If you are currently looking for a beauty school and hoping to find the right program for you, then read on to learn how our programs are different from other schools. 

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?

So what do we mean when we say the ‘Aveda Experience?’ What we mean is that we offer a series of elements that makes us stand out from other beauty schools. We teach more than the basics and get you in contact with the right connections. We care about your success, so our curriculum is set up to help you feel more confident in your education. 

1. BALANCED EDUCATION OF WELLNESS AND STATE OF THE ART TECHNIQUE

Yes, we teach you the basics and everything you need for a strong foundation in beauty education, but our programs are created to go much deeper than that. Another important part of that foundation is being able to grow not only as a stylist, but as a well-balanced professional. We teach you problem solving skills, stress & relaxation, proper posture (along with technique), and more. We’re a beauty school who not only strives to teach you the skills you need to be successful, but ultimately, we care about your health and well-being 

Here at Aveda, we have an online educational resource that both teachers and students use. We do not limit your knowledge, we expand on it. Even after graduation, students have full access to these materials. We build life-long relationships, and we definitely want to stay in touch beyond graduation.

For us, wellness is not just about what you learn, but also the insertion of positive, motivational role models you meet along the way. This is why we offer students unlimited access to our Aveda Network and future opportunities with our partners. 

2. ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS AND NATURAL/HOLISTIC APPROACHES

Let’s give back and set a standard of care that not only your clients can appreciate, but that you can appreciate as well. Not only do we focus on how our holistic approaches are beneficial for clients, but how they are extremely beneficial to you too!

Stylists and artists have to interact with products on a daily basis. Your hands and skin are experiencing what the clients experience. We use environmentally safe and naturally-derived ingredients, such as oils and herbal elements.They are gentle on the hair and skin. Not only can your client feel revitalized, but so can you. Once you finish performing a massaging Stress-Relief Hand Ritual on a client, those essential oils can provide a calm and relaxing energy for you as well. That’s free aroma therapy and hand moisturizing, if you ask us. 

Above all, we strive to teach you the product knowledge you need to effectively recommend helpful products to your clients.This gives you an insight into what a natural and holistic product actually looks like compared to others. We can teach you marketing techniques that are not intrusive but, instead, help you better approach a client’s needs. So technically, Aveda can offer you the full package: Aveda product knowledge, marketing, superb customer service skills, and practical experience with clients. All services are provided by students under the supervision of licensed professionals.

3. A VARIETY OF SKILLS AND EXPERIENCES

Before we go any further, we want you to know that we offer structured updated courses and a curriculum that stays on top of trends. For a quick look at various programs, check out Cosmetology, Esthetics/Makeup, Blow Dry Stylist, and Massage Therapy programs. Just so you know the specifics as to what we can teach you.

Throughout your time here, you can learn a variety of skills in addition to those of your selected program. We host events and contests to help you get acquainted with beneficial skills. One of those events are our career fairs. We have a network of salons and spas that could be a future possibility for our students. You can meet those very people before and after you graduate to help you make connections. Our alumni are always welcome to our career fairs long after they’ve graduated.

In addition, Aveda hosts social media contests, which can teach you social media marketing, photography/videography, as well as editing. We want students to have all the tools necessary to build their own business and market their own creativity!

What’s a Virtual Tour?

Now is a perfect time for a career change but a not so good time to meet face-to-face. So, what did Aveda do? We solved the problem. Welcome to the unveiling our virtual tour, which allows you to visit our institute at a safe distance. Moreover, have a one-on-one session with our friendly and knowledgable Aveda Admissions staff.

We have put ourselves in your shoes! We figured out how you can stay comfy and get a jump-start on your education during this down time! However, in order to get started enrolling in our programs, we want to meet you and learn about your interests. Even though we must practice social distancing, we want you to get a peak of Aveda Institute Maryland. The best way to do that is by scheduling a quick Virtual Tour.

What’s a Virtual Tour like at AVEDA Institute Maryland?

Virtual Tours are video calls that Aveda uses to connect with future students. This it to protect them from leaving the safety and comfort of their homes. Using video calling software, we are able to connect with students online.

The software we have chosen to make this connection possible is Zoom. It’s like the classroom version of FaceTime where video calls can be schedule with those whom links are sent.

First, a host (the person scheduling and conducting the call) sends out a link to the invitee’s email with scheduled time and date. Second, that link will grant the invitee access to the meeting (or video call). For this instance, you will be the invitee and we will be the host. Once we’ve sent you the invite link via email, you can click on it and gain access to our video call at your scheduled time.

From then, you will be able to see our friendly admissions rep who will give you further instructions once the video call starts. It also has loads of other special features as well. One of those cool features is that not only can the host and invitee see each other but the host can also share other content with the invitee.

For instance, during the call with your Admissions Rep, you will be able to see an awesome PowerPoint, the Aveda Mission video, and more. That way you get to know our institute while we get to know you!

What happens during a Virtual Tour?

1. Our Admissions rep, will introduce themselves.
2. Then, you will get to introduce yourself as our Admissions Rep guides you through a “Get to Know you Questionnaire.”
3. Afterwards, you will learn more about Aveda Institute Maryland and what makes our beauty school and programs differ from others.
4. Next, we’ll want to know what drew you to our program/school. So, that we may help shape our program to better meet your career goals and educational plans.
5. Moreover, we will give you a good sense of career opportunities for your specific program.
6. Last, but certainly not least, we want answer questions you may have about our programs.
7. Finally, we will then provide you a set instructions that will help take you to your next steps for enrollment.

What type of information will you receive?

After getting to know a little about you and your interests, we will also share with you information about admissions process and how to apply for financial aid. During that time, don’t hesitate to ask your admissions rep any questions or share any concerns. This way when you have your video call with financial aid next (in a separately scheduled session), all of your questions may be addressed.

