I had a great experience having my hair cut at Aveda! My hairdresser (I think their name was Karma) really listened to what I wanted, and as someone who has been discouraged by past hairdressers to get the styles I like, this made me feel heard & trusted. I have straight + thin hair, and got a really cute layered shag-like cut, which is exactly what I was going for. Can definitely recommend if you're looking for hairdressers open to giving you trendy gen-z hairstyles haha

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."
