Aveda Corporation is an American cosmetics company founded by Horst Rechelbacher, now owned by Estée Lauder Companies, and headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Aveda manufactures skin and body care, cosmetics, perfume, hair color, and hair care products, and trains students in cosmetology, massage, and esthiology at the Aveda Institutes in Minneapolis, New York City, Des Moines, Tampa Bay, Washington, D.C., Maryland, Orlando, Denver, Winnipeg, and many other cities.
Worth considering if you're set on a cosmetology or esthetics career and want hands-on training in a small, focused environment — with only 242 students, you'll get more personalized attention than at a large program. The median debt at graduation is a reasonable $6,333, which is manageable given typical entry-level earnings in the beauty industry. That said, the $19,538 annual net price is steep for a vocational certificate, so compare this carefully against community college cosmetology programs in your area before committing.
