When I first came to Aveda, I did not know a lot about the Institute and what sets it apart from other cosmetology schools; however, as I spent time learning more and more about the company, its mission, products, and how it teaches, I realized there was a large difference that sets it apart from other programs. While Aveda does an excellent job teaching you the technical skills to become a great cosmetologist, they go much further in their approach to developing you as a professional.

The first point of distinction between Aveda and other programs can best be described by Aveda’s dedication to its mission, “…to care for the world we live in, from the products we make, to the ways we give back to society”. At Aveda, we strive to set an example for environmental leadership and responsibility, not just in the world of beauty, but around the “world”. This statement is not just words. It is something you will see put into action on a daily basis at Aveda. Whether it is working on events like hosting fashion shows to help raise money for worthwhile causes like breast cancer awareness, the preservation of nature, improving the quality of life for less fortunate people in other countries, or through its approach to developing products in an environmentally sustainable way, Aveda is very dedicated to its mission and does a lot of things to help the world to become a better place. In addition, as part of the program, you are taught to affirm the relation ship between personal beauty, wellness and the environment on a daily basis. This can be seen not only in the activities you will be a part of when you attend Aveda, but you’ll experience it every day: from the natural and organic components they use in their products to the types of services you’ll be taught to provide your clients.

Another differentiator between the Aveda Institute and other programs, is what you are taught about guest service. Aveda guests experience the “12 points of difference” that really makes their visit to our salons a great experience. Whether it is in the details of the things we do like offering them our organic comforting tea, the stress-relieving ritual that helps them to relax, our approach to really understanding what our clients are trying to accomplish by their visit, or teaching our guests how to complete their look and what products should they use to duplicate their look at home. Clients who come to Aveda usually stay with the company for a long time, because of the great experience they know they can get by people who are trained by Aveda.

As an Aveda Institute student, I received the benefits of attending the best cosmetology school. Aveda brings you opportunities for personal and professional growth. Upon completion of the program, our students are trained and prepared to go directly to work with skills that are high above the national average.
