Finding Your Perfect Match: Why the Exclusive 100ml Aveda Collection is Victoria’s Smartest Hair Investment

Q: Why should I buy these in-store rather than online?

The most important reason is exclusivity. You will not find these Special Edition 100ml duos on Aveda’s website or in any other retail stores. This collection is only available at eco Chic AVEDA Salon. Furthermore, buying in-store at The Bay Centre gives you access to a complimentary hair analysis.

Finding the right professional hair care routine shouldn't feel like a high-stakes gamble. At eco Chic AVEDA Salon, we understand that committing to a full-sized 1L bottle of a new line can be intimidating. That’s why we’ve introduced an exclusive solution you won't find just anywhere: the Special Edition 100ml Shampoo & Conditioner Duos.

Available only at our Bay Centre location in downtown Victoria, these "Smart Size" bottles are designed for those who demand salon-quality results without the immediate commitment or the limitations of tiny travel samples.

Common Questions About the 100ml Special Edition

Why is 100ml better than a standard Travel Size?

Standard travel sizes (usually 40ml or 50ml) often run out before you can truly see the cumulative benefits of the formula. The 100ml volume provides enough product for a multi-week trial. This allows you to experience the full transformation of your hair’s texture and strength—giving you the "full picture" before you invest in professional salon sizes.

Is it really TSA-approved for travel?

Yes! The 100ml size sits exactly at the maximum limit allowed for carry-on luggage by CATSA and the TSA. It is the most efficient way to maintain your high-end hair routine on the go without resorting to hotel amenities that can strip your hair of moisture and color.

Which 100ml collections are available at eco Chic?

We have curated four of Aveda's most powerful, plant-based systems in this exclusive size:

Botanical Repair™: For those needing deep, multi-level bond building and strengthening.
Scalp Solutions: For refreshing and balancing the scalp "ecosystem."
Invati Ultra Advanced™: The ultimate solution for thinning hair and reducing hair loss.
Nutriplenish™: For nutrient-powered hydration tailored to dry hair types.

Why should I buy these in-store rather than online?

The most important reason is exclusivity. You will not find these Special Edition 100ml duos on Aveda’s website or in any other retail stores. This collection is only available at eco Chic AVEDA Salon.

Furthermore, buying in-store at The Bay Centre gives you access to a complimentary hair analysis. Our senior stylists will help you determine if your hair needs the protein-rich strength of Botanical Repair or the omega-complex hydration of Nutriplenish, ensuring you leave with the exact match for your hair’s current needs.

The "Try Before You Commit" Strategy

The 100ml Special Edition is the perfect bridge between curiosity and confidence. It allows you to:

Test the Scent & Texture: Ensure the pure-fume™ aroma and consistency fit your preference.
Verify Results: See the visible difference in shine, strength, and scalp health over 10-15 washes.
Minimize Waste: Avoid owning large bottles of products that aren't a perfect match for your hair’s unique porosity.

If I’m not sure which line is right for me, can I come in and get help choosing between the 100ml options?

Replying to

Absolutely—and that’s actually the best way to experience this collection.

When you visit us at ecoChic, we can do a quick hair and scalp assessment to help you decide between options like Botanical Repair, Nutriplenish, Scalp Solutions, or Invati Ultra Advanced. Since the 100ml size is designed as a smart trial, we want to make sure you’re starting with the right match for your hair’s current condition.

You’re always welcome to stop by The Bay Centre—we’ll guide you through the options and help you find the perfect fit.

I travel quite a bit—are these 100ml bottles okay for carry-on flights, or would I still need to transfer them into smaller containers?

Great question—these are actually perfect for travel.

The 100ml size sits right at the maximum limit allowed for carry-on liquids (CATSA/TSA), so there’s no need to transfer into smaller containers. You get the convenience of travel-size compliance, but with significantly more product than typical mini bottles.

Many of our clients specifically choose this size as their go-to travel set because it maintains their full hair care routine wherever they go.

I usually buy the smaller travel sizes, but they run out so fast. Is the 100ml size actually enough to see real results?

That’s exactly the gap the 100ml size is designed to solve.

Standard travel sizes (40–50ml) often don’t last long enough for you to see how your hair truly responds. The 100ml format gives you multiple weeks of consistent use, which is usually enough to notice improvements in texture, strength, hydration, or scalp balance.

It’s essentially a “try it properly before you commit” approach—so you’re making a confident decision when (or if) you move up to a full-size system.

I haven’t seen these 100ml Aveda sets anywhere else—not even on Aveda’s website. Are these something exclusive to your salon?

You’re absolutely right to notice that—these 100ml duos are not available on Aveda’s official website or in other retail locations. They’re part of a special in-salon offering we’ve curated here at ecoChic AVEDA Salon in The Bay Centre.

We created this size specifically for clients who want professional results without committing to a full-size bottle right away. Because of their limited nature, many clients prefer to visit us in-store to explore the options and secure their preferred line before they sell out.
