Thank you to Ms. Annette for making my experience at AIB so enjoyable! She really showed up every day and pushed me to strive for greatness and taught me so much about the skincare world, as well as the business world and was fabulous while doing it 💁🏻♀️ Will I say my experience at AIB was perfect? Not necessarily but the staff really tried their best to make things better for the students and I’m grateful for all I have learned.

I am enrolled in the full specialist program. My skincare teacher Mrs. Annette have created a welcoming and inclusive classroom environment. She was not only passionate about what she do, but also incredibly helpful. She went above and beyond to ensure that I understood the concepts and techniques, and her expertise was evident in every lesson. Thank you Mrs A 💎👑 for being more than a teacher! You are a mentor and an inspiration!

I’m in the full specialist program and Ms.A in the esthetics class has inspired me to embrace my love for esthetics more by not forcing me to do things that I’m uncomfortable with doing. I do not enjoy doing facials at all and instead she lets me focus more on other things i want to learn like waxing, brows, and lashes. Update: I made it! I graduate today and since writing this review I have done facials on a friend of mine once a week. I’ve learned about them more by being hands on with it. I decided to try to see if I’d actually enjoy doing it but even though I don’t enjoy it I’m glad I tried and learned from it. I discovered my love for lashes on the way though! Thank you Ms.A for being my teacher!
