Institute of Braiding & Beauty Business Development
We are Atlanta’s Premier & Only Braiding Institute. We are the ONLY school of its kind with an earn-while-you-learn program.
We offer one day up to 12 week program. Our focus is on training professional braiders who are committed to the health of hair and the integrity of the braiding profession. The Strands of Beauty Institute of Braiding & Beauty Business Development offers hands-on training along with global certification classes for hair braiders.
Watching a video can be an okay way to introduce yourself to a new technique, but true skill comes from instruction, interaction, and feedback. Our hands-on training courses are the most powerful way to learn to braid, weave, install extensions, and build your business. Students will be placed on a Level 1 (Intro to Braiding) or Level 2 (Advanced Braiding) track toward graduation.
Whether you are here to get certified as a new braider or to graduate as a master braider, The Strands of Beauty Institute of Braiding and Beauty Business Development will give you the tools to become and grow as a professional braider.
