We have something to admit... we have missed you! When one of our graduates pops in for a visit the staff is always so excited to hear what you’re up to and see you looking all grown up! Besides graduation it is probably one of our favorite moments! To see more of you we celebrated with our first ever Alumni Day! We knew we would be thrilled with whoever could make it in but boy we were surprised how much fun we had! All day long graduates from all different years snuck in to catch up, get a sweet product discount and special alumni only gift, cause we kind of love ya! And it was THE. BEST. DAY!!!!

Hello Old Friends

It was so awesome to see the faces that came through our door. Some of you brought your babies (an AIP favorite!) and Maresah ever brought in her Mama, because as she said, they started her beauty school journey off together when they toured the school. So, it made sense to come back and celebrate together! Every Alumni was greeted with a hug and we were thrilled to see you back! Many of you could wait to see us too! By the time Cody and Elizabeth rolled in Instructor Beatrice was at lunch, but these two were determined to see one of their faves and waited it out!​

Stocking Up

We celebrated the occasion with a 40%off discount on all product! Giving alumni the chance to stock up on all their Aveda favorites. And stock up you did!! We are looking at you Wyatt, who purchased every Air Control we had on the shelf! We also gifted those who came in with an AIP Alumni shirt of their very own because to us you will always be family and you will always be welcomed in our doors!!

The Ones to Watch

We are so inspired by the places you go! Some of you stay right here in PDX while others venture out farther. Some of you own your own business while others are in love with your salon/spa team. Every alumni that came in had the opportunity to be part of a blog series documenting their journey. We have some amazing stories to tell. Stay tuned for blogs featuring the many amazing paths our graduates have taken and get ready to be inspired!​

Stay in Touch! AIP Alumni are always welcomed back! Alumni needing job placement can reach out to our student services      ([email protected]) department for assitance and any AIP graduate can come to our bi-annual carrer fair!!
