Aveda Institute Tampa Bay

I’ve been going to the Clearwater location now for 4 months. I’ve got foils, haircuts by Alli and a facial by another young lady. They are learning but they want us to feel comfortable and get what we want. They are always supervised. Don’t go if you are a perfectionist, they don’t need your criticism. They want to learn and do the best they can do with what they know. I enjoy going there.

This is the most delightful experience I've had with a haircut in a long time. I chose a cut by a senior student and Lexie was wonderful. She asked me for my input, had her educator double-check everything, was very patient and I left with a great cut for only $20!. I booked a second cut with her immediately. I've gone to Aveda many times for products but the services are terrific too. UPDATE: Booked my follow-up appointment with Sam before leaving. She was very skilled in both listening and cutting. The Aveda Institute is clean, comfortable and continues to provide excellent services.

I came in to Aveda and got my hair done by Megan Olson! It came out absolutely beautiful I am so happy with it! Definitely a 10/10 experience I received the FULL treatment. Would highly recommend to anyone! Thank you again Aveda and Megan Olson for my beautiful hair!

Grateful for my experience here as a massage student. The proximity of the school to my home in Clearwater made it possible for me to pursue a profession I’ve been dreaming about for 20 years. The timing of emerging into such a profession after a weird couple of years in the macro was interesting to navigate through certain restrictions and precautions while working so intimately with others. I feel the instructors and admins did their best with the information provided to them to work with the situation at hand, and were ultimately reasonable about their requirements toward student precautions. I really like how during the initial week of the program (Camp Aveda) they provide context to the history of Aveda and how Horst Rechelbacher birthed the concept of this brand through his own healing journey. I do feel the school as a larger institution could do more to immerse students into the roots of the Ayurvedic philosophy and teach more of the ancient and holistic medicine as a deeper part of the curriculum. As far as the staff goes, Heather, Caitlin, Hayden, Rebecca & Emilee were all so wonderful and supportive during my time as a student. I feel they really care about and encourage the students to make the most of what is offered in the program, while also being understanding that life outside of school can add unexpected challenges. I also really enjoyed getting to know other students in the program and was actually a little sad when I graduated. I am currently preparing to take the state boards to become licensed and am ecstatic to begin my official career path as an intuitive healer ♥️. As with any educational program, you get out of it what you invest into it, and your success is a direct reflection of your effort and intention. If you’re thinking about the Aveda massage program, just go for it!
