The Ávida Beauty Academy is quietly nestled in the small Hampshire town of Stockbridge, in the heart of the Test Valley. The beauty academy can boast the delightful combination of modern facilities in a lovingly restored listed barn which is full of charm and character.

We are a small, private school offering a personal approach to adult beauty and holistic training. Our staff and tutors are very friendly and happy to assist you, whether it is to introduce you to the world of health and beauty or further your existing career. Our lessons have a relaxed, yet highly professional atmosphere.

Our flexible, modern teaching methods are designed to keep up with the rapidly expanding holistic and beauty profession. We specialize in teaching short, intensive VTCT modular courses to both absolute beginners and qualified therapists adding to their list of skills. The Ávida Beauty Academy's sister company is the bodybarn.com, our successful and exclusive salon, so you can be confident that we are passing on the latest information and techniques in the beauty and holistic industry.
