A professional appearance includes: a. The uniform provided in the student s kit is to be clean, neat and worn during all classroom and clinic-floor hours. It should not be torn, stained or altered. If it does not meet these standards, the student has 24 hours to replace it from Aveda at the student s expense.

Official Aveda shirts that are black are acceptable. b. Identification badges are to be worn as issued during all clocked hours to identify students to clients. If badge is lost, the student must replace it immediately at a cost of $10. c. Footwear should be professional in appearance and worn at all times. No flip flops or tennis shoes are allowed. d.

Students who, in the reasonable determination of Aveda Institute Des Moines, are not dressed professionally will be dismissed. 22 23
To help prepare you for the workplace, Aveda Institute operates much like a professional salon environment. Late arrivals, absences and other interruptions in your training have a significant effect on your achievement just as they would if you were an employee in a salon, day spa or other professional environment. By law, we must keep track of your training hours for licensure or certification. 2 Students are expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner at all times and be mindful of the following: a.

Minor Standard Suspension Students who are suspended by the Review Board have up to 30 days to provide the Board documentation that the stipulations have been met. Once the Review Board has agreed that the student is prepared to comply with the professional standards of the school, the student may return to school; however, a record of suspension will be recorded in the student s permanent file. While a student is suspended, no clock hours may be earned, and tuition charges are suspended. If a student on suspension fails to respond in 30 days, the student is automatically terminated.
