Cutting Edge Beauty & Massage Training Community

You may have already heard that we are different from your average beauty school!  We are a community of fashion-forward, student-centric visionaries who are fanatically passionate about supporting Austin’s thriving beauty and wellness industry—from North Austin to South Austin. Our progressive, modern, comprehensive training programs and advanced education courses include:

  •     Haircare
  •     Massage Therapy
  •     Skincare
  •     Makeup Artistry

Founded in 2007 by a native Austinite, Avenue Five Institute continues to grow and thrive alongside our current students and alumni. How, you wonder, does a school remain relevant in an industry that’s always changing?  We evolve and embrace the latest trends, techniques and technologies that our industry is adopting.

Our goal is to prepare students for a future career where they feel confident rocking their skills, both creatively and professionally. We do this by:

  •     Partnering with the right beauty industry experts, organizations, and brands
  •     Forming relationships with our community here in Austin, and beyond
  •     Providing opportunities for hands-on learning in a fully-equipped Student Spa, Salon & Massage Clinic
  •      Nationally accredited. Accredited by the National Accrediting Commission of Career Arts & Sciences, Inc.  
  •     And, most importantly, focusing on our students above all else

Avenue Five - Testimonial that says - I called the salons I wanted to work for and asked them - if you were to go back and do it again, where would you go to school - and the salons said - I'd go back to Avenue Five"
