about Aveda Arts Houston—

The Aveda Arts & Sciences Institute Houston’s state-of-the-art building is in the suburb of Shenandoah, just minutes from The Woodlands. The open design of the campus encourages students to flow easily from one space to another, from gleaming rows of hair stations to serene spalike client waiting areas and industrial-chic classrooms. 

The campus’ proximity to local amenities can help make your time in beauty school an even smoother experience. With Costco, Sam’s Club, and H-E-B within a short drive, you can quickly take care of life’s needs after school. The local Starbucks and Sally Beauty Supply are also great stops for supplementing your learning experience—though don’t worry, your student kit will be bursting with goodies to set you up for your program. 

Our campus is also conveniently located right off I-45 and has a large on-site parking lot for easy commuting.

why choose Aveda Arts Houston—

Whether you’re dreaming about a skincare career in a luxury spa or want to become the next big name in hair styling, our Houston campus is the perfect place to train. Our expert instructors love passing on their skills to the next wave of beauty pros. In fact, several of our faculty relocated to Houston just to teach at our school. 

Our students not only enjoy comprehensive hair, beauty, or wellness classes, but also a rich extracurricular life. Regular events including Industry Days, the Catwalk for Water Scholarship Fashion Show, Fall Fest, and others encourage our rising talent to show us everything they’ve got. 

We encourage creativity, individuality, and outstanding customer service. And we believe that what we put on our bodies matters, from head to toe. With all our students, we emphasize training that emphasizes holistic beauty and wellness through the Aveda philosophy and use of our 100% vegan, plant-powered products. 

We’re proud to have received many positive reviews from many of our Cosmetology and Esthiology students. Check out just a few of our recent graduate testimonials: 

“Great school. They prepare you as much as they can for the state board. Great environment from the teachers to classmates. Gives you hands-on practice in a real spa setting.” 

“Excellent classroom and hands-on training. The curriculum is created to address all learning styles. The teachers were top-notch. They also offered a lot of extra training options from outside sources.” 

“Excellent staff and great training. I felt prepared for the state board exam and to work with clients. It’s an intensive program, but Aveda does a great job preparing students for going out to the field.”

choose your passion—

Whether you want to kick-start a career in cosmetology for a full range of beauty training or dive straight into skincare, we have a program for you. At our Houston campus, we offer Cosmetology and Esthiology (esthetics) programs. 

Cosmetology

Our Cosmetology programs combine classroom theory with extensive hands-on experience to provide a complete understanding of hair and other beauty services. For the most flexibility for different students, we offer two Cosmetology programs: one comprised of 1,000 hours, and another comprised of 1,500 hours. The 1,500-hour program builds on the basics with additional cut and color education, financial classes in the business of beauty, and more exposure to guest artists and leaders in the field. 

All Cosmetology programs at Aveda Arts & Sciences Institute Houston offer instruction in cutting-edge services and techniques, including haircutting, styling, coloring, and texturizing; nail care and nail art, and makeup application, alongside must-know, business-savvy skills such as product recommendations and sales, marketing and promotion, and the art of gaining and retaining clients. 

Esthiology

The Esthiology (esthetician) program at Aveda Arts & Sciences Institute Houston prepares students for a creative, successful career in skin care, covering everything from facials to makeup, waxing, and more. Our expert instructors are highly skilled in all areas of esthetics and love to share their experience and knowledge with our students. Our curriculum also covers other essential topics, including client care, state laws related to the skincare profession, and salon management. 

Instructor Training

The Instructor Training curriculum is designed to prepare licensed cosmetologists or estheticians for the State licensing examination as an educator. Students will learn the science of teaching and enhance their skills in all aspects of their chosen fields. Upon graduation and licensing students will be qualified to teach full or part-time cosmetology or esthiology in a licensed school.
