New Classes for Aveda Education

Whether you’re attending an Aveda Institute, new to the beauty business or an experienced veteran, you’re always still learning.

That’s why the institutes offer advanced education classes – because everyone is a student, no matter how experienced.

The calendar was just released for Fall 2009, with registration starting June 1 at 10 a.m. EST. The first class starts June 20.

These classes are for salon professionals who want to improve the skills they’re already putting to use or expand their skill set into new areas. Aveda Salons can even redeem their Concept Benefit Points to send employees to classes.

Some of these classes were available in the first half of the year, for those that missed them the first time. Most, though, are sparkling brand new. As always, the instructors are prestigious and the classes sound awesome.

For you hair color people, one of the huge classes this season will be Colour Magic at Aveda Institute Orlando featuring Aveda Concept Salon owner Lupe Voss. This two-day class (August 30-31) is from the acclaimed folks at redCHOCOLATE (redCHOC.com) and will teach some of the amazing things being done with color mixing. If you want to learn how to make your hair color services richer, more vibrant and longer-lasting, this one is a can’t-miss.

If you’re more of the spa/relaxation type, the Foot Reflexology class by Marc Zollicoffer might be more your speed. This two-day massage class (June 21-22) at the Orlando Institute will teach over 30 pressure points and their connection to different aspects of the human body. It will also show you how to customize a foot massage, so that customers will only go one place to get it – your salon/spa.

Of course, there are tons of other classes, so check out the schedule and sign up for the ones you like best. And make it snappy, because they fill up quickly.
