high style. high income. high demand.
The salon industry is about abundance. If you're interested in fashion, you can work on photo shoots, runway shows, movies and more. If you prefer a salon environment, the industry is exploding. The career paths are vast and varied.
The average full-time salon salary across the US is $50,000 per year. The price of a hair cut in an Aveda salon is twice the industry standard. That means you can earn well over the national average.
And the jobs are out there. The number of Aveda salons and spas alone has increased 61% in the last two years. That growing market creates the demand for expertly trained salon professionals. The Aveda network looks to Aveda institutes first.
connect with prospective employers.
The potential for success is unlimited. But education is only the first step. You need industry connections and placement opportunities. Aveda gives you both.

And salon professionals don't wait until you've graduated to become involved. They work directly with you throughout your course of study. Aveda network professionals teach classes. Provide work/study opportunities. And even sponsor study abroad programs with Aveda salons in Europe, Asia and Australia.

"Hiring students from the Aveda Institute makes it easier on me as an owner because I don't have to spend as much time, energy and money retraining them on the Aveda methodology. They come prepared already knowing product knowledge and the Aveda signature spa services."—Marjorie Livingstone, Owner, Aveda Bethesda Salon and Spa
I like to hire students from the Aveda Institue because they are so much more ahead of the game than students from other schools. They are light years ahead in knowledge and cutting technique. They're able to go out and make a difference right away as opposed to training with someone else first. They have a very strong grasp on the Aveda methodology."—Riccardo Santoro, Owner, Varuna SalonSpa
