Rizzieri, which revolutionized the beauty culture in the Garden State and beyond, proudly announces its 100th anniversary. Since opening their first cosmetology school in 1924, the Rizzieri family has set the standard in education, excellence, and expansion in the beauty industry and has paved the way for generations of skilled stylists and barbers nationwide.

Founded by Franco Cipriotti in 1924 and now helmed by his award-winning celebrity stylist grandson, Frank Rizzieri, the school began as Maison de Paris in Philadelphia, later relocating to New Jersey and becoming the revered Rizzieri Aveda School and Salons & Spas. Franco's dedication and resilience laid a strong foundation for the family business that continues today.

"Being a part of building this business and educating the next generation of talent, while rooted in the values instilled in me from my grandparents and parents, has been a great honor of mine," states Frank Rizzieri. "Celebrating 100 years of excellence in education, multiple expansions, and investment in the beauty industry, we share this milestone with the thousands of graduates and teachers, our incredible partners and team members who have all played a part in creating the legacy."

With a century of experience and innovation behind them, the Rizzieri family remains committed to continuing their legacy of excellence and looks forward to many more years of serving their community and advancing the beauty industry.

Located in Voorhees, New Jersey, Rizzieri Aveda School offers top-notch education in cosmetology, skin care, barbering, manicuring, advanced programs, and more. The 14,500 square foot state-of-the-art campus features a dynamic blend of classroom and clinical environments, enhanced with both digital and hands-on training, to ensure students are thoroughly prepared as beauty professionals.

To further support students in achieving their educational and professional goals, the Rizzieri Aveda School provides a range of scholarship opportunities, including the Franco Cipriotti Scholarship, the General Rizzieri Aveda School Scholarship, the Rizzieri High School Scholarship, and more.

For certified stylists looking to elevate their skills, the Rizzieri Advanced Academy provides advanced education in skin, makeup, medical aesthetics, and hair, offering professionals the chance to refine, expand, and  grow their expertise. Additionally, Rizzieri runs the Rizzieri Skin Studio and Franco's Barbering, with continued influence by Sal and Anna Rizzieri, Frank's parents.

“As we celebrate 100 years of the Rizzieri legacy, I’m reminded of how our family’s passion for beauty and education has paved the way for countless professionals in this industry. My grandfather laid the foundation with a vision for excellence, and over the decades, we've continued to innovate, expand, and elevate beauty education. This centennial milestone honors not only our history but the incredible students, staff, and partners who have been part of this journey. We are excited for the next century of shaping the future of beauty.” - Frank Rizzieri
