish I had read the reviews here before I started this waste of time debacle. UPDATE: Despite Aveda asking me to contact them by email, which I have, it's clearly just a ploy to make them LOOK like they care about customers. No reply whatsoever...
