This week, we welcomed new students to Aveda Institute Tallahassee as they embark on their journey in the beauty industry. Their first week of class was spent learning about Aveda Culture and wellness at our orientation program called Camp Aveda.

Check out some of the pictures below and read about what inspired some of our future Aveda graduates to take the leap towards a more beautiful future.

“Finding a cosmetology school that fit for me was a long and difficult process, but when it came down to it, nothing stood out to me like Aveda.  You can walk into the building and automatically feel the joy in the atmosphere, and I automatically knew that it was where I’m supposed to be.”

– Mary Hill

“My children and best friend inspired me to take the next step into cosmetology but actually choosing Aveda was determined because of what they represent.  Aveda not only sees beauty in an individual but encourages it in multiple ways through the environment and the world.”

– Amber Thomas

“I have wonderful friends who have graduated from Aveda Institute and they told me so many great things about the school.  I also saw how beautifully they apply their make-up or style their hair which shows their talent gained from attending the Aveda Institute.  I have been using Aveda products for a long time, and I want to start my new career using products I respect and enjoy.”
