We are excited and proud to announce that the Aveda Institute South Florida has just been awarded THREE Globes from the Green Globes Building Institute for our commitment to environmental practices and energy management.
This certification positions the Aveda Institute South Florida as the first Green Globe-certified commercial building in Florida—and secures our claim of being the greenest beauty school in the world.
Green Globes is a revolutionary building environmental assessment and management tool that measures not only the environmental components of our building—such as solar panels, rainwater harvesting and indigenous landscaping plan—but which also evaluates the long-term effects of these components and the resulting decline in energy use. Green Globes also conducts a lifecycle assessment and evaluates the management programs that we have put in place to continually measure and improve our energy output. In short, this means that over the years, we will continue to reduce our environmental impact.
Thanks to all partners involved in creating the building, and to the South Florida team for their commitment to managing this process. For more information about Green Globes, visit http://www.greenglobes.com.
A beauty school education with Aveda Institutes of Florida also allows for hands on experience during some major productions. This allows for top level education and great material for portfolios.
During this behind the scenes clip, students and educators from the Aveda Institute South Florida worked on the hair styles for the official Miami Dolphins cheerleaders during a major photo shoot.
As part of our cosmetology curriculum, all students are trained in the art of performing manicure and pedicure services. To enhance each guest’s experience, the four Florida cosmetology schools are offering a great perk. Guests will receive a FREE bottle of OPI Nail Polish with any manicure or pedicure service!
Here’s how it works: choose an OPI nail color, use it at time of service, and the bottle goes home with you. Call 877-283-3235 to book your appointment and for additional details.
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.

An education with Aveda Institutes not only gives you the tools to be successful we also lend you contacts to begin your career right away. Here is a quick video from one of the career fairs held at the Aveda Institute in South Florida. Students were treated to presentations from several salon owners who shared information about their business. After, students were able to talk to whichever salons that interested them on a one on one basis.
