Bio:
AUSTIN CALL
Following in his family's footsteps, Austin attended Gary Manuel
Aveda Institute in Seattle, WA after he graduated high school.
He worked at his father’s salon, Jax Salon + Spa, for the next
five years. Uninspired by hair, Austin began a new degree in
aeronautical studies in hopes of becoming a flight tower controller
one day. After attending Aveda Congress in 2011, he was inspired
by the Artistic Team and realized his dream was to one day be on
stage to inspire and educate other hairdressers. Within a year, he moved to New York and began his career
over again as an assistant at Aveda West Broadway. On weekends, he volunteered his time supporting the
Advanced Academy classes and directly training under Ricardo Dinis, Ian Michael Black, Lupe Voss and
Allen Ruiz. While living in New York, he had the opportunity to assist on multiple photo shoots, including
Aveda collections with the Artistic Team. Austin also freelanced for companies such as Refinery 29,
creating how-to hair looks for current blog entries. He has also assisted and led his own teams during New
York Fashion Week for the last ten seasons, including several corporate shows with Antoinette Beenders and
Allen Ruiz.
Moving back home from New York, he has had the opportunity to work with his father before he retires, as
well as became the Education Director at Jax Salon + Spa where he has created his own successful
curriculum for incoming assistants. Education is his passion, and Austin is honored to now be an Aveda
Cutting PurefessionalTM.
