I went to Aveda for a skin facial. It was my first ever experience and it was amazing! The esthetician, Leslie Jackson, made me feel welcomed. She greeted me at the door and introduced herself. Before the session, she gave me a consultation. I shared with her my medical condition and she explained the procedure and made sure I was comfortable with the products. Spa music was played which made the process more enjoyable. She even took the time to explain the products being applied to my skin. I also received a neck and arms massage. As a man, I didn’t realize how much my skin needed to be purged. It was like hitting the reset button on my face! It was relaxing, refreshing, and surprisingly necessary. Clean pores, smoother skin, and a quiet confidence I didn’t expect. Definitely not just a “woman’s thing”. Thank you Aveda. Thank you Leslie Jackson.

You’ve been saying “but your back” all summer but think about it, are you really taking care of YOUR back? If not they got you over at Aveda Arts & Sciences Institute Arlington. A long time friend of mine is a current student there and treated me to my first massage. The design and atmosphere of the location was well lit and professionally set up. The stylists greeted guest and were courteous to one another. The services I received included a waxing and massage. My friend, Diamond, did a wonderful job! She was professional and knowledgeable. She explained the process and considered my nervousness being that this was my first experience with either treatment. I won’t go on forever but it was a pleasure watching her interact with her classmates, other stylists with knowledge and care brought me so much admiration. Back to my back, I got this sciatic nerve that hated me before she put her hands on me. When I say she laid hands on me she did that! Ask for Diamond.

I have been coming to Aveda for years for my hair and have zero complaints. The students are so professional, the teachers make sure they’re empowered and do the best job. I love Aveda products so it’s a win-win. It’s a great choice for hair color and cuts and their spa services are fabulous too! I love supporting students on their career journey while getting top quality service at an affordable price.

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

Aveda Arts and Sciences Institutes focuses on a holistic approach to beauty. The fast-paced cosmetology program combines classroom theory with hands-on practice in salon and spa environments. The program covers everything from cutting and coloring to nail care and makeup application.

The esthiology program focuses on using skin care rituals and Aveda-trademarked flower and plant essences. In addition, students train in facials, waxing, makeup application, business development, and wellness knowledge for retail purposes.

Alumnus Hans says, "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."

Aveda helps with job placement after graduation through their wide-ranging network of high-end salons and spas nationwide, and they even spotlight rockstars on their website.
