What Can I Learn in AIB’s
Skin Care Program?

To truly understand facials, skin care analysis, makeup artistry, lash extensions, and all of the other beautiful services estheticians can provide, you must understand your canvas: skin. Skin care is the basis of our curriculum, but we offer so much more!

Elective Certification Courses

Bella Lash Eyelash Extensions

Applying eyelash extensions isn’t something you can learn after watching a few YouTube videos. In the state of Florida, you must have a cosmetologyskin care, or full specialist license to offer the service.

AIB offers an eyelash extension certification through ​Bella Lash​, a worldwide lash provider committed to using the highest-quality medical grade products. Our school partners with Bella Lash to offer our students the opportunity to learn from an industry leader and set themselves up for success. A Bella Lash certification can set you apart as a lash technician with professional training!

Testimonials

See what students and graduates have to say about their experiences in our Skin Care program!


I am a graduate of AIB and I absolutely loved it. I was nervous about going to school for skincare and where to go but after further research I decided that AIB was exactly the place for me. I drove from Brandon everyday to go to school here and I never thought for one day that it was a waste of time to travel as far as I did for school. The education I received exceeded my expectations. My instructors pushed me and encouraged me in everything I did and taught me everything I needed to know and more. The school itself is very knowledgeable, including the other programs. Whenever I had a question about my hair or why my nails chip like they do, the nail and cosmo instructors were always more than welcome to help me understand and find ways to better my hair/nails. I have never been more eager to get up in the morning and start my day doing what I love. Thank you AIB for giving me the chance to complete this program and make me strive to not only be a better person but be an even better aesthetician.~Madison D. (Graduate)
