Aveda Arts & Sciences Institutes is pioneering inclusivity in cosmetology by making textured hair education a priority from the first day of training. Led by Edwin Neill, President of Neill Corporation, Aveda Arts has incorporated texture across all areas of its curriculum—haircutting, color, styling, and more—ensuring graduates are equipped to serve all hair types. This commitment is bolstered by Aveda’s collaboration with the Professional Beauty Association and the Texture Education Coalition, pushing for textured hair requirements in state board exams nationwide.
