If you are passionate about hair, wild about nails, or have a knack for makeup application, you could be ready for beauty school! At both Aveda Institute Boise and Aveda Institute Twin Falls, we would love to meet individuals who have real talent and are passionate about beauty.
Both of our Idaho campuses deliver hands-on learning experiences in a supportive, real-world environment, so students can get actual experience that prepares them for the beauty industry. We use naturally-derived, sustainable Aveda beauty products and tools because we care about the people and world around us, just like you do! Get started on your enrollment journey, and remember that our admissions team is happy to help you along the way.
We have a few simple steps that you need to follow as you complete your enrollment process. We would love to help you complete the process.
Getting a personal tour of the school of your choice is one of the most important aspects of your enrollment journey. When you are ready to see either the Boise or Twin Falls campus, contact us, and we will set up a time for you to tour the school. The campus is where you will be spending much of your time as a beauty school student, so we want to be sure you are comfortable with the overall environment. During the personal tour, you can learn more about your program of interest, interact with our instructors, meet current students, and discuss financial options with a financial aid representative. If you have questions, be sure to ask, because this is the perfect time to get them answered!
We do not want financial concerns to get between you and your dream education at Aveda Institute Boise or Aveda Institute Twin Falls. Our school offers financial aid to those who qualify. Our full set of financial aid options includes scholarships and aid for U.S. military veterans.
To get a jumpstart on a customized financial aid package, fill out the FAFSA® (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). This is a free financial aid application to determine eligibility for federal student aid. We encourage everyone who wishes to enroll in our school to fill it out to see if they qualify for any kind of federal aid, even if they believe they will not qualify for anything. Having all the details from the completed FAFSA® helps our team quickly determine personalized financing and program options.
When filling out the FAFSA®, include the appropriate school code:
041767 (Aveda Institute Boise) or 009873 (Aveda Institute Twin Falls)
If you have any questions or need help with your FAFSA® application, please call your closest campus and ask for financial aid assistance.
We want to make sure that we are admitting the individuals who are deeply committed to beginning and finishing one of our programs. To help showcase your commitment to an education in hair, skin, nails, and more, we ask all applicants to submit an essay or similar project as part of the application process.
Accepted formats for the application essay include:
The format matters less than showing us that you are creative, serious about your future at our school, and excited to join the beauty industry. This is your opportunity to let your personality and passion shine!

This is our favorite part because we get the amazing honor of welcoming rising stars to our cosmetology school family. We can’t wait to see you!
No, nearly all of our programs are meant for students with no prior beauty industry experience. However, if you would like to enroll in our Instructor Program, you must have a current Idaho license for cosmetology.
Of course! Although many of our students are fresh out of high school, beauty school could be the perfect opportunity for a more experienced adult to change their career path or gain a fresh perspective on the beauty industry. We enroll students of all ages.
If you are unsure which beauty school program is right for you, we encourage you to contact us. We can answer your questions about individual programs, tell you a little more about the types of learning experiences each program offers, and schedule a campus tour, so you can see current students in the various programs and talk to our instructors. We think you will have a better idea of where you fit in after a talk and tour!
Our beauty program curriculum is designed to give students the knowledge and skills they need to be successful in a beauty career after graduation. We can’t guarantee employment, but we do teach business and marketing skills that help prepare students for a career in the beauty industry.
