Accessibility statement
Aveda Institute Maryland wants everyone to be able to learn about our programs, book salon and spa services and get in touch with us. We work to make this website usable for people with disabilities, including people who use screen readers, keyboard navigation, magnification or voice control.
Our standard
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. This website was reviewed for accessibility in November 2026 using automated testing on every page and manual checks of keyboard use, focus, color contrast, forms, text resizing and mobile layouts.
What we have done
- Text and controls meet WCAG color contrast requirements.
- Every page can be used with a keyboard, with a visible focus outline and a link to skip to the main content.
- Images have text descriptions, and decorative images are hidden from screen readers.
- Form fields have labels, required fields are marked and errors are explained in text.
- Pages work when zoomed to 200% and on small phone screens without sideways scrolling.
- Animations are reduced for visitors who turn on reduced motion on their device.
- Our school catalog PDF is tagged for screen readers.
Known limitations
Some older blog posts include videos hosted by third parties on YouTube. We do not control these videos, so their captions may be incomplete. If you need a description or transcript of a video, or another format of anything on this site, please contact us and we will provide it.
