Define the Service Being Recognized

Service organizations may provide multiple offerings across training, consulting, technology, media, events, marketing, talent, and operations.

Recognition applies to the organization's overall service role in the beauty industry.

Scope 02

Platform or System

Recognition applies to a specific SaaS product, digital system, booking platform, CRM, or operational tool.

Education or Program

Recognition applies to a training institution, academy, curriculum, mentorship program, or professional education system.

Scope 04

Event or Media Platform

Recognition applies to an exhibition, conference, media platform, content channel, publication, or community platform.

Multiple Entries

One Service Organization May Have Several Recognition Stories

A service organization may also have founders, platforms, events, education programs, media channels, or productized tools. IBA allows each subject to be submitted separately when the recognition focus is different.

Founder or consultant→Beauty Professionals
Education company or academy→Beauty Industry Services & Enablement
SaaS platform→Beauty Industry Services & Enablement
Industry event or media platform→Beauty Industry Services & Enablement
Consumer-facing beauty brand→Beauty Brands
Specific product or device→Beauty Products
Factory or supply partner→Beauty Supply Chain & Manufacturing

Each entry is reviewed independently. Recognition issued to a service organization does not automatically apply to its founders, clients, events, software products, partner companies, or separate business divisions unless included in the official IBA record.
