Cosmetology

Our 1,500-hour Cosmetology program provides comprehensive training across multiple beauty disciplines, including haircutting and styling, hair coloring and texture services, nail care fundamentals, skin care basics, guest consultations, and retail and professional development.

Hands-on practice helps students develop confidence and technical proficiency throughout the program.

Esthiology

If you’re interested in skin care or becoming an esthetician, our Esthiology program might be right for you. This 600-hour program trains you in modern skin care techniques using Aveda’s plant-based and botanical formulations. You’ll be taught everything from facial massage and facials to skin detoxification treatments, client relations, and business skills.

Why Train at Aveda Institute Phoenix?

At Aveda Institutes, students learn by doing. That’s the same philosophy Inspire Greatness Aveda Institutes employs at all our campuses, including Phoenix. We pair classroom instruction with real experience that helps reinforce skills. Students will work with guests at our on-campus salon. This supervised environment allows students to apply what they’re learning, while developing critical business and communication skills.

Our students train with Aveda’s products and techniques used in professional salon and spa settings. This exposure helps students become familiar with industry standards and expectations while gaining experience with services and products they may encounter throughout their careers. Not only will you gain the technical skills you need to pursue licensure, but you’ll also learn business skills, client communication, retail knowledge, and personal branding.
