Hand-Tied Extension Method
Get IBE® Certified
The Only Method That Consistently
Delivers The Best Results
Invisible Bead Extensions® was specifically created to solve 3 major problems encountered
with the different types of hand-tied methods available.
1
Prevents Damage
to the client’s hair and scalp from tension, over-direction and haphazard installs.
2
Eliminates Discomfort
due to the contact of beads on the scalp and the common “clamp and crank” beading approach.
3
Styling Versatility
which means no more exposed beads, bonds, or braids when wearing hair up.
With our patented method and an industry changing education model, Invisible Bead Extensions® has solved all three of these problems and has helped stylists across the world to do the same.

About IBE®
If you have ever attended an extension certification class, you can without a doubt relate to the common practice that was frustrating—if not infuriating. Without fail, at the end of each class, I left being “CERTIFIED” yet still had so many questions regarding the method or how to apply it behind the chair. I wasn’t ready! I had no mentor, no community, and nowhere to turn for support.
“Mentors are cheat codes sis.
Get you one!”
The IBE® Certification program is one of a kind, greatly due to our unique one on one approach to your education. You are paired with a mentor based on your interview and who we feel you’d best connect with. Your mentor is your “ride or die” throughout the entire training process. She will guide your learning and move at a comfortable pace that you establish. As you move through the training modules, she will be there with you every single step of the way.
IBE® Certification
Train With Your Mentor & Become
An IBE® Certified Stylist
Level 1 THE BASICS
You will begin by learning the basic method of IBE® with practice on a mannequin.
You will be taught everything from consultation to fitting the right length and color of hair.
Sectioning, placement, beadwork and foundation techniques, weft placements, and proprietary IBE® stitching techniques.
Learn all these through our innovative online education portal or right in the IBE® mobile app along with your one-on-one mentor.
Completion and sign off from your mentor in this level will ensure you are comprehending the method and becoming confident in its application behind the chair.
Level 2 STEP UP YOUR GAME
Once your mentor has signed off and level one is complete, you will step up your game.
In level two you will repeat the process of learning in application and technique, however this time on an actual human model! You will be taking everything you have learned in section 1 and putting it into real-life practice.
Your mentor will be digging in deep at this point and giving you dialed in personalized feedback and coaching. They will be making sure you have every single question answered and that you feel 100% prepared and confident to take your IBE® work behind the chair.
Level 3 GET CERTIFIED!
With level one and two in the books, lets put some icing on the cake!
We are going to dive into social media training and how to market the IBE® method.
You will be taken through the process of how to get clients seeking you out as an expert extensionist and booking consultations.
You will also do your final test out model. Here you will apply two rows of IBE® to your model and take her through the entire process of extension application, custom coloring, cutting and styling. You will supply all the appropriate photos to your mentor and you will decide together if you are ready to move forward.
When level 3 is complete, you will join the ranks of being a certified IBE® stylist and start to enjoy the fruits of your hard work.

Masters Education…
The Road To Becoming an Elite
Artist and IBE® Platform Artist
Our biggest request from certified stylists was, “I want to grow with the company!”
So with this request we launched the IBE® Masters Program.
- This program is for the serious stylist that is wanting to take their IBE® and extension career to the next level.
- Master Stylists will earn a higher designation and education levels as they pass from IBE® Certified to IBE® Master Stylist to IBE® Elite Artist and Finally IBE® Platform Artist.
- Master's sessions are held 3 times per year in January, May and August. No application is needed but you must already be IBE® Certified to enroll. Seats are limited to ensure the education is intimate and elite.
- Once a stylist has completed all 4 Masters courses, they have the option to become an Elite Artist. Elite Artists are then qualified to apply to become part of our Global Platform Artist Team.
