How to Find an Aveda Institute Campus Near You

Updated

Use the FIND LOCATIONS tool on aveda.edu to search for an Aveda Institute campus by location. Once you find a school near you, you can contact it directly to book a campus tour or request more information. This works whether you want to stay close to home or are considering a move to a new city for school.

Step-by-Step: Finding a Campus

  1. Go to aveda.edu. The site's main navigation includes a FIND LOCATIONS link, which appears in the header and is repeated throughout the page.
  2. Open FIND LOCATIONS. This is the site's dedicated tool for locating Aveda Institutes by geography.
  3. Search by your location. The site frames the choice as: "Close to home or new adventure?" — so you can search for campuses near your current city or explore schools in another area you're considering.
  4. Review the campus results. Each location represents an Aveda Institute you can contact for details.
  5. Contact the school to book a tour. The site states: "Connect with a school near you to book a tour or learn more." You can also use Request Info or Guest Services (both linked in the site navigation) to get admissions information.

Expected result: You'll have a specific campus (or a shortlist) and a clear next step — booking a tour or submitting a request for information.

What to Consider When Choosing a Campus

Factor What the site supports
Proximity Search near your current location if you want to stay close to home
Relocation The site explicitly frames campus choice as "close to home or new adventure," so moving for school is an anticipated option
Program availability Aveda Institutes offer Cosmetology, Esthiology/Skin Care, and Massage Therapy — confirm your program of interest is offered at the specific campus you're considering

Programs to Ask About When You Contact a Campus

Before booking a tour, it helps to know which path you're interested in, since not every campus may offer every program:

  • Cosmetology — hands-on training in hair cutting, color, texture, makeup application, and nail care, plus business development and ergonomic body positioning. Delivered through an online-based training curriculum combined with hands-on learning with real clients.
  • Esthiology / Skin Care — combines Ayurvedic knowledge with modern science for a holistic mind-body approach to skin care. Covers anatomy, physiology, chemistry, aromaology, facial massage, and business skills.
  • Massage Therapy — listed as a career path on the site.

Common Questions

Can I tour a campus before enrolling? Yes — the site directs prospective students to connect with a school near them to book a tour or learn more.

What if there's no campus near me? The site's framing of "close to home or new adventure" suggests relocating to attend a campus in another city is a normal path. Use FIND LOCATIONS to see what's available in areas you'd consider moving to.

Where do I go for admissions questions? Use Request Info or Guest Services, both available in the site navigation.

What can I expect after graduating? The site highlights that Aveda grads are nominated for NAHA (North American Hairstyling Awards) year after year, and points to an Alumni Hall of Fame featuring graduates working as editorial stylists, salon owners, and brand founders.
