What to Expect as a Student

At IBMC College School of Cosmetology, student success is a top priority. Every step of the way is student-focused, from the time you apply to your graduation. You will receive individualized instruction from skilled educators in hairstyling, nail techniques, skincare, salon and business management.

Individuals gain valuable experience in the beauty field, both through lecture classes and hands-on practice by working on models and guests in the Student Beauty Services Clinic. Students will also build a strong foundation in safety and hygiene, professional work habits, product knowledge and business fundamentals — all designed to prepare you for the State Board Examination.

Volunteer Opportunities

During your time at IBMC College, you may have the opportunity to go off-campus and practice your beautiful new skills at community events, such as:

  • Fall Feast in Denver
  • Children in Need Event
  • Haircuts for the Homeless
  • Haircuts for Veterans through Catholic Charities

During these events, you may perform haircuts and hairstyling, as well as other beauty services, for low-income families and the homeless, as well as the general public. These events provide you with real-work experience that you have use to enhance your resume when looking for that first career opportunity after graduation.
