As a recruiter for the entire United States of America I visit many cosmetology schools and interview countless students. I had my first visit to Aveda Fredric's Institutes in Cincinnati, Ohio and Indianapolis, Indiana this December. I was so impressed with the students, staff and facilities. It was clear that the students have been taught extremely well in all areas of the cosmetology curriculum. Their technical ability was outstanding and solid. It was also very easy to see that the students are being developed to offer professional, sincere and up scale service to each guest; this will open many doors for the Aveda Fredric's Institute students as they enter their careers. I look forward to continuing a relationship with the Cincinnati and Indianapolis Aveda Schools and look to the graduates of these programs to aid in the successful growth of the Steiner Salon Spa business.

STUDENT & ALUMNI TESTIMONIALS
Hello everyone at the Institute in Cincinnati. I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful experience attending the institute was for me. I attend the Cincinnati school from January 2005 through October 2005 and had a great time. I graduated and started working at a small salon, (Aveda of course), back in my home town of Richmond, IN. I was working with women who have been stylist for 20 years and with Aveda for at least 10. I felt totally confident next to them. I worked there for 1 year and then, moved to Williamsburg, VA with my husband, he's in the Navy. I started working at Elements Spa in the Great Wolf Lodge in Williamsburg, again Aveda of course. That is where I realized how much more prepared I was then all of the other hair stylists there. I had been doing hair the least amount of time and I felt the I was light years ahead of them and it is all because of the Institute. You all prepared me for my future in a way I can't even explain and I just wanted to Thank You!! :) I think the Aveda Fredric's Institute is the best cosmetology school around and I tell everyone I know about it. Keep up the wonderful work and when I come back up to Indiana I will have to stop by for a visit. Thank you so much!
I am half way through my Cosmetology program here at Aveda Fredric's Institute of Indianapolis and I could not be happier with my decision to apply. Being a college graduate I was a little skeptical about attending a beauty school, but Aveda is so much more than that, it's an all natural lifestyle, and I feel honored to be a part of it. I told myself that if I was going to take this change in career paths, then Aveda was the only route that I'd take. I know Aveda Fredric's Cincinnati's reputation and I knew I had to apply to this Indianapolis Institute before the waiting list became as long as the one in Cincinnati.
From day one I knew that I made the right decision. I was surrounded by beauty, professionalism, friendliness, upbeat energy, and most of all, a wide range of students that I felt I really connected with. This industry draws a certain type of personality, which is why I feel that my classmates are more than colleagues, they are my friends, some of which I hope to follow after graduation.
The instructors truly care about the students on all levels. Even though there are numerous students, I still am able to receive individual attention that I feel is sometimes necessary for me. I know that I can approach each and every one of them for anything; personal or educational.
Most importantly, I believe that nothing is better then being Aveda trained and certified! Although I am 24 years old and a college graduate, I am so proud when I tell people that I am now an Aveda Fredric's student.
The energy here at the Aveda Fredric's Institute is incredible. From the students, to the teachers and staff, and of course the clients, you can just feel how excited everyone is to be here! We truly work to help each other every day and I am really looking forward to seeing my classmates throughout the rest of my career as we all lead the way in this industry.
I am proud to be a student at the Aveda Fredric's Institute in Indianapolis. The school offers a professional environment under the leadership of its amazing instructors who want to share their passion for wellness and beauty with the students. I am excited to be a part of the first classes to graduate from the AFI in Indianapolis because the Aveda graduates will make a huge impact in the Salon and Spa businesses in and around Indianapolis. The AFI is a great place to grow and learn!
AFI is amazing! I look forward to coming to school everyday. The instructors are great and they really care about your education, and pushing you to succeed. It's a fun atmosphere and the technology is top notch. The teachers go out of their way and bend over backwards to help you. Each day I learn something new, whether it's about haircuts to learning about bacteria. They make it fun and I never stop learning. When people ask me what school I attend, I am proud to say AFI. I couldn't be any happier right now and I love what I am doing. But most of all the educators are the best because without them we would not be here in this great environment!
You want to know what I think of the AFI? Okay I will tell you! In simple words it's wonderful, fantastic, and superb. Now let me elaborate. I'm still early in my program an already my confidence level had risen tremendously. The energy here is invigorating! Just to be surrounded by these people are these beliefs, it almost leaves me speechless. The instructors know what they are doing, but they just don't do it for us, rather they make sure we have the knowledge to succeed and do it ourselves. Never have I felt so strongly about an establishment and its people. This has got to be the best decision of my life!
My time here at the AFI has already been an amazing experience. From the fellow students to the Instructors. They have a passion for this industry that is like no other. I've went to other schools and from day one the professionalism of this school and instructors put all to shame. The expectations that this school has will elevate you to exceed all expectations of all guests and this industry. The guests that come here get a variety of services that will broaden your horizon to have a confidence in everything you learn. The instructors go above and beyond their call to help you with any question you have. They make sure to let you know they are here for you and make you feel comfortable to ask anything. Not to mention, our faculty which our owner Frederic had built to give us the best possible start for the rest of our life and career in this rewarding industry. If you want an amazing education and want to be surrounded by people who share the same passion for an art that you do, this will be the place for you.
My experience at the AFI has been very positive and rewarding. The staff and instructors go above and beyond when it comes to education. The AFI caters to all learning types giving everyone a well rounded education. I really enjoy coming in everyday.
Growing up I was always styling friend's hair and doing their makeup. I have always had a passion to become a cosmetologist and knew that I would eventually become the best. You education experience and passion are so important in this cutting edge industry. An Aveda Institute was the only place that would give me everything I needed to allow me to achieve my goals. As I was at the Aveda Institute in Minneapolis I learned about the Aveda Fredric's Institute being built here in Castleton. It's the best choice I have ever made. The atmosphere is amazing. The instructors are the best in this industry and the energy is motivating. I am in the middle of the cosmetology program and I feel that I am so knowledgeable that if needed I could be out on the floor of a salon and I've already been offered my dream job. Aveda Fredric's Institute goes beyond expectations in education, products, value added services and experience. I would highly recommend the AFI!
AFI Indianapolis what does it mean to me? It means creative expression, a path to an incredible career and a teaching staff that is out of this world. Not only has the institute given me an excellent skill foundation, it has given me life-long bonds with people who share a common goal with me. To give 100% in my career with continuing education as a necessity to believe in and stand behind the products I sell and to live a healthy well balanced life.
I am very pleased I chose to attend Aveda Fredrics Institute. I appreciate the philosophy behind the company and it’s integrity. I feel I will be very well prepared when I leave here to start my career as an Esthetician and Nail Therapist.
Although I am was not a student at AFI (I don´t even live in The U.S) it`s been such a refresing and invigorating experience reading your posts. Some of you TOUCHED MY HEART. Hopefully I will sonn fulfil my own dream and open the first Aveda Institute and Salon Spa in Mexico. Thank your for your blessings on the matter. My sincere love and respect to you all at AFI: students, staff, teachers and all the people who shares AVEDA´s great vision. You are certainly making a difference in people´s lives, everyday. It feels great to be part of the tribe guys! Feel free to conctact me if coming to mexico, Cuernavaca is a beautiful place to stop by, and Mexico has great vacation spots.
