What is your most memorable moment at Douglas J?
Getting my pin for being with the company for five years. When I first started, I always looked up to people who had their pin and felt like they worked for Douglas J forever and were so much wiser — and then I became one of those people!

- Kaeyt Rudawski, Salon Director

I feel that I have learned so much from attending Douglas J and that I can take my techniques and experiences I had there to my current job.

- Hilary Butler, Douglas J Aveda Institute Graduate

What is your most memorable moment?
When I was an apprentice at the Okemos salon, TJ Weaver, the founder’s son, asked me what I wanted to do with my career. I said I wanted to run the salon and I needed him to tell me how to get there. His answer was, work hard, put myself in a position to be noticed and take every opportunity that comes across my path, no matter how intimidating.

- Sarah Heath, Salon Director and Douglas J Aveda Institute Graduate

Every day on the clinic floor it felt like you were working in a real salon because of how fast paced it was. I think that prepared me well for time management.

- Nadine Bos, Douglas J Aveda Institute Graduate

Choosing to train with Douglas J is not just attending cosmetology school, it's the first step in building a career.
