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!
Who would have ever thought a beauty school, and a simple haircut, could help with an oil spill? Certainly not us, but it’s a fact! In light of the recent Gulf Oil Spill, Aveda Institutes Florida, consisting of four cosmetology schools in Florida, is collecting the hair from client haircuts, and donating it to the wonderful organization, Matter of Trust. Matter of Trust uses the donated hair to make hair mats and hair booms to absorb oil. As the oil from the Gulf threatens our shorelines, these mats/booms will assist with the daunting effort to clean up the oil.
When you sign up to get an education in cosmetology at Aveda Institutes you’re getting much more then just an average beauty school education. We prepare you to be able to work in high fashion and editorial scenarios.
