The Aveda UN|Buttoned Tour features a motivating “Aveda Talk”; learning rotations for career and salon growth; and an evening Aveda Jam that highlights local artists on stage alongside Aveda Global Artistic team members. A Business Forum for Aveda network members will also be held, providing intel on future programs of the brand.
Aveda Talk
At “Aveda Talk”, salon owners, managers, artists and institute students share their rich stories and passions with their fellow artists. “‘Aveda Talk’ is the true voice of the network, personal stories from our Artists in relation to achievement, wellness, art, philanthropy and so much more,” says Ali Yanez, Director of North America Education at Aveda.
Aveda Jam
Local Aveda artists showcase their talents and techniques in a fun, vibrant night club setting. New artists are encouraged to jump into the spotlight, sharing their passion and technical expertise with the Aveda family.
Business Forum
Aveda-affiliated attendees will be invited to the Business Forum where the brand will reveal its latest initiatives and strategies. Attendees will also learn more about the application tools we’ve created just for them to help grow their businesses.
