Extraordinary Industry Experiences

One of the benefits of studying with Inspire Greatness Aveda Institutes is the knowledge and experience students gain with Aveda products. This premium brand is known around the globe and is prized for its dedication to environmental stewardship and sustainable practices. As the desire for plant-based products and treatments grows, wellness centers, salons, and spas are more likely to seek out skin care professionals that are trained in the use of the Aveda brand.

Our esthetician school also arranges master series demonstrations so that students can witness the creativity and finesse practiced by industry professionals. These and additional skill-building workshops offered on campus provide opportunities for networking with professionals from both inside and outside the Phoenix area. Students can also attend regular career fairs to meet and interact with employers and receive advice from professionals in the field.

Another unique way to network is found in our study abroad program. This allows students to travel and learn about different beauty practices in different cultures. Our beauty and esthiology students also are given the opportunity to work backstage at runways for New York and London Fashion Weeks. This experience can be a great introduction to the fast-paced fashion industry, as can being chosen to assist Aveda brand professionals at North American Hairstyling Awards. Winning at the NAHA is often compared to the Oscar competitions that choose the best movies each year.
