I went to Ann there who gave my hair a dark even permanent color and I really liked what she did. I think the Aveda colors are a little more gentle than others and I think the color is lasting well. I don't care too much for Aveda products in general. The fragrances are just too strong, even the scents that I really like. Cons: Expensive. The stylists here didn't seem consistent. While I really like Ann, I watched someone else get their hair butchered and burned (by a stylist who looked very inexperienced) in a seat across the room. But a big thumbs up to Ann for her coloring job and her personality.
UPDATE: Ann is now at Lemongrass Salon in Encinitas--took me a while to find her again!
