Welcome to IBS School of Cosmetology
Turn your passion for hair, cosmetics and fashion into a career and get paid for something you enjoy doing. The IBS School of Cosmetology has been in the business of introducing many of Portland's top hair stylists, barbers, estheticians and nail technicians into the fun and exciting industry of cosmetology. We are a pioneer in the competency format of instruction which creates a flexible and quicker program without comprising on quality. It is a more intelligent approach to learning than the traditional clock hour format and that is why you find a lot of satisfied students at IBS School of Cosmetology.

A recent student put it this way: "I was able to learn the entire course quickly, and it helped me pass my State exam with flying colors. They have got a beautiful modern facility and professional instructors who have a great deal of salon experience. Their hair, facial and nail programs have a devoted client base so you get a lot of great experience while you are still in school. Now I work at one of the top salons in the area".

We also have fantastic in-house financing that makes it easy to afford to go to school and we have both day and weekend classes. Come to IBS School of Cosmetology and start your career today.

The IBS School of Cosmetology Advantage
The benefits of the "competency" based program that we offer includes;

  • The benefits of the "competency" based program that we offer includes: " It is possible to complete the "competency" based program in a shorter time, typically 2/3 the time of an "hourly" based program, if one is committed to moving through the program. There is no substantial difference in instruction time between the "hourly" and "competency" formats. What differs is the amount of time that is required on the clinic floor performing services. The "competency" format permits a student to choose to spend more or less time on the clinic floor depending on the perceived skill level of a student;
  • The tuition for a "competency" based program typically tends to run 40% less than an "hourly" based program;
  • A "competency" based program provides a much more flexible schedule than an "hourly" based program; and
  • The instruction is given at a certain point during the day and this is followed by supervised hands on experience. So there is some flexibility in tailoring a portion of the instruction, the practical time, to an individual's schedule.

Our Facility
We have a beautifully designed facility to compliment our instruction and have designed it to be similar to a modern salon which is absent in many schools in Oregon. In addition, we use some of the industries best back bar products (i.e. color, shampoo, conditioners and styling products) to further recreate the experience of a salon. The other aspect of the salon experience that is present is a healthy customer base which allows students ample opportunity to apply theory to practice.

If you would like to secure a spot in one of our up coming classes, we would recommend a visit to our school to complete an application. Classes do fill up as we approach each start date. We look forward to the day that we can meet you in person at which time we can give you a tour and cover any concerns you may have about your future in the field of Cosmetology.
