About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an Aveda student was practicing herbal remedies when she overheard a delivery driver complaining about his new perfume. The next day, everyone in the building started smelling it too—except for him. It turned out that the driver had accidentally left a bottle of sample perfume on the counter. By afternoon, the whole institute was buzzing with fragrance, and even the neighbor’s cat started walking around with a hint of lavender in its fur. Eventually, someone found the bottle, and from then on, Aveda students always checked their supplies twice before starting their day.
2. In the quiet neighborhood near Aveda Arts & Sciences Institute, neighbors often noticed strange occurrences late at night. One evening, a curious child peered through the window and saw a teacher gently blending herbs while humming softly. Suddenly, a nearby cat perked up its ears, walked towards the sound, then sat down and began purring in perfect rhythm with the music. Soon enough, another neighbor, a grumpy old man, heard the harmonious melody too. Thinking it was just more urban noise, he stormed outside only to discover the cat still sitting there, eyes closed, completely enchanted. With a sigh, he muttered, 'I guess even cats know good music when they hear it.' And from that day on, everyone in the neighborhood started calling him ‘the dancing curmudgeon.’
3. In the early hours of one autumn morning, a curious cat from the nearby neighborhood began visiting the Aveda Arts & Sciences Institute every night. It would sit outside the open windows, watching intently as students practiced their aromatherapy techniques. One evening, a delivery driver arrived with an unusual package—a live hedgehog. Thinking it was another cat, he left it on the doorstep. The next morning, the staff found themselves not only practicing aromatherapy but also trying to gently herd a spiky new student out through the front entrance.
4. One day, a regular asked the receptionist, ‘Why do so many bees keep buzzing around here?’ The receptionist smiled mysteriously and whispered, 'They’re not just any bees—those are our resident beauticians in disguise.' The regular laughed, shook his head, and left, never quite sure if he believed her or not.