How do I sign up?

It’s super easy to sign up for a virtual tour. Click Schedule a tour, please read the brief directions and fill out our quick form that can be filled out in under a minute!

Tips & Tidbits:

To help you better prepare, please download the Zoom app and create an optional free account. During video calls, we recommend using headphones with a microphone to increase the quality of your video calling experience. However, this is not a requirement.

Another important factor is to make sure you have a secure connection. You’d be surprise at how many video calls are lost due to an unstable connection. Moreover, if you are disconnected from the call, don’t panic. Simply email our admissions rep and we will continue the tour at a later time or over the phone.

Lastly, make sure you are in a quiet place during video calls so that you may experience your tour uninterrupted. You don’t want any free radicals like friends, pets, or family distracting you from your video call. Although we are pretty relaxed, we would still like to treat each call with an air of professionalism!

Stay Safe & Healthy!

Is A FUTURE In The Beauty Industry Right For You?

Beauty is more than doing hair, makeup, skincare, and nails. Beauty is an art form. Instead of using canvas and paints, you use live human beings to bring your vision into reality. Most of our students have a passion for beauty and a burning desire to create something beautiful using tools and products. Do you love doing hair? Is makeup your palette to the world? Or maybe you love skincare and love making people look beautiful. If so, a career in the beauty industry may be your perfect fit!

What Can You Do In The Beauty Industry?

Believe it or not, it is more than standing behind a chair all day. I have heard so many people say “I love doing hair but there is no way I could stand behind that chair all day!” Well, the good news is you don’t have too! There are so many options available in the industry that weren’t available even 10 short years ago! Some pathway choices include:

• Hairstylist
• Color Specialist
• Platform Artist
• Product Rep
• Educator
• Salon Manager
• Salon Owner
• Wedding Makeup and Hair
• Wedding Nails
• Updo Specialist (for weddings and proms)
• Traveling Stylist
• Editorial Hair and Makeup Artist
• Model Stylist
• Runway Stylist
• Skincare Educator
• Makeup Educator
• Image Consultant

The list is endless!

Which License Is Best For Me?

There are several licenses you can get in the industry. You just have to decide which one meets your goals, your time frame, and what you really want to do.

Cosmetology License:

Cosmetology licenses trump most other licenses. When you have your cosmetology license you can do it all, makeup, skincare, hair, and nails. This is very appealing to most employers because they can hire a cosmetologist and let them do it all instead of hiring two or three other people. But, getting your cosmetology licenses takes time and passion! It is not a quick process. At Aveda Institute Maryland we have a few options to get your cosmetology license!

• Daytime Classes- This 10-month program is the quickest way to get your license. You go to school Tuesday-Saturday, 8:45 to 4:30.
• Night Time Classes- This program is perfect for those that work, have kids, or need a shorter schedule. You go to school Monday through Thursday 5:30 pm to 10:00 pm and Saturday 8:45 am to 4:30 pm. This program is 60 weeks long (roughly 14 months)

A total of 1500 hours must be met before you can graduate and get your license.

Esthetician License

The Esthetician License is for those that want to focus solely on skincare and makeup! It is a much shorter program and when you are finished you will be able to do skin care, makeup, brow waxing, brow tinting, eyelashes, and more! You can also take advanced classes such as microblading and eyelash extensions. We offer daytime classes Tuesday-Saturday 8:45-4:30

You must complete 600 hours before you can graduate and get your license.

Why Aveda?

Choosing a school can be a very personal choice. It is a unique experience that is different for everyone. You may need a school that is close to home, or maybe you want a school that focuses on a certain brand. Whatever your reasoning is, you need to explore all of your options. In fact, that may be what lead you to this article. So why Aveda?

Aveda is one of the leading industry companies that is paving the way to natural beauty products. They are made from pure, natural, organic and responsibly sourced ingredients. Aveda is also a global pioneer in sustainable business practices, such as manufacturing with 100% wind power, and using recycled materials and soy ink for packaging and printing. Last but certainly not least, Aveda fundraises through special product sales and Earth Month initiatives that raise millions annually for clean water. Honestly, I think our mission says it all!

 Our mission at Aveda is to care for the world we live in, from the products we make to the ways in which we give back to society. At Aveda, we strive to set an example for environmental leadership and responsibility, not just in the world of beauty, but around the world.

In school, we are taught the Aveda difference, such as rituals, comforting tea, and all of our students are taught how to work in a salon while working on clients. Aveda takes beauty school to a higher level. Aveda is not just found in salons, though. As an Aveda graduate, you could find yourself in many other fields. The possibilities are endless when you graduate from Aveda.

I Am Ready To Learn More!

Regardless of what school you choose, there are things you need to do when taking a tour of the campus!

1.  Ask questions, a lot of questions. Don’t be afraid to talk to your admissions counselor. Make sure the program is right for you and your needs!
2. Talk to other students that are in the program. Ask them how they like the school, what their schedules are like, or any other information you would like to know. Current students have the inside scoop on the school and can help you decide if it is right for you!
3. Ask about financial aid. It is there for those who qualify.

Do not schedule a tour during lunch. Make sure the students are there so you can see the place in action. While touring watch to see if the students are busy, if they are learning, how many teachers are there, is there one-on-one attention, and most importantly, is the salon clinic floor busy? Those questions are very important and should be answered through your tour!

Is A Career In The Beauty Industry Right For You?

If you have a passion and drive to make people beautiful then it is! We can help you decide when you take a tour of our campus. You can call us at 410-838-0845 or contact our admissions counselor via email to set up an appointment. We can’t wait to talk to you and get your career started in the beauty industry!
