About This School

Aveda Institute-Phoenix is a private for-profit institution located in Tempe, Arizona with approximately 218 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $20,907 per year. The graduation rate is 68%.

Students who are serious about a career in cosmetology and drawn to Aveda's well-known brand and holistic philosophy will feel at home here — this is a focused, vocational environment with a small community of about 218 students, not a traditional college experience. The standout number is the median debt at graduation: just $6,333, which is remarkably low for a private institution and suggests students aren't leaving buried in loans. That said, the net price of $20,907 per year is worth scrutinizing — make sure your family understands exactly what aid is available before committing, because cosmetology wages can be modest in early career years. The 68% graduation rate is decent but not exceptional, so I'd encourage any prospective student to ask the school directly what causes the other 32% to leave and what support systems exist to help you finish. My practical advice: visit, talk to current students and recent graduates about actual job placement and starting salaries in the Phoenix market, and compare this option against Arizona's community college cosmetology programs before signing anything.
