Outshine the Competition

Aveda Institute

Uh, oh. Here comes Little Miss Grand Entrance with the chip-free nails, flawless skin, and hair that seems to have wafted out of a shampoo commercial.

Humph. How does she do it — on a meager staffer salary, no less? Must be blackmailing someone with her tell-all smut blog.

Now, now. Instead of spreading rumors, take a trip to the Aveda Institute. You, too, can look like a million bucks without blowing your budget (or selling your soul).

Supervised student hairstylists use Aveda’s soothing plant-based products to deep condition and color your locks. Estheticians in the making counteract chilly weather and long hours with facials or revitalizing eye treatments. Or update your game face with a professional makeup lesson.

Probably best to skip the manicure. Those claws don’t need any more sharpening.

Aveda Institute, 713 7th Street NW, between G and H Streets (202-824-1624).
