As 黑料专区 are opening our doors to guests and students once more, we wanted to provide our support for those beauty school students who started their education in beauty and may or may not have been able to continue.

If this sounds like you, it檚 not too late to finish your education in beauty! There are options out there to transfer from one beauty school to another and get the education needed to pursue a future in cosmetology, esthiology, and more!

Here is an overview of why 黑料专区 may be right for you and some tips on the transferring process.

We Are Prepared To Implement New Changes

We were grateful to have the means to provide an online education to our current students so they weren檛 held back during this time. As we start to open up our doors again, we will be doing everything we can to keep our students safe.

We are able to accommodate government guidelines to keep our students safe while getting their education. Our large campuses provide more room to adequately provide space for our students and team to follow appropriate social distancing guidelines. We will continue to adapt and change our protocol and curriculum as situations arise.

You Can Pursue New Opportunities

Still looking to explore your calling in beauty? We have a variety of programs to choose from, depending on the location. This also can make us a good choice to transfer schools, as you may find a good match of your previous program. A few of the programs we offer are:

We may accept transfer students at each of our locations on a case-by-case basis. See what program fits your interests at the location closest to you!

How To Transfer Beauty Schools

Our Dream Makers are ready to help make the transferring process as smooth as possible. Often, transferring schools can feel like applying for the first time, with a few extra steps. A general overview of some of the steps you can expect to take are:

1. Schedule Your Tour

We will let you know when we can do in-person tours or virtual tours. This is still a good first step, as you need to make sure your new school is a right fit, and we can talk through your situation. You can also expect us to walk you through the transferring process and what to expect as a transfer student.

2. Apply

Youl have to apply to the location you檙e interested in, since transfer students are considered a new student when going to a different school. During the application process, wel get to know you to see if our school is a good fit for you!

3. Get Information From Your Previous School

Asking your previous school for your transcript information and any outstanding balances is a must. This makes it much easier for 黑料专区 to help determine whether it檚 possible to transfer and what credits can transfer.

We檝e covered the transferring process much more in-depth in our blog about the five steps you should take when transferring beauty schools.

Learn How To Transfer To 黑料专区

Financial Aid for Beauty School Students /aveda-institute-tucson/financial-aid-for-beauty-school-students/ /aveda-institute-tucson/financial-aid-for-beauty-school-students/#respond Fri, 27 Sep 2019 10:00:25 +0000 https://inspiregre2dev.wpenginepowered.com/financial-aid-for-beauty-school-students/ At 黑料专区, we have many resources to help our students. One of our most valuable resources is our ability to offer financial aid to those who qualify. Read more to see how you can apply.

The post Financial Aid for Beauty School Students appeared first on Inspire Greatness.

]]>
Financial aid is available to those who qualify.

So you檙e wondering how you can pay for beauty school in an easy and efficient way? At our 黑料专区, we檝e got some simple tips on how you can apply for financial aid to get you started down the path of a beauty education. Check out how simple the process is and learn how to get started by filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA庐)!

What Is the FAFSA庐 and How Do I Complete It?

Beauty school students have a lot to learn as they make their journey towards becoming beauty professionals. Applying for student aid should be simple, so rather than stressing about having to pay for school, you can focus on your learning!

The first thing to understand is where you can get financial aid from. There are plenty of private scholarships that are offered to students, even scholarships for beauty school-specific students.

But there are other options too! Federal student loans could be a good option to help students pay for beauty school. FAFSA庐 stands for Free Application for Federal Student Aid after all, so it’s completely free to fill out!

One of the most frequently asked questions about the FAFSA庐 is 淲here can I go to fill it out? The official website, , is the place to start your financial aid process. Keep in mind that if you are single and under the age of 24, your parents information is mandatory to complete it. If you are married and have dependents you are completely supporting on your own, you won檛 need your parents to fill out the FAFSA庐 form.

If you decided to start a FAFSA庐 application, youl need to create a FAFSA庐 ID and to provide basic demographics, your social security number, and a tax return for the previous year. To submit the FAFSA庐 youl most likely need the code to the school of your choice.

