Why Aveda Institutes?

Just Another Beauty School? Hardly.


Not only is our cosmetology training program rigorous and thorough, providing excellent in-depth education that few schools offer, we also believe in contributing to the well-being of our planet. Here are just a few things that make us (and our students) a step ahead of the rest:



  • Pure Professionalism
  • Pure Fashion
  • Pure Success
  • Pure Contribution


  • Pure Professionalism.


    • Ready to Style.
      With technical training and extensive hands-on experience, you’ll be ready for ‘real life’ salon experience. Our Aveda Institutes beauty schools function exactly like AVEDA salons—and with your experience behind the chair, you’ll be ready for anything once you get out in the real world.

    • Passionate, Experienced Educators.
      Aside from bringing real-world knowledge to their teaching of core cosmetology fundamentals and advanced techniques, our beauty school educators also provide our students with valuable customer service and business skills that help build a strong professional foundation.

    • Attention You Deserve.
      At the Aveda Institutes, you’re not just another name on a roster. Our cosmetology educators will not only know your name, they’ll know your likes and talents. Our student/teacher ratio is 16 to 1 to ensure that all our students get attention that meets their individual needs.

    Pure Fashion


    • Each year, AVEDA Rocks the Runway during Fashion Week in New York, Paris and London providing hair and makeup and sharing their expertise with some of fashion’s hottest upcoming and established designers.

      AVEDA also keeps its stylists inspired throughout their career with events such as Aveda Congress and Master Jam.

    Pure Success


    • With AVEDA, the possibilities are endless. AVEDA professionals are some of the best in the industry, and the statistics show it.


    • Earn More.
      Aveda Stylists earn 3x more, on average. Because AVEDA salons are more profitable, owners can offer more benefits, such as:

      • 401K Investment Plans
      • Heath Insurance
      • Advanced Educational Opportunities
      • And More...

    • Cream of the Crop.
      Over half of Salon Today Magazine’s “Top 200 Fastest Growing Salons in America” were AVEDA Salons.

    • They Try It, They Buy It.
      54% of people who try AVEDA buy AVEDA, making AVEDA products the highest “try-to-buy” ratio in the salon industry. Great news for stylists and salon owners—retail commission can really beef up your paycheck.

    Pure Contribution


    • At AVEDA, we don’t just believe in protecting the planet – we set the example.
      Our environmental efforts include:
    • Pioneering environmental business practices since 1978
    • Recycled packaging
    • Utilizing organic ingredients
    • Sourcing ingredients in a sustainable manner that supports the planet and indigenous communities around the world
    • Raising over $8 million last year during earth month for global and local causes
    • Manufacturing with 100% wind power
