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.
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.
Sweet sixteen! It is required that students are above compulsory school age, which is 16, to attend the Aveda Institute Florida. Additionally, students must have earned either a high school diploma or GED prior to acceptance into the Aveda Institute’s educational programs.

At the Aveda Institutes Florida, we value the importance of all education and we believe it is through education that:
knowledge is received and shared
our minds are opened to new ideas and
we are prepared for wise leadership and personal development.
So…if you’re 16, have your diploma/GED, you’re good to go!!
