How old do I need to be for beauty school?

November 24th, 2009

The Magic Number is…

Sweet sixteen! It is required that students are above compulsory school age, which is 16, to attend the Aveda Institute Florida.  Additionally, students must have earned either a high school diploma or GED prior to acceptance into the Aveda Institute’s educational programs.  However, attending beauty school is about more than just your age, it is about your ability to further your education in preparation for life…your life! 

At the Aveda Institutes Florida, we value the importance of all education and we believe it is through education that:

• knowledge is received and shared
• our minds are opened to new ideas and 
• we are prepared for wise leadership and personal development.

So…if you’re 16, have your diploma/GED, you’re good to go!! 

Contact the Aveda Institute Florida  admissions team to learn more about the process of acceptance.

And the Winner Is…

Aveda Graduate Inspires One Footprint at a Time…

November 13th, 2009

 The endless opportunities available to an AVEDA Institute graduate are commonly taken for granted.  Yet, some of our graduates have taken their education, talent, and desire to excel, to the next level by teaching and promoting the Aveda experience throughout the beauty and product network.

Cresent Davis, a 2008 Aveda Institute Tallahassee graduate, has taken her remarkable talent and interest in the beauty industry to that level…

While a student, Cresent entered into the Edwin Neill Full Potential Competition where her passion for makeup was ignited.  Her introduction to the variety of palettes made its mark on her and changed the course of her career.  From that point forward, she was determined to take Aveda makeup to an entirely different spectrum of the beauty industry while educating people on the countless impressions and final touches that could be achieved with Aveda’s all-natural makeup.

She began doing freelance work as a makeup artist in the local Tallahassee area, from weddings, to proms, to local salon events and large-scale charity balls.  She even worked closely with the FSU Film School.  This exposure led to a position as a makeup artist for the FSU thesis film, Drift. Her debut was created entirely with the use of Aveda makeup.  Cresent’s talent led to a position as Makeup Director for six more contracted films and the honor of being published in Tallahassee magazine.

Her goal of becoming an Aveda Global Makeup Professional is well under way and her desire to teach and educate Aveda students and professionals on Aveda makeup is sure to take her to the top!          

Congratulations Cresent – you are a true inspiration!
