Casa Verde Salon Spa

I recently went to Casa Verde and had some spa services and a hair cut. The spa services were great but the hair cut wasn’t good. It was bad… but I was hesitant to call and go back as not to hurt the girl who cut its feelings. I knew I needed another cut so I called. The manager was so kind, unbelievably understanding, and really encouraged me to come back in. He set up a time for me to come in with the one of the owners. WOW… not only am I amazed by the perfection of my haircut but even more amazed by the graciousness and kindness of everyone here. While he was cutting my hair he was so kind and uplifting. He never once criticized the first person who cut my hair or made me feel bad that I wanted to come back. I cannot recommend Case Verde highly enough. They’ve taken customer service to the level of absolute care and kindness.

I had an excellent experience here yesterday. I called a few days in advance and was able to get an appointment. My stylist, Lucia, was great. She was friendly and got a good understanding of what I wanted (highlights and a trim) before she got started. She was quick and knowledgeable when she got to work. She brought over color swatches and an iPad to make sure of what I wanted. Receiving a neck message and hand exfoliation/​massage was a really great addition. My highlights and cut (I’m growing out a pixie cut, so it was important that she not cut too much off) came out exactly as I pictured. This rarely happens! I noticed that all of the other stylists were treating their clients equally as well, and every woman that walked out of there looked awesome!
The only thing that was a little awkward was how the receptionist comes over with an iPad toward the end of your appointment to book your next appointment. It sort of puts you on the spot. While I did book my next appointment, I think it would have been a little uncomfortable if I had said no. However, I can see why they do this — and I’m sure that if you’re a regular, it’s nice to be able to book your next appointment quickly.
Lucia didn’t make me feel rushed or like I was somehow putting her out by telling her what I wanted. I will definitely be back!

Poor quality hair cut — choppy and blunt and not at all what I asked for.
Staff made me feel uncomfortable when I did not immediately make a follow up appointment.

I Casa Verde! I left New Mexico last year and absolutely miss Diane and the rest of Casa Verde staff. They are all professional, yet personable. Diane is amazing! I have super short hair, and she always does a fantastic job – keeping the femininity with the short cut. I lived in Santa Fe and had no problem driving to Albuquerque each month.

3 things I don’t want to encounter with an up-​close salon treatment: OPH (other people’s hairs), fluorescent lights, and cigarette smoky hands. 3 stars for same-​day booking, friendly staff and no-​sting vegetable based lash tinting, but laying down on a sheet that’s a couple hours overdue for a change doesn’t set the right tone for service, and holding my breath to stave off a smell that takes me back to my grandpa’s chain smoking days definitely doesn’t seem very… Aveda-​ish. Might put off returning until I can be sure of a consistently high quality experience.

I had a Living Social deal for a deep conditioning treatment, hair cut, and brow wax/​tint in August. I had an easy time scheduling my appointment. My stylist, Erin, took good care of me, listened to my requests, and was nice to chat with. She also let us have comfortable silences, which added to the relaxing atmosphere. She did a great job on all my services. My cut still looks great and so do my brows, even though it has already been a month. I already scheduled my next appointment with Erin. The only area that could have been improved upon was the checkout, which was a little rushed and odd, and was done by another staff member (but not a receptionist) – she was unpacking tons of Aveda products and jusy seemed a bit distracted. Overall, this is a nice, clean, calm salon and I will be back. Bonus for the Aveda tea at check in.

Dena saved me from a horrendous hair experience. I went to Atlanta (where I’m originally from) to have a day of hair pampering but instead ended up with fried mess. I showed her a picture and she gave me exactly what I asked for and then some. Thanks so much for pampering me today. I think I’ve found The One!

I was very impressed with Casa Verde, just what I expected rom an Aveda salon. Beautiful and calming! My hair cut was just what I asked for and Kristen was super friendly.

Where to begin??! I absolutely loved my experience here! Dena is one of a kind! She listened to exactly what I wanted and also went as far as to show me how to style it the way I wanted. Being from LA it was a nice breath of fresh air. The whole staff at Casa Verde were very friendly, happy and you could tell they loved their jobs! They also give a complimentary scalp massage at the beginning of each appointment, and I also received a great hand scrub/​massage. Could not recommend this place more highly! I will definitely come back when in Albuquerque! Thanks Dena!

I have been coming here for a while now. Each time I come I am so excited to relax and get pampered regardless of the service I get. My most recent trip was for a haircut with Emilee and a brow wax with Renee. Needless to say I love the both of them. Renee is very relaxing and fun to chat with and really made me feel relaxed and calm even though I come into the salon with my busy schedule and a to-​do list 100 lines long, they make me take a step back and relax. They even asked if I wanted to wait for Emilee in the quiet/​dimly lit area since I mentioned I was stressed and enjoying the relaxing environment. My appointment with Emilee was on time and relaxing as always. I’m a busy student who works so I never get to come in «regularly» but regardless she never makes me feel bad, doesn’t try to over-​sell (she recommends things I mention liking or needing), and is super friendly. Emilee makes me feel like a close friend to chat with and relax. until I fall asleep while she’s blow drying my hair. I’ve never been disappointed here and have recommended Casa Verde to multiple friends who have also never been disappointed. I will be back! Hoping to plan a massage during my next break!

