Brianna Reed

Bri attended Aveda Institute Portland and graduated in 2013. After that, she worked behind the chair full time for 8 years before dropping down to part time to start teaching. In 2022, she hung up her apron for the last time and shifted her focus solely to education and joined the team at AIP. Her favorite thing about teaching is seeing those "aha" moments where you can tell something finally clicked, as well as seeing students explore their craft to discover their niche. Bri says her favorite accomplishment is "Coming full circle and never giving up in this career/industry. It gets hard sometimes but it is so worth it.
