Aveda™,
The Art and Science of Pure Flower
and Plant Essences™, was founded
in 1978 with the goal of providing
beauty industry professionals with
high performance, botanically based
products that would be better for
service providers and their guests,
as well as for the planet.
Aveda manufactures professional
plant-based hair care, skin care,
makeup, Pure-Fume™ and lifestyle
products. Headquartered in Blaine,
Minnesota, Aveda is available in
Aveda stores, and in nearly 7,000

BEAUTY IS AS BEAUTY DOES
Aveda, who partners with salon and
spa professionals around the world,
sees beauty as a craft, not as a
product result. Aveda beauty professionals
are unique in the industry for their
pursuit of a higher art: helping
make their clients not only look
beautiful, but feel beautiful. This
quest to bring out the beauty in
their client through genuine care,
differs from beauty industry norms.
|
Empowered
by its unique Mission, Aveda believes
that authentic beauty is
one
that works in harmony with the greater
web of life. It does not qualify as beauty
if it hurts any of the diverse life forms
that the best beauty artist of all, Nature,
created. Authentic Beauty cares for the
environment which we inherited from elders
and will leave to generations that follow
us. Beauty cares for the society in which
we live, enhancing harmony in the way
we live and interact with one another
as human beings. In order to be Beauty,
it also needs to be Good. Beauty is the
result, but also the process followed
in pursuing that result.
Said simply, Beauty Is As Beauty Does.

The Founder
Horst M. Rechelbacher an Austrian, served
his apprenticeship in the beauty salon
trade and at just 17, went on to work
in a fashionable salon in Italy. He was
very talented and won many European hairstyling
competitions.
He eventually settled in the United States
and opened his first salon, "Horst & Friends".
Following a trip to Tibet and India studying
meditation, he started making plant based
beauty products at home and sold them
in his salons. He founded Aveda to sell
the products more widely and the rest,
as they say, is history.
"Our mission at Aveda is to care for the
world we live in, from the products we
make to the ways in which we give back
to society. At Aveda, we strive to set
an example for the environmental
leadership
and responsibility - not just in
the world of beauty, but around
the world."
