Once you have completed a Master session, you have the opportunity to come back at any time and take NEW classes*! We are always switching things up and keeping it fresh throughout the year, so if you find a new educator or class that interests you, click the button below to enroll in that class for just $350 (Business, Color, and Cutting Foundations and Technique).
*The class needs to be within the session you have previously taken. For example, if you completed a Business Master session in 2021 you can now take any new classes within the current Business session.
What You Need To Know
When you are ready to take the next step into your continued education with IBE®, this is the place! You can enroll in up to 2 courses per session with the exception of Technique due to the level of work required. All Masters videos and Mastermind trainings are posted in the IBE® Stylist App for your continued viewing. There will be accountability assignments for every class in Masters and you must complete all assignments to receive your certificate of completion. Failure to do so will require a re-enrollment fee to submit the accountability assignments during the next session of Masters in order to receive your certificate of completion. Please note: there are no refunds for Masters Education.
