Product placement

Aveda Institute - Cosmetology 1500: This is a school program that the creator is completing. It ACTS as the context for the creator's journey and is the subject of the video's narrative. Removing it would change the entire meaning of the video. The app interface shows program hours and checklists, which are features of the school program. The app itself ACTS as a tool to track progress in the program. Removing it would mean the creator couldn't show their progress.
