About the Industry

In addition to being high-fashion and creative, the salon industry offers one of the fastest-growing career opportunities today. The demand for talented professionals is at its highest.

Why a Cosmetology Career?

  • It’s Fashion Forward.

    Stylists work on photo shoots, runway shows, movies and much more. AVEDA Rocks the Runway during Fashion Week in London, New York and Paris— doing hair and makeup for some of the world's hottest designers.
  • It Pays.

    Full-time salon professionals average up to $42,000 a year, while salon owners average up to $100,000 or more.
  • It’s in Demand.

    New hires for salons are up nationally by 37%, and 80% of AVEDA salons are looking to grow their business. Over 100 salons visit our Institutes for our career fairs throughout the year. Any student who seeks work in an AVEDA salon can find a salon looking for them.
  • It’s Exhilarating.

    Salons are some of the most stimulating, high-energy, creative places to work – you may not even consider it work! But even in this fun atmosphere, you’ll never stop learning.
  • It’s the Perfect Fit.

    There is a salon out there for everyone. Whether it’s a fast-paced multi-location chain or a 3-chair boutique, you can definitely find a salon that’s the perfect match for you.
  • It’s Flexible.

    Whether you’re looking for a full or part-time job, salons offer both.
