our philosophy

Inspire

Verb

  1. Fill (someone) with the urge or ability to do or feel something esp. to do something creative: “his enthusiasm inspired them”.
  2. Create (a feeling, esp. a positive one) in a person: “inspire confidence”.

Greatness

Noun
The quality of being great, distinguished, or eminent.

Each and everyday in the beauty world, we have the ability to make a difference and INSPIRE GREATNESS. The true enjoyment of inspiring greatness is the ability to empower everyone you encounter with inspiration to be great, while inspiring yourself with greatness. We will INSPIRE GREATNESS by building confidence in our Future Professionals, Team, Network, and Ourselves.

We all have the ability to be better than yesterday. Believe in your dreams and they will come alive in yourself and inspire others. Each and everyone of us has the ability to change the world by starting here. I leave you with this question “What is the purpose of our lives?” — SERVE and INSPIRE GREATNESS

Absolutely obsessed with this blonde fro hawk by @avedainstitute.denver student @s_h_h_beauty 🥰 here’s how they did it: mids and ends were already lightened to about a 5 - applied a new growth application with 20 Volume and Cream Booster. Let that process while Shannon went back through and did medium density highlights with a medium weave all through out the mids and ends so everything would blend nice but still have dimension. The highlights were also done with 20 volume and cream booster. 👏🏼 • • • #aveda #avedartist #avedaartist #avedahair #tucson #arizona #phoenix #denver #provo #instabeauty #inspireaveda #avedasalon #avedapunks #behindthechair #modernsalon #americansalon #bangstyle #hairnerd #hairbrained #tutorial #howto #hairtutorial #avedablonde #texture #texturedhair #blondehair
