To answer this question, we went directly to the source by asking Aveda trained professionals and salon owners, Mark-Gerard & Kenneth of Mission AVEDA, located in St. Petersburg, Florida. Their response:
“Aveda salons do not always hire Aveda graduates. It is preferred, but generally salons are willing to train or send the stylist to advanced classes. However, practicing the 12 points of difference is high on our list of prerequisites. Hiring an Aveda graduate gives both the salon owner and the stylist/spa therapist an advantage because they all talk the same language and understand each other from the beginning. When a student makes their way to a salon, they quickly realize how important practicing the 12 Points of difference is and how quickly they can advance their careers. Hiring a stylist/ spa therapist who has not been educated in the Aveda 12 points of difference requires a great amount of re-training and practice to get the stylist/ spa therapist on board.”
So while you don’t need to be an Aveda Institute graduate in order to work in an Aveda salon or spa, you’ll be further in your career should you choose to work with Aveda if your beauty education is rooted in the Aveda fundamentals.

The cost of attending beauty school can vary greatly, ranging from $6,500 to $15,000. Many factors affect this cost, including the location, how prestigious the school is and what kind of specialization it offers. Often, beauty schools located near major metropolitan areas cost more than those located in small, rural communities. The school’s reputation and course load will also affect the cost of a school.
The cost of attending a beauty school is not that much money, considering how much money cosmetologists are capable of earning. Take the Aveda Institute Florida for example, a cosmetology education there can also help open the door to other exciting and rewarding career paths in the fashion and beauty industries such as a Fashion Photo Stylist, Platform Artist, and Salon Manager or Owner, to name just a few.
Additionally, there are financial aid offices that will assist eligible students in finding the correct financial aid plan, filing all the paperwork and providing guidance on money management.

We hear that question often, and to be honest, there are many differences between the two.
Barbering is the study of hair and its many types and configurations based on ethnicity, texture, volume and performance. Cosmetology is the study and application of beauty treatments, including hairstyling, skin care, cosmetics, manicures/pedicures and electrology.
Barber school
The emphasis of a barber school’s education is to teach the essentials of providing hair and skin services for men. They often learn to perform razor styling, hair cutting and coloring, blow drying, foam shaves, steam facials, and facial massages.
Beauty school
The emphasis of a beauty school’s education is to teach the art of cosmetology. Students often learn hair styling, hair cutting and coloring, skin care, makeup application, hair relaxing and restructuring, nail care, anatomy and physiology, and much more.
At the Aveda Institutes’ beauty schools , students are taught the unique Aveda philosophy of learning that education is about more than learning technical skills – it is about growing as an individual. Aveda Institutes help their students to not only master their craft, but also to realize their full potential and to be their best as an artist and a professional.
