Winter Park-Super stocked Aveda store located next to their institute. Everybody in the store was very helpful and gave us all kinds of good information regarding different products. We will be back!

Got there and was greeted right away. I was told there were no appts today, but I could do a consultation. Well, ended up having my hair done. They said my hair is very healthy and beautiful. Hearing that made my day They recommended a trim and a botanical mask. They loved everything about my hair and did not want to cut it. The personnel is friendly and seem very genuine. They ask questions and take your answers and comments into consideration when giving you hair advice. The vibe is pretty relaxed, but also busy and loud. Awesome prices for all of their services.

DO NOT COME HERE! Came here for the first time to check it out and maybe get a blowout but when I walked through the school there was water leaking from the ceiling with trash cans to catch it and they still made the students work right next to it! Not to mention the smell in this place smelled like a sewer. I thought because it was Aveda it had to be nice but I was extremely disappointed. Can't imagine being a student here.

What a waste of $25,000. There's lots of drama with young inexperienced teachers. Save your money!

Ask the Community - Aveda Institute - Orlando

Has anyone got a perm here?

Never

Do they sell the Aveda line products at the school? Am I able to walk in and buy something I saw on the Aveda websites?

Yes, they have all the Aveda products that were available at the Florida Mall site before it closed. You can just walk in and purchase the products (which are on display similar to the Florida Mall store) at the entrance.

I love massages. But my budget doesn't love the price tag. I'd had student massages when I lived in…read moreGainesville, and was so excited when I found somewhere in Orlando that had the option. You just can't beat a $25 50-minute massage. My husband and I registered for Sunday appointments, but there are options on Sundays, Mondays, and Thursdays at 1 and 2pm. When we arrived, there was a very smooth check in process and we just had to fill out a quick questionnaire about our wellness, experience with massages, injuries. and preferences. We were then each assigned a student. He got a female and I had a male student. Both were very professional, reviewed our charts with us, asked the right questions, and helped us transition from the changing room to the tables (which was a strange process I'll tell you about later.) The massages take place in a room with twelve massage tables and partitions. It's pretty quiet for the most part, but not everyone starts at the same time so there was quite a bit of noise at the end when others were finishing earlier before us. The massages themselves were great! They were just as good as what I'd expect to pay full price for at a chain massage spa. The students adjusted to any preferences or comments that I had, and were very attentive to my requests. I think sometimes a student massage can be even better than a professional massage because they're trying to hard to get it just right for you, and really putting in a conscious effort. I have nothing but great things to say about the quality of my massage, and my husband agreed about his! However, this was between a 4 and 5 star review for me. The reason I almost docked a star is the awkward and somewhat-uncomfortable undressing/dressing process. Because the massage studio isn't private, you have to get changed in either the bathroom or one of the breakrooms, then walk to the massage table through a room of people wrapped in a towel. The student are super skilled at making sure that nobody sees your bits and pieces, but it still takes away from the overall experience. However, it's totally understandable that they are doing their best given the facilities and they do truly do a great job. Thus, a 5 star experience due to massage quality, professionalism, and value. Highly recommend!

The school offers the students a clean, friendly and stress free learning environment. This is…read moresimply a great school! En OSTMY se habla español!

READ THIS BEFORE YOU APPLY TO THE LPN PROGRAM…read more I am making this post because I don't want anyone else having to go into this Without knowing exactly what this program and school are like. 1. If you are expecting to pay for someone to actually teach you, this is not the place for you. The teachers here literally do not want to teach, probably because they have no idea how to. Only one of the actually cared, and when she lectured, we actually learned and had class discussions about the topics at hand. The rest would either A) split up part of a chapter and have the class make posters all day and then present to the class, B)split up a chapter (med surg chapters, so think disorders, nursing interventions, and meds, pretty important stuff that I don't believe students who have no prior knowledge or experience should be teaching other students in the same class, isn't that why the instructors are there for?) C) get the senior class to teach it to the class behind them. There were unfortunately very few times that we got a lecture. 2. The head teacher is a bully, and she likes to play favorites. Lord help you if you get on her bad side. Singles out students, makes fun of them, talks about them to OTHER STUDENTS behind their backs. Certain rules apply to certain students but not others because she likes them. If you end up enrolling, do not trust her. She likes to power trip. A lot. If she doesn't get her way, she will play dirty till she does, and all the other teachers, including people above her seem scared of her for some reason. 3. Grades are messed with. Again, if you do or say anything that upsets a certain someone, grades mysteriously suffer. Doesn't help that you cannot see your test grades unless you fail it. So you never really ever know what you got wrong. And this isn't just coming from student experience. People in the office warned us about her and the grades. 4. They are just as bad at teaching skills as they are lecturing. Complete disorganization. No demonstrations. We were told to read the book and figure it out. If we asked them a question, they would yell at us to look in the book. It was all in the book. The book was our teacher. Are you doing it wrong? Who knows? We can't ask the book questions, can we? Some students asked if they could please demonstrate for the class first and then have us practice, they would say no. "That's not the way it works in the real world" or "no one is going to show you how to do this in the hospital, if you don't know, you have to go and figure it out". Yeeeaaa... pretty sure patients and their families don't want you to "figure it out" at the hospital, but ok. 5. Speaking of skills, let's talk about clinicals. So, you learned all these skills in class, and clinical is the time to get your hands dirty and reinforce the skills you learned, right? Nope! Can't give shots, can't pass med, can't take vitals, can't do anything, except practice CNA skills. We saw other nursing students from other schools get assigned to a nurse and do everything with the RN, but not us. We were not allowed to. 6. The school administration is a joke. They knew about the bullying, they knew about the retaliation, they knew absolutely everything that was going on upstairs, but they didn't care. Kept telling us that they were working on fixing the situation, nothing ever happened. They don't care. I have never in my life seen more incompetent people working in a school than this one. 7. Although the school promotes itself as a "college", expect to be treated like a middle schooler. While I do understand that there are dual enrollment students at the school (high schoolers), that is no reason to treat grown adult student like children. You will be talked down to. A LOT. Literally no respect whatsoever. Sometimes you even forget that you are an adult in this place. Valencia and Seminole also have dual enrollment, and everyone is treated in a professional manner, regardless of your age, so that is no excuse. 8. Disorganization rules this school. In the class, downstairs, everywhere. Tests are announced last minute, or you are given literally days to read and learn a whole med surg chapter (50-90+ pages each). 9. Let's talk pharmacology. Very important in nursing. We never ever ever EVER had a single pharmacology lecture. AT ALL! Never! All we got were packets. That's it. So that pharm class on your class schedule, forget about it. Doesn't exist. The meds we did learn, we learned in the med surg chapters. That was the extent of our exposure to pharm. I wanted to write this so other people know exactly what they are getting into, because I wish I had known, so I could have made an informed decision ( run for the hills!). There was so very little information available, and had I known about the toxic environment that I would be getting myself into, I would have never ever gone to this "college".

I am a student at the Avalon campus & really enjoy the Web Design program. I started in November of…read more2010 & have been a full time student since then with a break over the summer. I have learned so much!!! A great program that is self taught so if you are used to instructors teaching you than this program isn't for you. It's a very fast & cheap program for Web Design with great results.
