International Beauty Institute - Hamilton Campus

I took the laser tattoo removal course at the hamilton campus recently. I was able to secure a training date very quickly, and feel confident with the hands on training i received. The staff is very friendly and professional.

I took my makeup course with the instructor Ramia Khouri. It was an excellent experience! Easy to communicate with and very responsive. She was prompt and professional, but most importantly she is a a highly skilled makeup artist! Would recommend without hesitation.

I recently enrolled my daughter into the diploma program and all I can say is WOW! What an incredible experience it was working with Carrie in admissions, She helped to ensure my daughter was not only making the right career choice, but the right choice in the institute. Carrie is a wealth of knowledge and demonstrates so much passion for the industry. A huge thank you for your patience, kindness, honesty and guidance in a space my daughter and I are unfamiliar in (for now). My daughter is so excited to get start!! Kudos to you, thank you!

Had a good experience doing my makeup artist certification. Jenn and Maddie were incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and a pleasure to learn with. They were both friendly, patient, and willing to go above and beyond to make sure all questions were answered. I would definitely recommend this certification course for entry level and beginner artists. If youre looking for more of an intermediate or advanced training, this course may not be suitable. The knowledge and training I received were valuable, however, as a self- taught artist, with 25 years of experience, I believe having different levels of course availability would have been a better option for someone in my position. I would recommend doing a visit to the school, and requesting a course overview to see if it meets your needs. I was also looking for more guidance on the business end of working as a new freelance artist, however this was not a major part of the curriculum. Overall, the instructors were experienced and very open to answering questions I had specifically wanted answers to. I just believe the course as a whole should be divided based on previous training, ability and knowledge of the foundations of makeup. I would also say doing the Advanced Bridal is not necessary. The book I was given was basically the same as the Makeup Certification course, with the only difference being the different cultural techniques. This could have very easily could have been rolled into the main course, and was an expensive add on. Maddie was amazing, and tailored the course to what I asked for. However, for a 2 day course, the theory aspect didnt seem necessary. It basically just felt like a money grab for the advanced bridal. I was also scheduled the advanced bridal before I finished the main course. There was so much overlap. Again, just check out the school and ask a lot of questions before committing to these course, as they are very expensive.

I am so happy I found IBI in Hamilton. From the first moment I contacted them, I have continued to be impressed by their level of professionalism and industry knowledge. The Admissions team is hands down better than any other school I researched, and is the reason I chose IBI.
