Big news for beauty and wellness education in Idaho: Aveda Institute Boise and Aveda Institute Twin Falls have officially become Nathan Layne Institute Boise and Nathan Layne Institute Twin Falls.
Nathan Layne Institute reflects the identity we’ve built, our continued investment in beauty education, and our vision for the future.
Our Nathan Layne Institute campuses at Boise and Twin Falls now join the original flagship Nathan Layne Institute at Pocatello (Chubbuck).
A New Name, an Exciting New Chapter
This new name marks a fresh chapter for both campuses, but the heart of what makes them special hasn’t changed a bit. Our schools offer:
- The same high standards
- The same hands-on education
- The same dedicated instructors
- The same passion for our students and their success
For years, students at both locations have built the foundation for successful careers in cosmetology, esthetics, and related fields. That commitment to hands-on training, industry-relevant skills, and a supportive campus community continues under the Nathan Layne Institute name. Students can expect the same rigorous programs, the same great instructors and staff, and the same welcoming environment they’ve always known — just with a new name on the door.
What also won’t change is the philosophy that has always set these campuses apart: learning beauty from actual beauty professionals. Nathan Layne Institute’s educators aren’t just teachers — they’re working pros who bring real salon and industry experience into every classroom and clinic floor session. That hands-on, learn-from-the-pros approach is central to what Nathan Layne Institute stands for, and it’s exactly what students can count on going forward.
“This rebrand isn’t about changing who we are. Instead, it’s about stepping into an identity that truly reflects the passion and dedication we bring to educating the next generation of beauty professionals,” says Nathan Shaw, owner of Nathan Layne Institute. “Our students, our instructors, and our programs are what make these campuses great, and none of that has changed. We’re incredibly proud to carry that forward under our own name.”
Program Continuity for Students
Prospective and current students shouldn’t expect any disruption to their education. Programs, schedules, campus locations, and — most importantly — the instructors and staff who guide students every day remain exactly as they were. Whether you’re enrolled at the Boise campus or the Twin Falls campus (or Pocatello, for that matter), you’ll continue to learn from experienced beauty professionals dedicated to helping you build real, career-ready skills.
What’s Next
Current students do not need to take any action — enrollment, class schedules, and campus locations remain unchanged. In the upcoming days, students and clients will see updated signage, materials, and branding reflecting the Nathan Layne Institute name across both campuses.
As Nathan Layne Institute Boise and Nathan Layne Institute Twin Falls move forward under their new name, students, alumni, and the local community can expect the same career-focused training and hands-on, pro-led education that has defined these campuses for years.
“We’re as excited as ever to welcome students to this path of career education,” says Steve Kicklighter, campus director of the Boise campus of Nathan Layne Institute. “The name above the door may be new, but the mission inside, and the people behind it, aren’t skipping a beat.”
