LIV Aveda

Mankato, MN

When the new Liv Aveda Salon and Spa located at the River Place Center, the owners wanted to create a “transforming” experience for their customers -- to be like stepping inside a world of aromatic pure flower and plant essences, reflecting the Aveda brand. The owners also wanted customers to have a relaxing shopping experience in their retail store. With this in mind, our designers created a space that provides their clients a salon and spa that is both comfortable and rejuvenating. And they designed the retail area to be stress-free, encouraging clients to sip on natural teas while browsing and sampling their Aveda products. The buildout of the space included demolition of all interior walls, design and construction of a new floor plan and all new finish materials, including flooring, wall treatments, cabinetry, ceiling and lighting. The new space features a hair salon, nail salon, retail store and a private spa area. Business has been so successful that the owners recently expanded, and called upon our designers again to help them create additional spa and salon space.
