AVEDA X YAWANAWÁ

A LONG-STANDING PARTNERSHIP

Exclusive Yawanawá-designed Holiday packaging, Yawanawá-inspired gifts and a limited-edition, co-created aroma

Giving back:

  • As part of our Holiday 2026 campaign, Aveda will donate $50,000 to the Yawanawá community.

  • Aveda will compensate the Yawanawá for the packaging design. 

CONNECTING TO THE CIRCLE‍ ‍

The circle is deeply meaningful to the Yawanawa community, symbolizing unity, spirituality, and the circle of life. It reflects their belief that all things seen and unseen are interconnected. As a sacred gathering space for rituals and ceremonies, the circle represents harmony, balance, equality, and the continuous flow of life through birth, death, and rebirth.

HOLIDAY AT THE LEARNING WALL

Your conversation with the guest is key! Make sure your guests know they are in good hands. A thoughtful consultation is important so the advisor/stylist can guide the guest to the right gifts. Let’s break it down step by step.

  • Make it easy and personal.

    • “Who are you shopping for
      this holiday?”

    • “Tell me about their
      hair/skin/self-care routine.”

    • “Are you looking for something quick and ready-to-gift, or
      more personalized?”

    • “What is your ideal price range?”

  • • For anyone (easy wins):

    Body care sets

    Hand Relief™ or Foot Relief™

    • For hair results:

    Hair care gift sets

    Styling + treatment sets

    • For self-care/wellness:

    Aromas + candles

    Ritual-inspired gifts

    Scripting suggestions:

    This is one of our most giftable sets—super easy and universally loved.

    This is perfect if they want [hydration, relaxation, etc.].

    • Keep it short.

      Scripting suggestions:
      “This Holiday collection is inspired by Aveda’s partnership with the Yawanawá community.”

      “It’s more than a gift—it’s a meaningful ritual experience.”

  • Add ONE simple upgrade.

    Option 1: Complete the ritual.
    “    Let’s pair this with a candle or aroma to elevate the experience.”

    Option 2: Add a personal touch. “We can customize this with a gift box, ribbon and tag.”

    Option 3: Expand the set.
    “We can add a small add-on like travel-size Hand Relief™ to make it feel more complete.”

  • Keep it natural.

    You might say:

    “This is ready to gift and covers everything they’ll need.”

    “I can show you how to present it—it’s really beautiful.”
