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...

Still no items - buyer beware Purchased items a week ago online, and nothing is shipping. Status has not changed, I've contacted customer service both via chat and by phone and no resolution. You cannot even cancel the orders unless you do it within 30 minutes of placing the order, which in itself is crap, since they aren't even shipping it out. Buyer beware! First and last order with this company! I'll be disputing any charges at this point through my payment company.

Its more like what didn't go wrong Its more like what didn't go wrong. Trying to redeem point to make a purchase but the codes they provide are too long and can't not be used. Unqualified rep Raven was useless and their entire website. What's the point of accumulating points if you can't use them. Aveda customer service is at its worst, they're a bunch of i d i o t s!!! Don't bother using their products or website

Had an amazing experience with Desiree… Had an amazing experience with Desiree and Benjamin at Easton Aveda this Sunday. Aveda prices increase constantly but their well educated staff it’s what makes me go back to the store. I learned so much from Desiree and Benjamin this time. They’re both very friendly and genuine people. Just educating me on my skin care and not pushy at all about purchasing their products.

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.
