?✨Last night, each of our schools hosted our annual eco-chic fashion runway scholarship contest and Earth Month fundraising initiative, Catwalk for Water! ✨?

Funds raised from this event go towards our Earth Month partners; Tennessee Clean Water Network, Lower Mississippi Riverkeeper, Cahaba River Society, and the Gulf Restoration Network. These organizations are dedicated to raising awareness and protecting clean water, globally and regionally.

We were blown away by the talent and passion that was demonstrated and it was an honor to award a winner from each institute with a full tuition cosmetology scholarship.

Check out some of the looks from our 2017 Catwalk for Water that were created by current Aveda students, educators, and incoming students.