Here are the codes for each of our locations:

Denver – 041671
Phoenix – E40394
Provo – 040723
Tucson – 041945

Once it檚 all signed and completed then youl be finished until someone can review your application!

The nice thing about the FAFSA庐 is that it doesn檛 take very long to fill out and it檚 effortless. You can even fill it out on a on your phone.

What檚 the Process Like With Student Loans?

There are more ways to pay for school than scholarships and FAFSA庐 money. Student loans are a viable option as well when searching out ways to pay for schooling.

First, if someone decides to take out , there is a requirement that the student has to complete an and to receive their loans. Both only take about 30 minutes to complete.

Luckily, at 黑料专区, we have financial counselors who can review info about loans and give you more knowledge on interest rates, cost of living and what loans can look like in the end for you. The promissory note is a document that you sign promising that you will repay your loans when the time comes. Both actions are mandatory to be able to be eligible for student loans.

The End of a Beauty School Journey!

If you檙e accepted into beauty school, you can expect to complete exit counseling for your direct loan. You can log in to studentloans.gov with your id username and password. Select “exit counseling for undergraduate borrowers” and it can give you great information on repayment options, the total debt owed, your grace period and a loan servicer. If you have questions you can always contact your financial aid office.

Are You Looking Into Beginning an Education in Beauty?

There are a lot of secondary education options available out there, but there檚 nothing quite like an education and a potential career in beauty. If you are looking into a future of beauty, it檚 important to research beauty schools with extra opportunities and resources, like financial aid assistance! At all four of our 黑料专区 locations we offer financial aid to those who qualify. See if you have what a beauty professional is made of and what kind of is best for you!

Why Our Massage Therapy Program Stands Out /massage/why-our-massage-therapy-program-stands-out/ /massage/why-our-massage-therapy-program-stands-out/#respond Thu, 23 May 2019 13:54:27 +0000 https://inspiregre2dev.wpenginepowered.com/why-our-massage-therapy-program-stands-out/ Massage therapy is about whole body wellness. At least, that檚 how we feel. To find out what makes our program so special, click here.

The post Why Our Massage Therapy Program Stands Out appeared first on Inspire Greatness.

]]>
When you think of massage therapy, what comes to mind? At Inspire Greatness Aveda Institute, we see massage as part of an overall wellness journey. Our massage therapy program is rooted in Ayurveda, one of the oldest holistic healing systems in history. This practice is centered on the belief that health and wellness can be achieved when the mind, body, and spirit are balanced as one. The Ayurvedic system isn檛 the only thing that makes our massage program stand out. To get a better idea of what makes our massage therapy program so special, we talked to Liz Aigner, a massage educator at our Denver campus.

Liz Aigner with Brad Van Dyke and Amanda of Aveda Institute Minneapolis.

Shaping Well-Rounded Massage Therapists

Before coming back to Inspire Greatness Aveda Institute in 2016, Liz Aigner was a lead licensed massage therapist and manager at a massage studio in downtown Denver. While she held this position, she noticed that many massage therapists had gaps in their knowledge. This propelled her to pursue massage therapy education at Aveda. 淚 knew that going into teaching would help me mold, facilitate space, and create a new generation of talented, sufficient massage therapists, she says. 淚 knew this could change the landscape of excellence in bodywork and massage practitioners.

Our Massage Curriculum

The Aveda massage program is one-of-a-kind. With its focus on holistic wellness, the curriculum incorporates anatomy, physiology, and guest customization techniques. This 600-hour program teaches multiple modalities so students can learn the various types of massage. To make sure every student gets the support they need, we keep our class sizes small and offer one-on-one attention. In addition to normal classes, we provide master classes to enrolled students and alumni. These advanced courses take the curriculum to the next level, with techniques like fire cupping and Thai massage. 淎veda sets up students so they can enter into any niche they feel drawn to, Liz says. 淪pas, wellness centers, chiropractic practices, gyms, yoga studios, and rehab facilities. We set up a solid foundation for students so they can decide what fits their style best.

