IBE® BUSINESS ACADEMY
At IBE®, your success is our priority. That’s why we don’t stop at certification. The Business Academy was designed for newly certified IBE® Stylists to exponentially grow, scale, and elevate their businesses.
NEWLY CERTIFIED STYLISTS
The IBE® Business Academy is complimentary during your two-month Elevate trial. Mentor-led groups begin every two weeks, so you can join right after certification or start with the next session.
After your Elevate trial period ends, an active paid Elevate membership is required to continue accessing the Business Academy.
Message your mentor if you would like to opt in to a Business Academy mentor-led group.
PREVIOUSLY CERTIFED STYLISTS
You can access the IBE® Business Academy at any time with an active Elevate membership. If you’re interested in joining a mentor-led group, please email support@invisiblebeadextensions.com.

“My biggest takeaways from the Business Academy course were all the helpful tips for branding, marketing, and connecting with clients. I really enjoyed how in-depth each lesson was and felt like it really answered all of my questions. As a baby stylist, I also really enjoyed all of the feedback from other stylists, and it made me feel much more confident with where I'm at.”

“I have a bit of a good problem...I had someone already request me on the IBE® Stylists Locator after I updated my profile, before I even got to my model call! I didn't expect this to happen so quickly!!”

"The course was super helpful because it really motivated me to stay on track and continue learning IBE®. I felt like, after the initial certification, I needed an extra push and motivation to keep moving forward because I spent so much time trying to work on my certification. It was nice not being completely thrown into the deep end, and I really enjoyed having another mentor's feedback.”
