I highly suggest not attending Aveda LA for any of their programs. They charge over double the tuition of other beauty schools while holding esthetics programs with NO ESTHETICIAN EDUCATORS. They have an extremely high turnover (5 major instructors over the course of two months). Every class day is filled with disorganization and dishonesty. Upper management and directors don't uphold meetings, or genuinely acknowledge the many ways in which this school fails to uphold offering a "well-rounded" education. Other staff members create a hostile environment for students and are simply unprofessional while placing high expectations on students. You won't get education in any trending techniques or technology. Any instructors they do have are in their position illegally as they graduate from Aveda themselves and start instructing right after. Legally you must be professionally practicing your field for three years to qualify as an educator; Making all the instructors complicit in the disoriented experience they are providing. The school is rundown and most classes are held in a basement. They run an entire spa and salon with students as unpaid workers under the name of "education." If you research more, these issues have been going on for years and there have been no improvements. This institute only values the money that you come in with, not you or your education.

I would like to say that I wish that I’d be writing here a good review, but unfortunately that’s far for the case. I’m looking for an Esthetician Program, so I checked Paul Mitchell Beauty School and Aveda Institute in Los Angeles. I checked the Aveda website and I fell in love with their eco conscious philosophy. I called the Admissions team of The Aveda Institute of Los Angeles to get more info about their program, and Ciara (I guess that was her name) was very dry and rude to give me basic info, then when asked me 3 questions: 1. If I had high school degree (yes), 2. If I’ve ever committed any felony (no) and 3. If I was a US citizen. I informed her that I am a permanent resident, which gives me the same documents that a citizen has, except an US passaport, and she said then I wouldn’t be able to apply for their school. I called to the California Board of Barbering and Cosmetology, and they informed me that there’s no such a thing, specially because I have an American ID, social security and Tax ID number. Later, I called again to talk with another member of the admission team to check the same info, and then the person said that I must be a US citizen, giving as reason that it’s because they hold a hybrid education (virtual /in-person), so I asked where I could find that information, then the person took 5 minutes and came back to me saying that was a regulation from the US Department of Education. I hung up, went to the US Department of Education website, and I didn’t find anything that supported that argument. After, I called my Lawyer explaining the situation, and she said that it is discrimination, because that’s no regulation prohibiting a permanent resident to apply for any type of education (hybrid or not hybrid). So I gave one more chance to it, and called the admission office one last time asking if they could send me by email the regulation that they were mentioning. The new admission women rudely explained (I had the impression that every single person of the admissions office are not capable of answering the clients over the phone in a nice and professional way) that it was on the US Department of Education website, then I told her that I checked the website and didn’t find it, then she said the absurd that I should call to the US Department of Education then, cause maybe their regulation is not written there (WHAT? It is a public regulation, it got to be formally published), then I asked her if she could do the favor of sharing the source of the information that she was giving me and she said she hadn’t anything (???). Anyway, if you are the owner of this place please contact me if possible. Your staff has not been professional at all and this and it’s a shame, cause the institute apparently has a lot of potential but they are killing it as the “face of the business”.

Daria and Michael are fantastic. I bleached my hair at home and had a homemade haircut that had grown out in a clownish fashion. They were patient and just amazing. There were 2 other instructors who assisted, but I don't remember their names. They were equally amazing, especially the barber with the long luxurious curly hair. Everyone was friendly and professional. The salon was inviting and clean. They even had purse hooks. I am going to come back for a corrective color.

I just moved here from Dallas,TX, where I regularly went to Aveda for hair services. The visit I experienced the other day at Aveda on Weyburn Avenue was pretty terrible. I arrived on time for my appointment, and as I waited for my stylist, I was approached 5 times and asked if I was someone else (apparently there was another client before me and they couldn't find her). They were walking in circles not sure what to do. Twenty minutes later they took me in. I told the student I needed a bang trim and how I wanted it. Her teacher came over and cut my bangs worse than they were before. I told her they were still uneven, she said, "well that's how your hair naturally falls".She had no clue what she was doing and she was teaching her student wrong. She cut them again and said, "well your hair is naturally heavier on one side, we can't fix that". The floors were dirty, covered with hair, tin foil, hair dye. When I went to walk to the bathroom there was no space to squeeze between stylists and chairs to get there and no one seemed to care. I drove 45 minutes to get to the appointment, paid for parking, spent way too long at the salon, and ended up with a terrible bang cut. Definitely need more quality teachers here, more organization, cleanliness and professionalism.
