Made Glow is a Florida beauty marketplace built around independent licensed pros. We'd love to work with Aveda Institute Miami as a post-graduation placement option for the school's licensed alumni — never as a way for current students to accept paid bookings. This is a prospective partnership; we have not yet signed a formal agreement with the school.
The Aveda Institute network is one of the most recognizable cosmetology brands in the country, and the Miami campus serves a diverse, multilingual cohort that mirrors the consumer demand we see across South Florida — from Brickell to Coral Gables to North Miami. Aveda's emphasis on color, finishing, and skincare aligns directly with the highest-demand services in the consumer app: balayage, gloss, blowouts, facials, dermaplane, and brow shaping.
Most newly-licensed cosmetologists from any Miami program face the same crossroads — chair-rental contracts at $200–$600 per week, or freelance hustle through DMs. Made Glow's New Grad program is the third option: a free Pro account, a New Grad badge for 12 months, and a built-in payment, calendar, and messaging stack. We make it easy for Aveda Miami alumni to start booking real, paying clients in days — not months — without the booth-rental gauntlet.
Free Made Glow Pro account on license-issue day. "New Grad" badge in consumer-facing search for the first 12 months post-licensure. 85% of every booking and 100% of tips kept. No booth-rental, no monthly fee, no minimums. Stripe Instant Payouts available after your first verified booking.
Final-term Aveda Miami students can pre-register through /new-grads and have their application held in pending_license_issue status until the state issues their license. From there: Checkr background check, portfolio review, then live within 1–3 business days.
If you head career services at Aveda Institute Miami, the program is free for the school. We come to campus for cohort onboarding (timed for the final term, before the state board exam), provide anonymous outcome reporting back to your team, and offer an optional revenue share on the first 90 days of each grad's bookings.
