What Is an Aveda Lifestyle Salon, Anyway?
Here’s the inside scoop: not every salon that stocks a few bottles of Shampure on their shelves is an Aveda Lifestyle Salon. That “Lifestyle” badge is earned. It’s a title Aveda reserves exclusively for salons that eat, sleep, and breathe their highest standards—from advanced stylist education to a deep commitment to wellness and sustainability.
At Mark Pardo Salon•Skin, we don’t just dabble in Aveda; we are fully immersed in it.
- 100% Aveda, 100% of the Time: From the vibrant color we mix at the backbar to the final styling spray before you walk out the door, we use plant-powered formulas exclusively.
- Elite Training: Our team is continuously trained in Aveda’s signature cutting, color, and finishing techniques.
- The Experience: When you visit us, you aren’t just checking “get a haircut” off your to-do list. You’re treating yourself to a curated, sensory experience that’s as good for your soul as it is for your hair.
The Mark Pardo Experience: Less Errand, More Reset
The second you step through our doors, the outside world fades away just a bit. That iconic, comforting Aveda aroma—made from pure flower and plant essences—immediately lets you know you’re in a space meant for relaxation.
We believe great hair starts with great listening. That’s why we don’t rush through the introductions.
Our Promise: Every service starts with a real, thorough consultation. We want to know about your hair history, your morning routine, and what makes you feel like you. Whether you’re here for a precision cut, a dramatic balayage transformation, or a soothing scalp treatment, we listen first, then execute with intention.
And because self-care shouldn’t stop at your hairline, our spa side offers results-driven, customizable facials. We love being Albuquerque’s go-to destination where you can get your highlights refreshed and give your skin some serious love all in one afternoon.
Why We Stand Behind Aveda (And Why You’ll Love It)

And when you choose Mark Pardo, you’re pairing those incredible products with a team of stylists who genuinely love their craft.
