UPDATE

We are following the current guidelines from Montgomery County and the CDC.  If you are fully vaccinated, you no longer need to wear a mask while inside the store, we may ask for proof of vaccination.  We are no longer doing temperature checks, or covid forms; we are still offering hand sanitizer when you enter.

Facials will now include steam and our heated mitts. Thank you for your continued support!

We're Back in Business

 

We hope you and your loved ones are safe, healthy and doing well! Having received the "Go-Ahead" from our county executive we're ready and excited to welcome you back for the hair services you've been so patiently, and some anxiously, waiting for! We are very happy to announce that we will be re-opening Aveda Bethesda Salon on Monday June 1, 2020. We have missed seeing you all very much!

 

While we at Aveda Bethesda have always offered you a clean, safe place to enjoy your services, rest assured that we will be ramping up our sanitation and safety efforts throughout each day. There will be several changes to the way we do business for the time being. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we implement a few upgrades to our pre-existing protocols to comply with CDC and Maryland State guidelines.

 

We have been holding your place in line for your appointment with us. We will reach out to you to confirm your new appointment day and time. We will be working by appointment only and with modified schedules.

 

*Please note, due to high call volume, you may experience a greater hold time than usual. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Our staff is working diligently to accommodate everyone who missed their appt in March, April and May due to Covid19.
