Salon Diversions was founded in 1993 and operates as an Aveda Concept Salon, using Aveda hair, skin, body, makeup and fragrance products in the salon and selling them to clients. The salon says it aims to be a space where everyone feels welcome, seen and respected, and that its doors are open to locals and visitors alike. It describes itself as a community as much as a salon.
Every service begins with a consultation, where clients can raise concerns, allergies or medical conditions and the team can learn what they need. Price and timing estimates are given for color changes and corrections, and some requests take more than one visit. Clients are asked to arrive 15 minutes early. Only the person receiving a service may be in the service area, with limited seating for friends or guests, and children must be supervised at all times.
On sustainability, the salon joined Green Circle Salons, a beauty-industry sustainability program, in January 2025, and says it focuses on recycling and reducing waste in its operations. It states a goal of lowering its carbon footprint. Aveda describes its products as 100% vegan and up to 99% naturally derived, made using wind power. The salon's own claims about its reputation, including describing its team as award-winning, are its own and are not independently verified here.
The team says professionals receive ongoing advanced training and professional education throughout their careers. Aveda Rituals are offered in the salon and include a cup of tea, massage of the scalp, neck, shoulders and hands, and a makeup or hair finishing touch.
Each service starts with a consultation to learn the client's needs, and the salon focuses on recycling, waste reduction and an environmental footprint goal.
