Jackie Galapon ~ 5stars

My experience at the IBC was absolutely amazing. Starting with Annette who accepted my transfer from another Esthetician school. The administration is very professional and care about their students and their success. My instructor Lorie was very knowledgeable and was a pleasure to learn from. She made my time at the school a pleasant one. I learned a lot in theory as the curriculum prepared me for my state boards in which I received a 98%. I can’t say enough about this school. If you’re thinking about enrolling, you should absolutely do it.

I’ve had the best experience with institute of beauty culture not only once but twice! I’m now a licensed manicurist and a licensed esthetician! The owners and instructors are so sweet and truly wants you to succeed. They give you all the tools but you have to put in the work and let me tell you…Im forever grateful! The school has literally changed my life and for my family.
