The Cosmetology Industry Association of British Columbia (CIABC) is dedicated to the personal, creative and financial success of BC’s many talented beauty professionals.
For nearly 75 years the provincial government regulated the industry through the Cosmetologists' Association of British Columbia (CABC). When government regulation ceased in 2004, the industry created a new voluntary association of committed professionals. CIABC successfully replaced CABC, and continues to oversee the development of the training curricula and certification of BC’s beauty professionals.
here are many benefits to belonging to CIABC. Education and certification are at the core of the association. Through education, we provide the tools for students to access their chosen career and for professionals to reach new heights in their career. Our members include hairstylists, barbers, estheticians, nail technicians, salon and spa owners, educators, beauty school owners, beauty school students, apprentices, manufacturers and wholesalers.
CIABC membership is recommended for cosmetology students, people starting a new business, and for those already in the business. As a member, you have access to CIABC's resources, training and support.
