Meet Our Latest Scholarship Winners

May 24th, 2010

Each year the Aveda Institutes Florida awards a scholarship to one lucky contestant, per institute, who exhibits exceptional skills in the field of cosmetology.  The scholarship entails a one year, fully paid, tuition to attend either of our four beauty schools in Florida.  This year, our contestants competed at the Aveda Institute Orlando in a true fashion show-style competition, runway and all.  They transformed a model and were judged on not only their creativity, but their exceptional execution and technique.   A special “thanks” goes out to our judges, Carl Dunn – CEO Pagentry Magazine; Aixa Diaz – News Anchor WESH Ch. 4; Megan Clementi – Miss Florida USA 2010 and Josh Perez – Production Manager Full Sail University. 

Winners were:  Amy Starks, Aveda Institute Orlando; Jordan Ortega, Aveda Institute South Florida; Arielle Lavasseur, Aveda Institute St. Petersburg and Orphelia Patterson, Aveda Institute Tallahassee.

And They Call Us a Beauty School

May 22nd, 2010

While we are proud of our title as a Beauty School, or Cosmetology School, whichever you prefer,  we really are so much more than just another Beauty School in Florida.  Our schools continue to participate in the Matter of Trust program in which hair is turned into mats and booms used for absorbing oil.  Yes, that would include the massive oil spill that is polluting our beautiful Gulf of Mexico and will inevitably stain the Florida shoreline.  To date, Aveda Institute St. Petersburg has sent seven boxes of hair to the organization and three from Aveda Institute Orlando.  Aveda Institute Tallahassee has two boxes packed and ready for shipping and Aveda Institute South Florida has two 50-gallon trash bags collected to date…that’s a lot of hair!! Thank you to our wonderful team, and guests, for supporting these efforts and the world we live in!
