The beauty experts at Civello, an Aveda Lifestyle Salon, firmly believe that a visit to their salon and spa should be as relaxing as possible. So they cosset guests with high-touch Aveda rituals that engage the senses. Patrons can sip cups of herbal tea before they're whisked away for their beauty treatments, which may also include a stress-relieving hand ritual, shoulder and scalp massage, or quick makeup touchup.

Stylists make over hair with cuts and color, and then can recommend all-natural Aveda shampoos, conditioners, and styling products. In addition to taming tresses, the salon staff performs massages, facials, and nailcare treatments. Civello pampers clients at its three Chicago and four Toronto locations.
