2. AVEDA History
Aveda (pronounced ah-vay-da) was founded by Horst Rechelbacher in In 1970, Horst, on a trip to India, was introduced to the science of Ayurveda (the Hindu traditional holistic system of medicine and surgery from India), and suddenly his vision for his company was born.
In Horst’s salons he found that the skill-set was poor coming out of the traditional beauty schools and there was no attention to the overall service culture. Horst wanted to create a service culture to support his high end salon level of work, therefore started his own beauty school, in He called it Horst Education Center and it later became the first Aveda Institute.
Currently there are over 60+ AVEDA Institutes across the country.  AVEDA Institutes in Florida is part of AVEDA Institutes South with 20 Institutes ranging from Texas to Washington DC.
