I just graduated from AIB’s Full Specialist program and I had a great experience. The teachers that I had were fantastic. They encouraged me throughout the time I was there. Both of my teachers had over 20 years of work in their field which allowed them to impart upon us more than just the knowledge the curriculum offered, we were also taught about how things work in the real world and how to handle real-world situations. The other staff have been wonderful too particularly in the Business office, and the CCT who works the front desk. My overall experience has been terrific!
I just completed the Clinical Skin Care course, with the best teacher/instructor I have ever had. She uses her extensive experience, and knowledge, and teaches the proper techniques for all modalities. She shares her knowledge daily, to ensure we are knowledgeable with products to be used properly and according to the client's skin. She goes above and beyond to help each student and truly cares that you graduate with all the tools and education to become successful. I have attended other schools in the area, if you are looking to become knowledgeable and proficient in your skills, I recommend American Institute of Beauty. Also, the staff is amazing. The director goes above and beyond to assist each student. He greets you with smiles and laughter every day. Thank you.
