Empowering Illinois' cosmetology arts &
sciences industry since 1979, IACS stands as the leading advocate for industry
excellence. We unite diverse members, from schools to suppliers, fostering
innovation and ensuring industry protection through advocacy, timely updates,
and high-quality education.
As a licensed sponsor of continuing education under the Barber, Cosmetology, Esthetics, Hair Braiding, and Nail Technology Act (BCENT), we host two events each year that offer attendees the chance to earn up to 24 hours of CE credits. We are working to finalize 2026 dates. Visit our events tab for more information!
