Hairstyling students at Inspire Greatness Aveda Institutes also enjoy the benefits of flexible scheduling. While practical learning is integral, portions of our program can be taken online. With the ability to learn virtually, you can work on your education around your busy schedule and finish with the required number of hours on your timeline.

Along with our technical curriculum, students also learn the business side of beauty and client relations. From maintaining a full appointment book to connecting with clients in meaningful ways behind the chair, our hairdressing school provides valuable skills students can take with them for a lifetime. You can work at a salon or own your own business, allowing you to follow your career down many potential paths. Possible careers may include:
