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.
Be sure to stop by either one of these cosmetology schools to witness their talent first hand.

Prior to graduation, our Masters Students participate in what we call the “Final Photo Shoot.” They are responsible for providing/recruiting their own models and recreating their look. Take a peek, see how far they’ve come and keep an eye out for them in a salon near you.
The November issue of Real Simple, within their Beauty Guide, ranked our very own Smooth Infusion Shampoo as the Best Natural Shampoo, stating that it tames flyaways with babassu oil, aloe and guar bean. Daily cleansing smooths and softens hair up to 60%. Congratulations Smooth Infusion!!
Our team participated in creating the looks for Erin Wasson – you can actually feel the energy! These fabulous hairstyles were created using a combination of Aveda Products such as Volumizing Tonic, Pure Abundance Hair Potion and Pure Abundance Hairspray.
