Testimonials

See what students and graduates have to say about their experiences at our Largo campus!

Miss Serena is an AMAZING nail teacher! She’s so thorough, patient, most of all knowledgeable. I definitely recommend taking the nail course with her. She got me into the field feeling ready & prepared for what the industry has to offer. Plus most classes or courses can be boring if the teacher isn’t enthusiastic or excited about the topic but she makes lectures very interesting & relevant to what is current. She also provided a great classroom environment so that we felt like we could lean on each other for help or to bounce creative ideas off of each other. Thank you Miss Serena for such a great environment & all the education you shared while I was there!~Ariela R. Full Specialist Graduate

I’m a former student at AIB and my experience was great. My phase one teacher was very attentive and very thorough with making sure her students know and understand what and why they are doing and learning something. She was one of the reasons I passed my state board test, and I am grateful to her for being a great teacher and making sure I was prepared.~Chelsea H. Barber Graduate

I am a graduate from AIB. I learned a lot there and the staff is eager for you to succeed! I’d like to make a special shout out to Mr. C and Mrs. Lisa for giving me the knowledge and the tools to succeed. Because of AIB I am now a licensed barber. I’d strongly recommend AIB for anyone who is pursuing a career in barbering, cosmetology, nails and skin care.~Connor N. Barber Graduate

Breast cancer doesn’t always announce itself with an obvious lump. Changes in the skin, nipple, shape or size of the breast, swelling, pain, or changes around the underarm can all be reasons to talk with your healthcare provider. As we recognize Breast Cancer Awareness Month, swipe through ➡️ for some of the signs and symptoms to be aware of and ways you can take a more active role in your breast health. One of the most important things you can do is become familiar with how your breasts normally look and feel. If something seems new or different, don’t ignore it, even if you recently had a normal mammogram. Many breast changes are caused by conditions other than cancer, but a healthcare provider can determine whether further evaluation is needed. And remember: screening is important even when you feel completely healthy. Mammograms can find breast cancer before symptoms develop, which is why staying current with the screening schedule recommended for you matters. 💕 Know your normal 💕 Pay attention to changes 💕 Speak to your doctor if you do notice changes 💕 Keep up with recommended screenings 💕 Encourage the people you love to do the same Breast awareness isn’t about living in fear, it’s about having the knowledge to advocate for your health🎀 #breastcancerawareness #pinktober #breasthealth #earlydetection #knowthesigns
No tricks, just some pretty amazing people to spotlight this October! 🎃✨ We’re celebrating a few of the incredible team members who bring their unique talents, experience, and dedication to AIB each and every day🧡👏 Get to know our October In the Spotlight staff members! 🍂🌟
Pinktober is here! 🎀 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and AIB is proud to recognize it by raising awareness, sharing important information, and debunking common myths surrounding breast cancer. In 2026, an estimated 321,910 women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. Breast cancer remains the most common cancer among women besides skin cancers, accounting for about 1 in 3 new cancer diagnoses. Breast cancer can affect men, too. Although fewer than 1% of cases occur in men, an estimated 2,670 men will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in 2026. With lower awareness and no routine screening, men are also more likely to be diagnosed at a later stage. The takeaway? Know your body, understand your risk, and stay on top of recommended screenings. Mammograms can help detect breast cancer early, when it may be easier to treat. 🚨Need help accessing a mammogram?🚨 Free and reduced-cost screening resources are available in our local community: (Eligibility requirements vary by program.

🚨ANNOUNCEMENT🚨 AIB is currently monitoring Tropical Storm Isaias which has resulted in hurricane and storm surge watches being issued for portions of the Northern Gulf Coast. Isaias is expected to strengthen into a strong hurricane before approaching the Northern Gulf Coast on Friday. At this time our area is not in the probable path of the storm. We will continue to monitor Tropical Storm Isaias, and if any further updates are required due to a shift towards our area we will share via text message and posts to our social media pages. Thank you.
