Had my hair done by Micah and she is AMAZING! She was able to give me the exact hair cut and color of my dreams! Her personality was warm, sweet and professional. 10/10 recommend! If you are looking to get your hair done here prior to Dec 2024 (that is when she graduates) I highly recommend her services!!

I had an awesome experience here getting a facial first (with Brianna W) and then my hair cut and colored (by Lexi F). These girls are amazing! They have an incredible future ahead of them in the industry. Even though this is a school, the service they provided was top notch! Also wanted to give a shout out to Anna who cuts and colors hair. While having my hair done I got to watch her transform another beautiful woman into a queen! I LOVE my hair cut and the color! It's gorgeous and exactly what I asked for! Also my skin feels great. Stop in and visit these wonderful ladies before they graduate and move on! Thank you ladies! I will be seeing you soon! Sincerely, The Very Tired and Worn Out Nurse

Went in for services first time three weeks ago, with a somewhat difficult desired outcome color wise . Anna (student) and Brent (instructor) worked so long and hard to get my hair right. They were amazing! Came back today for an update to that service, amazing attitudes, time taken and client service from Abbie C. (Student) and Grace (instructor) along with Brent (instructor) being so helpful and cheerful! All in all I would recommend Aveda Institute Nashville and am so pleased with my experience and the pleasant atmosphere and client service!

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.
