Edwin Neill, the CEO of Aveda Arts & Sciences Institutes and President of the Neill Corporation, was awarded the Changemaker of the Year award for his unrelenting advocacy for textured hair education and diversity in the beauty industry. Neill is a frequent speaker on this topic and has worked with many state officials for more inclusive licensing support. In his current role as the Chairman of the Louisiana Board of Cosmetology, he was instrumental in the state including textured haircare on the state licensing exam, thereby requiring all cosmetology schools in the state to include it in their curriculum. This change cemented Louisiana’s place in the history books as the first state to require textured hair education (NPR). Now, other states are following suit.
“We are honored to receive these awards from BeautyMatter, an important media voice in our industry,” said Neill. “They are a testament to our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and to our mission of providing the highest quality education to our students. We are proud to be a force for good in the world.”
