What You Can Learn in Our Cosmetology Program

We’ve designed our curriculum to exceed the board requirements while preparing our students to sit for the state exam. We want to give you opportunities to develop the skills you need to succeed behind the chair.

With our unique training program, you’ll be able to access the digital curriculum while also getting experience in the salon and spa, working with real clients under the supervision of supportive instructors. You can use Aveda products and professional tools to help clients realize their beauty, inside and out.

The Aveda Cosmetology Curriculum

Our innovative 1600-hour cosmetology program was one of the first in the country to introduce learning on tablets. The Learn Aveda digital platform allows you to access the cosmetology curriculum on an iPad day and night, so you can study at times convenient for your busy schedule. You can then hone your craft on our busy clinic floor, where more than a thousand services are booked monthly with our students. You can grow in confidence and skill alongside expert educators who assist you each step of the way.

The Masterpiece Program, a copyrighted part of our curriculum, was developed exclusively for the Aveda Institute Las Vegas. We take an artistic approach to learning using five core elements:

Art
Customer service
Community connection
Technique
Fashion sense

This curriculum is designed to help you understand the best techniques for addressing your clients’ overall wellness, surpassing the basics of beauty.

At Aveda Institute Las Vegas, you can explore all aspects of the beauty industry while using world-class, sustainable products that are plant-infused, cruelty-free, and vegan-friendly. Not only do we care about your education, but you’ll see how philanthropy is at the heart of who we are.
