The Be Aveda Culture

Creating a more beautiful world.

We’re a family of seven beauty schools located in Florida. These seven campuses make up what is now known as Be Aveda Institutes.

The Be Aveda Institutes family is committed to educating a new generation of artistic talent. We prioritize our students’ happiness by ensuring students have the best education, products, support, and experiences. We put people and nature first. We value authenticity and transparency and honor the Be Aveda Institutes values and the Aveda mission in everything we do.

Living the Aveda mission

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. We strive to set an example for environmental leadership and responsibility, not just in the world of beauty—but around the world.
