Did you know that a cosmetologist is trained in more than just hair care and design? Students enrolled in IBW’s cosmetology program  develop their skills in many areas of cosmetology including hair design, chemical services, manicuring, pedicuring, skincare, and barbering.  Our cosmetology curriculum goes beyond the state requirements and blends innovation with the  Aveda Mission to help students begin their careers strong in the beauty industry.  The 1,600-hour cosmetology course at IBW goes above and beyond state requirements and can help you harness your inner potential as you develop the practical skills of the trade, as well as learn business skills and environmental values. This education experience build the foundation for our students to build a long-lasting career regardless of their area of focus. You may enter The Institute of Beauty and Wellness with a passion for beauty, but you will graduate with a vast skill set and a deeper potential for success.

Meet Alexis, an upcoming graduate from the cosmetology program at the Milwaukee campus. We asked her to tell us more about her experience during her time at The Institute of Beauty and Wellness in Milwaukee, as well as the differences she found between her hometown of Sheboygan.
