Professional Salon Training from a Professional Salon Owner

Aveda Institute Boise and Aveda Institute Twin Falls were founded on the idea that beauty education is best delivered by those with actual professional beauty knowhow. As salon owners themselves, our owners, Nathan and Ren Shaw, were inspired to transform beauty education after struggling to hire for their salon, The Electric Chair. To realize their vision of a beauty school that delivers beauty education for the future, Nathan and Ren worked hands-on with educators and students to create a student experience that is second to none.

We believe our ownership truly sets us apart from other beauty schools. Here at Aveda Institute Boise and Twin Falls, you can expect to learn the art and science of beauty in programs that were thoughtfully put together by professionals who know intimately what technical and soft skills are required to succeed in the industry today and tomorrow.

Curriculum That Does More

We think that the old adage—that beauty school teaches you to pass your boards but not become a practicing beauty professional—points to the ways in which traditional beauty education lets students down. Incoming students are innovative, inspired, and ready to make a difference. Our job is to shape this passion and talent into the next wave of beauty pros: individuals who know more than the basics of beauty and are actually equipped to open their own salon or run a beauty business. Our programs include a solid grounding in business, marketing promotion, and other skills you’ll need to make beauty a successful career.

Our training opportunities don’t stop at graduation day. We bring in advanced classes for our graduates and other licensed professionals. Whether you come for advanced hair cutting classes, Bella Lash eyelash extension certification, or Makeup Designory (MUD) makeup artistry, our advanced training will keep you current with your craft and provide additional ways for you to expand the services you offer clients.

Financial Aid

Difficulty funding your education doesn’t have to block your road to a bright future. Aveda Institute Boise and Aveda Institute Twin Falls offer financial aid to those who qualify in many of our programs. Contact us for more info and to learn about your financial aid eligibility.
