Andrea & Aaron Specht
OUR AVEDA STORY
I like to tell the story of how Aaron and I met. Our life journeys brought both of us to Denver CO. One fateful night, the stars aligned and we crossed paths... and as they say, the rest is history.
What I'd like to share is a memory from when we were first dating. I will never forget going into Aaron's bathroom and seeing AVEDA. I thought to myself, "Wow, he likes fancy hair products!" It's like one of those childhood memories you have of a certain food. I will always remember the smell of AVEDA from Aaron's bachelor pad bathroom!
Fast forward 8 years and we opened Reputation Salon and soon after became an AVEDA concept salon.
We love AVEDA products... and we definitely love AVEDA smells!!!
We love our FABULOUS STYLISTS and our AWESOME CLIENTS!
Aaron and I are so proud to be part of the vibrant Edwardsville community. We would like to say THANK YOU to everyone for your love & support!
