The ICBAS Hybrid Format — How It Works

Most beauty schools make you choose: full-time in a classroom or nothing. At the International College of Beauty Arts & Sciences (ICBAS), there's another option.

Our programs use a hybrid format: 50% technical instruction online and 50% practical training on campus. You complete theory—such as health and safety, regulations, and science—online, then come to school to apply it through hands-on training with professional tools and instructor guidance.

The result? Less commuting and the same required clock hours and hands-on training needed for licensure in cosmetology, barbering, esthetics, manicuring, or hairstyling.

No shortcuts—just a smarter path to a beauty career.
