about Aveda Arts San Antonio—
Situated in a shopping center in the master-planned district of Stone Oak, the San Antonio campus is a conveniently short commute from most locations in the San Antonio area, thanks to its proximity to Interstates 35, 10, and 410 and Route 281. Most of our students drive to class, enjoying the ease of free parking outside our door.
If you’re familiar with this area, you know Stone Oak is home to everything you may need, from banks, healthcare facilities, and grocery stores to The Home Depot and Walgreens. Between and after classes, students often take advantage of LA Fitness right next door, as well as dining options such as Whataburger and Chick-fil-A and a coffee shop, Summer Moon Coffee. Students with children appreciate that we are located across the street from Country Kids Academy, a daycare facility.

programs offered—
choose your passion—
The San Antonio campus offers two tracks of practical training: two programs in Cosmetology and one in Esthetician.
Cosmetology
We offer both 1,000- and 1,500-hour Cosmetology program options. Both heavily focus on hair (cutting, styling, coloring, texturizing) and also teach makeup, nail services, and basic skincare. The 1,000-hour Cosmetology program includes instruction to prepare you for your Texas cosmetology operator exam and career, while the 1,500-hour option includes additional training and exposure to develop your artistry before you launch into your new beauty career.
Our programs are primarily for full-time students, with two cohorts of Cosmetology students: the A group, which meets Monday through Wednesday, 9 am to 8 pm, and the B group, which attends Wednesday through Saturday, 9 am until 5:30 pm.
Esthetician
Our Esthetician program prepares future skincare specialists to work in salons or spas, jobs that may eventually lead to positions such as spa directors, wellness consultants, or Aveda educators. Students learn how to perform facials, makeup applications, waxes, and other skincare and wellness rituals that are part of the Aveda experience.
Additionally, your training includes extensive instruction in business development and Aveda product recommendation and retail sales to help ensure you have the well-rounded skills to be a successful esthetician.
Our Esthetician students attend during B group hours (Wednesday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5:30 pm). A part-time esthetician program is occasionally offered—check with admissions if there are upcoming part-time Esthetician class start dates.
