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.

Aveda Institute St. Petersburg is honored to have been a part of the Flashes of Hope event that recently took place at All Children’s Hospital. Flashes of Hope is a non-profit organization that changes the way children with cancer see themselves through the gift of photography and raises money for pediatric cancer research. A select-few cosmetology students, and educators, assisted with the photo shoot, providing hair styles and makeup to family members and patients. We are grateful and privileged to be a part of such a moving experience. Included are some of the photos from the event.

TREAT YOURSELF St. Petersburg Times; Jun 5, 2009

avedatsp — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 14:37:37 +0000

The spa and facial services performed by our students at the Aveda Institute St. Petersburg recently drew rave reviews in the St. Petersburg Times.

Here’s what they had to say:

St. Petersburg
Aveda Institute

The Aveda Institute in downtown St. Petersburg offers massages and facials at costs lower than most salons and spas. What’s the catch? They’re performed by students. But don’t let that scare you away. They’re supervised by Aveda instructors, and frankly, I’ve had better massages here than in some “real” spas. The 90-minute full body and scalp massage for $65 worked out the kinks in my neck and shoulders from prolonged computer use and stress. If you’re looking for relaxation, Chakra Balancing Massage ($50) is the way to go. Part deep tissue massage, part foot reflexology and part aromatherapy with Aveda’s Chakra fragrances, the session lasts an hour. The Elemental Nature Facial includes an arm-and-hand massage. The one-hour session left my skin soft and invigorated. Series of four hourlong sessions are available ($160-$180).
