Hairstyling Program Overview

A professional stylist offers chemical hair treatments, styling, and color services in addition to shampoos and haircuts. They work with both male and female clients, providing services that help their customers look and feel their best. Stylists have the opportunity to express their artistry and creativity each day at work.

At Inspire Greatness Aveda Institutes, students in the hairstylist program receive 1,000 hours of training. With a mix of classroom lectures, group study, one-on-one support, and hands-on training, this program combines theory and practice to prepare students for entry-level roles in the beauty industry.

Students can opt for daytime or evening classes, depending on what works best for their schedule. Multiple program start dates are offered throughout the academic year. This program can be completed in less than one calendar year.
