    which means no more exposed beads, bonds, or braids when wearing hair up.

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.

“Mentors are cheat codes sis.
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.

Stylist Reviews

Career Changing Education

I just wanted to let you know that I’m obsessed with IBE®. I NEVER had any interest in doing extensions until I researched this method. Since getting certified my business is booming. I already have a waiting list for new installs. Thank you!!

Courtney Jackson
★★★★★

Thank you for establishing such a stylist positive brand. I have gotten so many requests for new services from the stylist locator! Worth every penny!

Anonymous
★★★★★

IBE paid for itself in less than 2 months. The increase in my business has been out the roof and I've transitioned to IBE clients only.

Brianna Vinson
★★★★★

I love the IBE system. Best investment I’ve made in years, and the stylist locator has been a goldmine for me!

@posh.n.plush

This community is so much more than an extension class. I truly feel like everyone is lifting each other up. So thankful for this new family!

Jamie Diamond
★★★★★

The stylist locator and your marketing make me so grateful. I was worried about bringing in new IBE clients — I was SO wrong.

AMANDA PERKINS
★★★★★

I have only been back to work for 9 days and 4 of my clients already want IBE. I haven’t been this motivated in a very long time.

RYAN ROBERTSON
★★★★★

Hey McKenzie! Because of IBE I can help my family financially AND only work two days a week! I made more in two days than a whole month of other services.

BONNIE SHOLOCK
★★★★★

Seriously having a blast! This is my favorite, yet most challenging method. I worked 3 days last week and made $4,557!
