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 & Sciences Institutes is well-known for its green facilities and organic ingredients, and its location near Nashville offers cosmetology and esthiology classes starting each summer. A student reviewer on Indeed says, "I loved everything about this school. I learned so much in such a short amount of time. I would definitely recommend this school to anyone who is serious about the beauty industry."

Aveda personalizes the cosmetology and esthiology programs to suit your needs. In the cosmetology program, you'll learn in a classroom and salon or spa setting under supervision.

The esthiology program prepares you to become a skin care specialist well-versed in wellness rituals. The course focuses on facials, makeup application, waxing, wellness knowledge, and business development.

All cosmetology students receive an iPad to complete coursework, and the school spotlights students from their Nashville location on their blog every month.
