about Aveda Arts New Orleans—
Aveda Arts & Sciences Institute New Orleans is located in the suburb of Metairie. Our campus is located off the I-10 at the Causeway Blvd. exit, with a large parking lot behind the school and a bus stop in front of the school. We’re a ready commute from nearby areas, including the city of New Orleans, Jefferson, Gretna, Westbank, Kenner, and New Orleans East.
The campus is in a modern two-story building that houses classrooms and a large clinic floor, where students can practice their skills on clients, and several private spa rooms, where esthetics students can hone their skills in a space that simulates a real-world spa. Warm lighting in both the retail store and learning areas create a welcoming environment for clients and students alike.
The school is conveniently located on Veterans Memorial Blvd, one of the city’s busiest commercial streets—so your busy lifestyle doesn’t have to skip a beat while you attend beauty school. There’s international cuisine, multiple Starbucks locations, a Target, and banks just a short distance away. Our campus is next door to Whole Foods and across the street from Lakeside Mall, where students often enjoy going for lunch. Trader Joe’s is also just a 5-minute drive away.
