From Beauty School to Booked-Out Master Technician: Tionni's IBE® Journey

In this episode of Flipping the Industry, McKenzie and Jasmine sit down with Tionni — a Haus of IBE® master technician who walked out of beauty school in 2023 and straight into a career most stylists spend a decade trying to build.

McKenzie also reflects on building the Haus of IBE® as the flagship salon — a space designed to match the caliber of the method itself — and why watching stylists like Tionni soar inside it has been one of the most fulfilling parts of the journey.

In this episode:

• Why Tionni chose IBE® over another salon offer right out of school
• How assisting and fast-tracking certification in four weeks accelerated her career
• The Master Technique shift that cut her row time from 70 minutes to 45
• Flying to New York every eight weeks and hosting clients who travel from Canada to see her
• Building a 90% extensions book by age 22 without a massive following
• Why energy attracts the right clients more than follower count ever will
• Her advice to stylists still in beauty school looking for their roadmap