A Focus on Wellness

If you檙e interested in healing and wellness, massage therapy could be a great choice for you. 淎s people, we don檛 get enough human touch, Liz says. 淗ealers of all practices benefit from educating society on the power of touch, the importance of a healthy body, creating a quiet and calm mind, and opening the spirit through healthy touch. Liz also says that one of the most important things massage therapy students can learn in our program is the act of self-care. 淲hen we take care of ourselves, we have the stamina to take care of our guests, family, and friends, she says. 淭his program is meant to open you up to new experiences and self-exploration!

Start Your Massage Therapy Journey

Massage therapy can be a great choice for those who are flexible, compassionate, and dedicated to wellness. With continuous chances to grow, it檚 a career path with plenty of opportunities for growth and learning. To learn more about applying to our program, contact Inspire Greatness Aveda Institute today! We offer massage therapy at our Provo and Denver locations. We檇 love to help you pursue your goals in health and wellness.

McKell Hird, a cosmetology student at Aveda Institute Provo, won Student Hairstylist of the Year at the 2019 North American Hairstyling Awards this January. As we celebrate her big win, she explains more about her story and the inspiration behind her designs.

2019 NAHA Winner McKell Hird

Getting Started in Beauty

While McKell has always been interested in beauty, she only recently started on the path to becoming a cosmetologist. Her parents wanted her to try traditional college, so she spent a semester at college in Idaho. Her time in Idaho helped her realize it was not the place for her. It solidified her desire to go to cosmetology school.

Why Aveda?

Because she still wanted to be part of college life, McKell chose to go to cosmetology school in Provo, which is home to two universities and is known for being a college town.

淚 toured a lot of schools in Provo, but Aveda was just so different, she says. 淚 loved the feel of the school. It檚 about more than just doing hair. I really liked the mission statement and beliefs of Aveda.

Now that she is finishing up school, she is glad she chose Aveda Institute.

淐hoosing to come to Aveda Institute Provo was the BEST decision I檝e ever made. I chose Aveda because they are more than just a beauty brand. Aveda is a network of inspired people with global goals of greatness. I never would have had so many amazing opportunities with any other school! she said.

Journey to NAHA

NAHA Aveda Team

On McKell檚 fifth day of school last spring, her instructor pitched NAHA to the students. She told them about the competition and showed pictures of past finalists.

淚 looked at all of the pictures of the hair and said 榯his is something that I want to do. I檝e only been in school for five days but Il still try,櫇 McKell says.

A few weeks after submitting her video application she found out she was selected to be Aveda Provo檚 rep for NAHA. Then just a short time later, in August, she created her collection to enter the competition.

Inspiration Behind the Designs

Vintage-Edgy-Pink-Hairstyles

McKell was in the middle of watching a movie about Marie Antoinette when she got the email saying she was selected as her school檚 rep for NAHA. With Marie Antoinette as her inspiration, McKell wanted to make her collection based on female empowerment.

淲ith my collection 楲et Them Eat Cake I wanted it to be more than just pretty hair. I wanted the images to tell a story that I believe in, feminine empowerment. I wanted it to be soft and girly with an overabundance of pink, lace, and pastels. But, fierce with the models stance and facial expressions. While women can be frilly and refined, they are also bold and powerful. Womanhood is a strength, not a weakness, she explains.

The Awards Event

McKell describes the actual NAHA event where she received her award as a surreal experience.

淭he first time I heard of NAHA was when I submitted the video to create a collection. I didn檛 understand how huge it was going to be, she says.

NAHA is one of the largest hair awards events, and McKell enjoyed meeting Aveda leaders from around the world.

淓verybody was so nice, they were immediately like family. Aveda is more than a brand, it is a family, she says.

Future Goals and Plans

McKell with winning design

McKell graduates this April. She isn檛 sure exactly where she will go yet, but she knows she wants to stay with Aveda.

淭here檚 honestly nowhere else I檇 rather be, she says.

