The students were so sweet. They followed instructions and making sure they were doing it right. But again remember the lower price you pay is still being done by students! I would say be nice and patient but if you want great result just go somewhere else professional. For me it was just okay

Positive: Supporting students to get hands-on experience. Definitely a big reason I return to Aveda! You have to be flexible and not picky. I always encourage students to lean into what they need to work on. Remember, ther s always an instructor nearby to guide and correct, if needed. Prices are affordable. Negative: It does take time! I'd recommend allocating 2-3hrs to allow for the wash, cut, and blow dry. I plan on setting up an appointment soon! Almost always I walk away just as satisfied as I would going to a salon with professional stylists. Thank you Aveda!

What They Say About Us

"My favorite part about the AVEDA Institute is the level of growth I have experienced. This process began from day one with the specialized, individual attention I received from my educators. This attention has continued and I feel very comfortable being able to express myself in ways I didn't think possible. Now I'm very outgoing and have the confidence to perform all techniques I've learned. So far this career is a really great journey and I enjoy being challenged at the AVEDA Institute, which has truly encouraged me to be the best "me" I can be."
