Aveda Institute Portland offers two beautiful campuses located a mere 10 miles from one another. Those ten miles are separated by a state line (Oregon & Washington).
When determining which campus is best for you, a student should feel comfortable that both campuses offer the same core curriculum, technology, and tools. In addition, both campuses follow the Aveda Mission & beliefs. The main point of difference in selecting a campus is the required program hours and the desired state you plan to license in. For example the Cosmetology program hours vary from 1835 in Oregon and 1600 in Washington.