When McKell started cosmetology school she had no idea she would earn the awards she檚 earned so far. She wants other students to know they can achieve their dreams too.

淕o with your gut and never think your dreams are too big, she says. 淚t檚 easy as a student to think there檚 a lot you can檛 do, but just go for everything. When we were making my collection things didn檛 go perfectly at all, but we worked through it. Everything will work out in the end if you are passionate and work hard.

Interested in Cosmetology School?

If you have a creative passion and big dreams, cosmetology school could be the right fit for you. Get in touch with us to learn more about the opportunities available to you at Aveda Institute Provo, Denver, Phoenix, or Tucson.

Demand for Cosmetologists in the Future

The number of cosmetology jobs available is . Careers in the field are projected to grow by 13%, manicurist and pedicurist jobs are expected to grow by 13%, and esthetician jobs are projected to grow by 14% by 2026. Compared to an average growth rate of 5-9%, cosmetology and related fields are . Because of this, cosmetology has a . Many people consider beauty school a good investment for future opportunities.

What to do After Cosmetology School

As the demand for cosmetologists in the future grows, beauty school can prepare you for many different career paths. Cosmetologists can choose to become business owners, creative artists, skilled educators, and more.

Be a Business Owner

Many beauty students have a dream of opening their own salon and being their own boss. After working at a salon and building a clientele, some stylists go on to start their own business. If a stylist already has loyal clients, opening their own salon gives them more creative freedom, choice of products to use and sell, and flexibility. However, starting a business can be a more expensive and riskier choice than working for someone else檚 business, so stylists turned salon owners are usually experienced with industry connections.

If your dream is to open your own salon, you can start preparing now by gaining loyal clients who would follow you to a new salon. It檚 also important to build your own brand. If you go to different salons you can see that each has a different vibe: some salons are modern and edgy, others are upscale and classy, while some have a casual, urban-chic feel. Developing a style now can help ensure your brand is strong and recognizable when you檙e ready to open your own salon.

You can start developing a brand with social media, like Instagram. It檚 a great way to make industry connections and show off your work. The best time to start building a brand on Instagram is during cosmetology school. A good first step is connecting with students and instructors at school and posting your classwork.

Become an Editorial Stylist

While some stylists love to help ordinary people become their most beautiful selves, others want to experiment and push the boundaries of style. Editorial stylists create avant-garde looks for the fashion industry, advertisements, and sometimes even just for the purpose of creating art. While editorial looks are not traditionally pretty, they are often designed to symbolize something else or tell a story with shape and color.

McKell Hird, a student who attends , won Student Hairstylist of the Year at the 2019 North American Hairstyling Awards. She created this editorial collection to contrast the delicate pastel hair and clothing with the models fierce expressions. Besides being aesthetically pleasing, the collection is meant to show women can be both pretty and powerful.

At a fashion show, the hair and makeup of the models has to further the designer檚 vision and aesthetic. Next time you are looking at pictures from a high fashion runway, take a look at the models hair and makeup. Are the shapes continuing the lines of the clothing? Is the designer contrasting the style of clothing with the hair to make a statement? How does color coordinate between the clothing and the hair or makeup? Understanding why stylists and designers make their editorial decisions is the first step to becoming an editorial stylist.

If you want to practice coming up with creative ideas but you don檛 have a model and photographer, you can try sketching out some looks on paper. There are resources available online for and , so you don檛 need to be a professional artist to sketch out your editorial ideas! Recording your ideas will help you exercise your creativity and prepare you to make great designs.

Freelancing and Working from 黑料专区

Many students choose cosmetology because they want flexibility in their career. Unlike some jobs, cosmetologists do not necessarily have to work for a specific company from 9-5 each day. Even stylists working at a salon often have the flexibility to work part-time or choose nontraditional hours.

A stylist can also operate a salon if they follow the relevant licensing procedures. This is attractive to people like moms who want to be at home with their kids or part-time stylists who have a different day job. They get to enjoy the convenience of taking clients throughout the day without having to drive to work.

