Making Your Dream Affordable

Providing a quality education is important to us, which is why we strive to maintain our cosmetology program accreditation. In addition to allowing our students to take advantage of federal financial aid, our accredited cosmetology program can be funded with Florida Prepaid, Veterans Benefits, and outside scholarships. Federal financial aid is available to those who qualify.

More Bang For Your Buck

American Institute of Beauty (AIB) strives to take beauty education to the next level. That’s why we include an elective, Bella Lash eyelash extensions, as part of our cosmetology program. You can get advanced training and this certification while you’re in school.

Placing Careers as a Priority

The success of our students is more important to us than anything else, both in the classroom and after they have graduated from AIB. That’s why we hold events like Career Days to help our students network and join the local family of beauty businesses. This network helps many of our students have job offers before they’ve even graduated!
