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...

Awful first visit as I was told my… Awful first visit as I was told my appointment was on Wednesday and not today (Monday 14th August). I confirmed date and time upon phone booking yet they got it wrong. Can’t book again incase same issue occurs again. Just disappointed.

I just ordered a $72 jar of Tulasara… I just ordered a $72 jar of Tulasara Firming Sleep Masque - and when I opened the jar, it looked like the product had been used - 1/3 of it was missing and there was no secondary cap under the jar lid. I routinely order this product - for years - and I've never had this happen. Trying to get it resolved but the chat is offline until 10 a.m. (doesn't say what time zone) and a return is a PITA. I will have to reorder the product, wait for it, then hope I don't get a bad jar again. I ordered direct from Aveda, as I always have, again, for YEARS. I have accumulated a lot of points over that time. This is so sad. I recommend this product to my friends and family all the time. How this situation is handled will determine if I continue to use it and recommend it. *Rather than go through the online return process, I called Aveda and they are sending a replacement jar - recommending I throw away the defective product.

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.

Not honouring their terms and conditions of sale I was shopping on their UK website for Black Friday and there was an offer for a free gift (hair brush) after you purchase a certain amount. The offer was meant to last until end of 26/11 but for some reason when I tried to place the order in the afternoon, the offer expired and switched to something else, even though the free gift was showing as in-stock on their website. Tried calling them but was told the item is now out of stock and there's nothing they can do.
