I love Aveda schools but this one seems to be struggling with staffing issues. There never seems to be enough instructors for all of the students so they can’t be as attentive as I’ve seen at other locations. That being said, the price is right and there’s always deals !

I have been receiving services from the Aveda institute for many years, now. the students never disappoint. every time I leave I am completely satisfied and feel renewed. when my daughter is in town, I schedule her facials and she absolutely loves them and looks forward to her next visit. I also recommend friends and family to come and enjoy the great services for both hair and facial services.

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."

Editor's Description

At the Aveda Arts & Sciences Institute New York, students can learn from exceptional instructors who are passionate about beauty and become part of a prestigious global network of schools committed to artistic, business, and environmental excellence. Their cosmetology program combines theory with extensive hands-on experience to provide a complete understanding of beauty and wellness. In addition, an esthiology program prepares students for careers in skincare, too.

Aveda alumni give high praise to the school, as seen in this testimonial from former student Hans: "When I chose AVEDA it was because of the mission, the dedication to the environment and beauty through technique and natural products. Everything I've put into this program was given back to me tenfold. When I started, I had no idea how to even blow dry hair. Now I'm an accomplished student with a set of skills for a bright career."