Besides working from home, cosmetologists can also freelance for fashion, film, or the wedding industry. In the wedding industry, there is a demand for cosmetologists skilled in multiple areas like hair styling, makeup, nails, or lashes. Brides and wedding parties are willing to pay generously for a cosmetologist who can come to the venue and take care of all their beauty needs.

If you are interested in working in the wedding industry, it檚 a good idea to diversify your skills. You can start making connections by collaborating with wedding photographers, dress shops, accessories stores, and florists. Many of them are also looking to build a portfolio and they appreciate the help. To get in touch you can always start simple and send out Instagram direct messages. Not everyone will respond, but many of them will be in great need of a stylist for their next shoot and theyl be glad you reached out.

This is another reason it檚 a good idea to start growing your Instagram now because your profile will become a portfolio people will look at when deciding whether they檇 like to collaborate with you. Use pictures of the best work on your feed, and try to only post photos and videos that you would want a potential client to see.

Educator

Are you wishing cosmetology school would never end? After you get some experience working in the field, you can come back and learn to become an educator. You will get to teach and inspire the newest generation of cosmetologists. Instilling your creative passion and skills into the students can be a very rewarding career.

The success of our students and graduates is more important to us than anything else, so when we hear about amazing alumni and the incredible things they are up to, we like to brag about them. This month we had the opportunity to talk with Liz Farnsworth, a graduate from Inspire Greatness Aveda Institute in Provo, to hear about her story and journey so far. She檚 an exuberant and talented cosmetologist who helped remind us what being a beauty professional is all about!

A Destiny in Beauty

Liz was acquainted with the beauty world from a young age. Her friend檚 mother worked in an Aveda salon, so she was able to see first-hand what being a professional cosmetologist looked like. Liz was always fascinated by the many different services she watched, and couldn檛 help but ask questions. Despite this keen interest from a young age, Liz felt pressure to attend a 渞eal school after graduating high school. She enrolled at Utah Valley University (UVU), but decided that wasn檛 for her. Just after classes at UVU began, Liz visited the Inspire Greatness Aveda Institute in Provo for a service, and she fell in love immediately!

Liz loved the look and feel of the school from the moment she walked through the door. She liked how clean, modern, and professional the school felt, and she could tell that Inspire Greatness Aveda was where her 渞eal school would be. The director of admissions at the school worked with her to find financial aid options to make her beauty school dream come true, and it came true!

Flexibility as a Cosmetologist

One of the things that Liz has enjoyed as a licensed cosmetologist is all of the freedom to perform different services day by day. She has the opportunity to perform any kind of service, ranging from your typical haircut to exciting hair coloring. Liz most enjoys taking care of a client from beginning to end, so being able to provide any service required has made it so she can work with someone from start to finish. Studying cosmetology has allowed Liz to be a more well-rounded and flexible beauty professional.

The Aveda Education

Graduating from beauty school is only the first step to becoming a completely-booked beauty professional. Networking, finding your first position, and building your book of business are the next steps to become a successful cosmetologist. Liz currently works as the in Salt Lake City. Landis is an Aveda salon, and as such has a high standard for the stylists it hires. The salon is prestigious and well-known in the area for the quality and standard of service. Were it not for Liz檚 background with Aveda products through 黑料专区, she would have had a harder time securing the opening at Landis. Getting that Aveda education is a great way to set yourself apart from your competition!

Advice For Future Students

Choosing to enroll into a beauty school program can be daunting for many people, but there are many professionals who wish they had gotten started sooner. Liz advises anyone with a passion for beauty to take the plunge and get started on their education:

淚f you want it, just do it. There檚 a reason you檙e thinking about beauty school and are passionate about beauty. If you檙e meant to do it, you can change someone檚 life, and you can change your own life along the way.

Liz檚 passion for beauty and energy for helping others is a great reminder of what it really means to be a cosmetologist. You can enjoy a career where you help other people feel and look like their best selves. Getting started can be intimidating, so Liz recommends getting in touch with the financial aid advisor at 黑料专区. They can help you find ways to fund your future in beauty!
