Mel’s Choice of Beauty School Can’t Miss!

Welcome to the end of my story arc about Mel, who was having a hard time deciding between two beauty schools that were $4,000 apart in tuition price. Both were great schools, and Mel did a terrific job thinking it all through before choosing...drum roll, please...Carsten’s Aveda Institute. What swayed her?

While Mel’s primarily interested in hair, she believes her career will benefit from a broad foundation that includes spa basics. Aveda schools hold classes in hair, nails, skin care and massage.
Carsten, the owner, is not only a businessman but also a celebrated and successful hairdresser who personally teaches some classes. “He teaches a French-style cutting technique that sets his institute apart from most schools,” Mel reports.
The price is right for learning the fundamentals to pass the state boards. Mel says, “Once I have a job in a salon, I will get additional training on how they would like me to cut and color. And as with any career that is based on fashion and trends that change, it will be essential for me to continue my education with classes and seminars to stay up with the trends over the years.”
Aveda has a good reputation. “More people are beginning to prefer natural, organic and environmentally friendly options,” Mel notes. “As an important trend in the industry, it is a good decision to go to a school that will educate me on this aspect of cosmetology.”

Mel says she can’t wait to start cosmetology school!
