Our Programs

Each of our four programs at Aveda Institute Provo combines technical training with real client experience and business skills, including:

Cosmetology

Our Cosmetology program covers 1,250 hours of training in hair, skin, makeup, waxing, and nails. You build a complete skill set and the professional foundation to develop lasting client relationships. This program prepares you for the Utah state licensing exam and the full range of services clients expect from a working cosmetologist.

Master Hair Design

The Master Hair Design program provides 1,000 hours of focused training for students who want to specialize in hair. The program’s courses emphasize current cutting and coloring techniques, scalp revitalization, deep conditioning treatments, and modern styling. You leave with the precision and versatility to work confidently with a wide range of services and guests.

Master Esthiology

Master Esthiology is a 1,200-hour program available exclusively at our Provo campus. It covers advanced skin care and nail techniques enhanced with medical modalities. It goes beyond what a standard esthetician training program covers. If you want a deeper, more specialized path in skin health and aesthetic wellness and the credentials to reflect that, this is the right choice for you.

Massage Therapy

Our 600-hour Massage Therapy program provides a balanced study of anatomy, physiology, pathology, spa treatments, and body movement techniques. It’s for students who want to work in wellness settings and create meaningful results for clients through skilled, intentional touch. You graduate prepared for Utah licensure and ready to practice professionally.
