My time here at the Aveda institute is one I will never forget, especially my teacher, she has had so much patience for me and our class, her knowledge of the beauty industry is vast and extensive, she has shared everything she knows with me. She has made the experience of school top tier and I’m incredibly grateful to have had her as a teacher. I would recommend Miss Alexandria to anyone who is interested in really learning this industry.

My experience at Aveda has been nothing short of incredible. The Esthi instructor has made it just that with her knowledgeable advise & willingness to go above and beyond for her students. She has made my time here at Aveda a awesome experience. Because of what she has taught me I now feel confident to go out into the beauty industry.

My experience here is good ! I’m still in school but I would like to give my phase 2 recognition! She’s hands down one of the best teachers I’ve had . She so carrying and will go the extra mile to make sure we get the experience and practice we need ! There’s been endless times where if we didn’t have anyone to practice on she would find cosmetologists for us to work on ! She made school enjoyable and comfortable. I am very appreciative of her and glad she was able to teach me !
