Testimonials

See what students and graduates have to say about their experiences AIB!

Mrs. Stephanie is an amazing instructor. She is extremely patient, and she makes sure that no one is left behind. She wants all her students to become successful. I do feel like as her student, I will become successful. I did a facial on a client today and she told me in front of my class that I have a bright future because she felt so satisfied with my service. Nothing makes me happier then having a happy client. I know that feeling too well since I do makeup for weddings on weekends. Making many people feel this happy too is the most honorable feeling. With Mrs. Stephanie, she made me feel like I am just as good esthetician as I am a makeup artist. To feel comfortable in your service. Also shout out to Claudia who did a first time facial on me. Girl you rocked it! My skin looked so beautiful thanks to you and Mrs. Stephanie’s knowledge.~Kat R. Clinical Skin Care Graduate

I currently attend AIB in the Full Specialist program and it has been everything I expected and more! I came for the aestheticians course but completely fell in love with NAILS special thanks to Ms. Mare, her passion for nails and her expertise really inspired me to want to be a professional nail tech along with being an aesthetician. I’m forever thankful!~Tahnijah B. Full Specialist Student

As a former and returning student at AIB, I must say I have very much enjoyed my experience here. The school has gone above and beyond to help me succeed and I feel they genuinely care about my future as a professional. The instructors as well as our director all provide a fun, pleasant, and welcoming learning environment- while taking the time to make sure we are confident in our knowledge and skills. The office staff is also very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this school to anyone serious about a career in the beauty industry.~Summer S. Skin Care Graduate

Today, we’re celebrating 3 amazing years of Asia at AIB!❤️As our day Skin Care Educator at the St. Pete campus, Asia has spent the last three years helping future professionals turn their interest in skin care into the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to begin building careers of their own. Being an educator is about so much more than teaching what’s in a textbook. It’s answering the questions, demonstrating a technique one more time, celebrating the moments when everything finally clicks, and encouraging future professionals through every step of their journey. Over the past three years, Asia has been there for so many of those moments🎓️✨ With every class she teaches and every future professional she guides, Asia is helping shape the next generation of skin care professionals and leaving her mark on an industry she loves. The knowledge and encouragement she shares in the classroom today will continue forward through the careers of the future professionals she’s helped prepare💆‍♀️ Asia, thank you for three years of dedication to your future professionals, your program, and our St. Pete campus. We’re so grateful to have you as part of the AIB family and to celebrate this milestone with you! Happy 3-Year AIB Anniversary, Asia!🎉🥳 Here’s to the future professionals you’ve already impacted and all those still to come! 🥂❤️
Today, we celebrate the hard work, dedication, and passion that keep our communities moving forward❤️💙🤍 From the professionals already making their mark to the future professionals working toward the careers they love, we’re proud to recognize the talent, creativity, and commitment behind every craft.

There’s always more to learn behind the chair✂️ Our St. Pete Cosmetology and Barbering future professionals recently had the opportunity to learn from Ashly Rose (@scissorsandash) during a special education class presented by @hanzonation!💈 Ashly joined our classes for hands-on haircutting education, demonstrating two different layered cuts—one with longer layers and one with a shorter, more shaped finish. Throughout each demo, she broke down the techniques behind creating a well-balanced haircut, showing our future professionals how to strategically remove weight, build movement, and use different types of shears to achieve the desired result. Beyond the finished cuts, Ashly gave our future professionals a closer look at how the right tool, and knowing how and when to use it, can completely change the way a haircut comes together💇‍♀️ A huge thank you to Ashly Rose and Hanzo Shears for spending time with our St. Pete future professionals and sharing your skills, wisdom, and passion for the craft!❤️ We’re grateful for every opportunity that brings industry education directly into our classrooms and gives our future professionals another chance to learn, ask questions, and continue sharpening their skills✨
That’s a wrap on AIB’s FIRST Back-to-School Savings Week!🎒✂️ What started as a way to help local families prepare for a new school year turned into a week filled with fresh cuts, new looks, lots of smiles and plenty of hands-on experience for our future professionals🤝 There’s something special about seeing someone light up when they see their finished look, and knowing our future professionals got to play a part in helping them feel ready and confident for that first day back made this event even more meaningful. A huge THANK YOU to every family who visited one of our campuses, trusted our future professionals and helped make our first Back-to-School event such a success! We loved getting to be part of your back-to-school preparations❤️ We hope everyone’s school year is off to an amazing start and that your fresh haircuts, manicures and other AIB glow-ups helped you walk into it feeling confident and ready to take on the year!📚✨ Here’s to a great school year ahead!🤩
Kinda chic meets AIB✨ We’ve been seeing this trend everywhere and obviously had to give it the beauty school treatment💆‍♀️ Beauty school comes with transformations, creativity, new skills, new friends, the distinct smell of a perm (IYKYK), approximately 4,782 before & after photos and a whole lot of “wait… I actually DID that?!” moments💅✂️💈 We’ll let the carousel take it from here➡️
There’s so much value in connecting our future professionals directly with employers in the industry! 💆‍♀️✨ Our Massage Therapy future professionals recently heard from Marisol, co-owner of SolVita Wellness Spa (@mysolvita), who stopped by to share more about SolVita, what they look for in potential team members, and their current opportunities for licensed massage therapists! As our future professionals prepare for careers in the massage industry, opportunities like this give them a chance to learn about local employers and the career possibilities waiting for them after graduation🎓️ A big thank you to Marisol and SolVita Wellness Spa for spending time with our future professionals, sharing your perspective as an employer, and helping them feel even more prepared for their next chapter! 💆‍♂️🌿
Today, we’re celebrating 4 incredible years of Fran at AIB! ✨💆‍♀️If you’ve had the opportunity to learn from Fran, you know there’s something special about the way she teaches. She brings a calm, encouraging presence to the classroom, a wealth of skin care knowledge, and a genuine investment in seeing each of her future professionals grow and succeed. Over the last four years, Fran has helped shape so many aspiring advanced esthetics professionals; not only by teaching them the techniques and knowledge they’ll need in their careers, but by encouraging them to trust themselves, build their confidence, ask questions, and continue pushing toward their potential🎓️ The best educators leave an impact that reaches far beyond the classroom, and Fran has certainly done that. Every future professional she has encouraged, every skill she has helped strengthen, and every bit of knowledge she has shared has become a small part of the careers they’re building❤️ Fran, thank you for four years of patience, mentorship, encouragement, and heart! We’re so grateful for everything you bring to our Advanced Esthetics program, our future professionals, and the entire AIB family. Happy 4-Year AIB Anniversary, Fran! 🎉 Here’s to four years of making a difference, and so many more future professionals whose journeys will be better because you were a part of them🤝😍
