The Aveda Institute Columbus is an affiliate training location that also offers salon and spa services with Aveda products. The Institute is located at 1618 Neil Ave. in Columbus (614) 291-2421.

The Aveda Institute Columbus has volunteered to raise donations during April and May 2007 for Ohio Sierra Club clean water work.

Aveda hopes to raise $30,000 through donated tips, a percentage of appointments, “Jeans for Greens”, and a fashion event on Tuesday May 8. Earth Jam 07 Fashion Night will take place at the Drexel Gateway Theater Conference Center; 1550 North High St. in Columbus. There will be models presenting student fashion creations, an art auction, and a fashion team from New York. Tickets are $25 in advance and $35 at the door (VIP tickets are $50/$75). For advance tickets call 614-291-2421 ext. 1100. Doors will open at 6 pm and the fashion show starts at 7 pm.

Aveda contacted Ohio Sierra Club because of our clean water work in Central Ohio. Donations that Aveda raises will enable the Sierra Club to continue clean water work in the future. We are excited to have a great partner that supports our work. Consider going to Aveda Institute to get that shampoo, cut, facial, manicure, makeup advice, or body/skin work (see website and telephone above).

Come to the Earth Jam Fashion Night on Tuesday May 8. See you there!