If you want to relax and indulge yourself, Casa Verde Spa is the place! Jack is amazing and he addressed all the strained areas of my back with a deep tissue massage. I’ve only had the massages and waxing services but from having lived in Los Angeles for five years, this spa compares to a high end west coast spa! Friendly and clean environment. They offer water or tea, have family and friends specials and were able to fit me in the same day. Very affordable, unique and awesome customer care!

I started going to Casa Verde about the summer of 2013. The hair stylist I see, Emilee, gives a great haircut.
In addition to giving good haircuts, she makes you feel very welcome and is very friendly. While that doesn’t make a great haircut, it definitely helps the experience.
Best thing about the haircuts is that they are easy to style, and they grow out very good as well. In the past, at other salons, I would get a good looking cut and look good for that day, but after time, it was apparent the cut wasn’t meant to last. With Emilee’s cuts my hair grows out, as it should, but the hair looks great all the way until my next appointment with her.
Overall, Emilee, is a 5-​Star experience. I hope she never leaves this place.

The receptionist with blond hair was superb! She gets a 5 stars. One of the better salons in the state as far as talent. The chakra reading was 5 stars.

A bit loud so not very relaxing. Too much going on in small place

I some how received a coupon or gift card here early 2012 and decided to give the Spa a try. They had this great deal, Haircut and eyebrow wax for $ 50, or something like that. So, in I went, I met Ashley, I now love Ashley! She has gone from being ‘Pure Talent’ to «Master Talent» which means she cost me more. But, seriously I love my haircuts. She does a great job and I really like her. I would recommend her in a heart beat. I have curly hair, which I straighten… I know I know, when I was younger I had straight hair that I curled, I just don’t get it either! Anyway, I think she is fabulous and I like the place. I read someone say that they felt pressed to buy products, and I will say that I am told about products each time I visit, but I don’t feel pressed because nothing mean or bad happens when I say ‘no’ :o)

This was my first facial and I cant say that I was impressed. It annoyed me that the therapist had to ask what type of skin I had since I feel like any professional could have looked and identified my skin type. The facial itself was uneventful. The girl was polite and professional, but also rather forgettable. I felt very pressed into buying aveda products after the facial as well. It was not the experience I hoped it would be.

I have spent many years spending little money on my hair… and it probably showed.
So about a year and a half ago I decided to just suck it up, find a good stylist, and shell out a bit more money. Little did I know how great it would turn out to be!
I’ve been going to Casa Verde since summer 2011 and am thrilled with the services. Denise is my regular stylist, but I have also had to have another stylist due to my lame ass schedule changes and she was also great.
Other things in the plus column include the hand massage you get while waiting for your color to set, and the new online appointment booking.

I went to see April for a haircut and she did such a wonderful job! This place was very calming and relaxing. April listened to my concerns and wants and even showed my a styling trick (which I was actually able to replicate at home). She also directed me toward a shampoo and conditioner that was far more appropriate for my hair type. The hair spray she used was awesome as well so I walked away with a small bottle of that as well.
Another very nice thing about this salon is that you also have the option of text message reminders for when you have an appointment. I liked the fact that it was super easy to get there and that there was an abundance of parking spaces. The price of the haircut was very reasonable and I was also willing to buy products because I didn’t feel like the cost of the cut broke the bank.
I have already scheduled my next haircut and I’m looking forward to it!
Oh and I forgot to mention– you also get a very nice scalp massage with the haircut. It was so relaxing that for a second I thought I might actually doze off!

Had a wonderful experience at Casa Verde yesterday and had to pen a review. I got a beautiful color and flawless cut from Diane, one of their most educated and experienced stylists. She took the time to listen to my ideas and expectations during the consultation and then custom mixed the perfect auburn for my skin tone and style. Both Diane and Selena, a new stylist who assisted with my color, made the entire experience fun and enjoyable. Definitely not a place where you’ll have the awkward silent stylist, they were both funny and engaging. They take the time to make the client feel pampered and cared for, with a makeup touchup before I left and the products I wanted packed up perfectly for me before I even reached the front desk.
I would absolutely recommend Casa Verde — it’s the perfect place for a fun, relaxing experience with extremely skilled and professional stylists.

This is my first time visiting another Aveda salon in the ABQ area… I must say I love this place more than the «other» one!
I had a 9 am appt for a cut, deep condition, style and 2 waxing services. I was in the chair at 9 and out the door by 10:30. The stylist Erin I had was a master stylist and she did an amazing job. The aesthetician, Sophia is equally as awesome.
I think I’ve found my new favorite Aveda salon in town!
