Following the temporary closure of salons, Aveda, the high-performance hair care brand with a mission of care, announces phase 2.0 of their Aveda Cares salon support plan.

Rebuild + Support

Aveda previously put a robust, long term recovery plan in place to help rebuild, support and care for their independently owned salons into the ‘new normal’. From extensive virtual education to two industry first initiatives; Salon A-commerce and Powered by Flossie, the Aveda Cares Support Plan ensures its salons partners have the tools they need to emerge from the temporary closures.

Together 

“Care is at the heart of our mission and as we enter into a new period of change following the temporary closure of salons regionally, we want our salon and Aveda artists to know that we are here for them. To care, to listen and to support each other and our consumers as we navigate these times together,” – Luke Evans, Vice President General Manager UK & Ireland: Aveda/
