The #1 Most Requested Extension Method
Get IBE® Certified
The Only Method That Consistently
Delivers the Best Results
Invisible Bead Extensions® was specifically created to solve 3 major problems encountered
with the different types of hand-tied methods available.
1
Prevents Damage
to the client’s hair and scalp from tension, over-direction and haphazard installs.
2
Eliminates Discomfort
due to the contact of beads on the scalp and the common “clamp and crank” beading approach.
3
Styling Versatility
which means no more exposed beads, bonds, or braids when wearing hair up.
With our patented method and an industry changing education model, Invisible Bead Extensions® has solved all three of these problems and has helped stylists across the world to do the same.
#THEORIGINALFLIPUP
About IBE®
If you have ever attended an extension certification class, you can without a doubt relate to the common practice that was frustrating—if not infuriating. Without fail, at the end of each class, I left being “CERTIFIED” yet still had so many questions regarding the method or how to apply it behind the chair. I wasn’t ready! I had no mentor, no community, and nowhere to turn for support.
In creating the IBE® certification program, I vowed to change the way stylists were educated and bring something NEW to the industry. I developed a program focused on the stylist and setting them up for success. As an IBE® Artist, you will earn a real “CERTIFICATION” in the original Invisible Bead method that has revolutionized the extension industry. You will understand the how, what, and why behind the method and be fully confident in correctly applying these skills behind the chair….Without ever having to travel anywhere.
IBE® brings a hybrid of technology and one-on-one mentoring to your education experience. All IBE® modules and training sessions are shot in high definition and broken down into 3 different certification sections. You can pause, stop, rewind and work at your own pace and always have a front-row seat. Once you are accepted into the program, you will begin the one-on-one mentorship with your hand selected IBE® Master Mentor. This Mentor is DEDICATED TO YOU! Finally, that personal coach to answer every question and explain every detail.
We did not become the most requested extension method and brand by chance. That has come from creating an education program that works and a method that women across the globe can’t live without. The social proof is everywhere!
“Mentors are cheat codes.
Get you one!”
The IBE® Certification program is one of a kind, greatly due to our unique one on one approach to your education. You are paired with a mentor based on your interview and who we feel you’d best connect with. Your mentor is your “ride or die” throughout the entire training process. She will guide your learning and move at a comfortable pace that you establish. As you move through the training modules, she will be there with you every single step of the way.

Completion and sign off from your mentor in this level will ensure you are comprehending the method and becoming confident in its application behind the chair.
Level 2 STEP UP YOUR GAME
Once your mentor has signed off and level one is complete, you will step up your game.
In level two you will repeat the process of learning in application and technique, however this time on an actual human model! You will be taking everything you have learned in section 1 and putting it into real-life practice.
Your mentor will be digging in deep at this point and giving you dialed in personalized feedback and coaching. They will be making sure you have every single question answered and that you feel 100% prepared and confident to take your IBE® work behind the chair.
Level 3 GET CERTIFIED!
