This past Black Friday was my first *major* Black Friday weekend for my lifestyle apparel brand Ven & Rose. All the planning, strategizing and long nights (that turned into early mornings) were worth it, but afterward I was TIRED.
Enter Aveda. A few days after Black Friday, I got to check out the new Aveda Experience Center at NorthPark Mall here in Dallas. That invite was right on time because I definitely needed to unwind a bit.
The Aveda Experience Center is led by experiences. So while all the Aveda products will be available, the experience extends way beyond retail. It’s about playing and discovering.
The new Experience Center in Northpark features 10 Experience Zones where you can self-navigate your way through different areas of interest, including haircare (men’s and women’s), beauty (skincare and makeup), body care, and aroma.
My experience started at the “Art of Hair Experience Zone” with some hair talk, a scalp analysis (complete with close-up photos), and some product testing & recommendations.
Then I headed over to my favorite experience of the session. Aveda really spoke my love language when they brought over the fresh-brewed tea while I sat to get a relaxing neck & shoulder massage. I’m not a coffee drinker but if you give me tea, I’ll love you forever. 🙂
After following up with a hand massage and facial, I headed over to play in a little makeup. Since I had just gotten an amazing facial, I decided to let my skin breathe so I only had my brows done & opted for a rich plum lip color.
The entire experience at the Aveda Experience Center was totally amazing and just what to unwind & relax. The best part of all this? It’s complimentary. If you need some quick relaxation or maybe a break from holiday shopping, you can simply stop by the Aveda Experience Center.
If you would like to make it a girlfriends affair, they also do pampering parties so make sure you enquire about those while you’re there.
Currently, there are Aveda Experience Centers open in Dallas (NorthPark Mall), Denver & Minneapolis. If you live in any of those cities, be sure to check them out. I will definitely be going back.
