Nuts and Bolts International Business student of the Year Competition (IBSY)
At Nuts and Bolts, we care about the future of each and every student involved in the program. Therefore, we think it’s important to recognize those outstanding students who have embraced what they’ve learned.
Every year, Nuts and Bolts holds a competition called The International Business Student of the Year Award. The criteria considered for this award includes: retail sales, up-servicing, average ticket amount and overall excellence in customer service.
1st, 2nd, and 3rd place awards in the categories of Cosmetology and Esthetics are announced at the International Salon and Spa Expo in Long Beach at an awards ceremony. The winners receive amazing prizes including cash as well as higher education provided by our partners, The Wella School Program.
At the 2011 International Salon and Spa Expo, Nuts and Bolts Training Company named the recipients of the 3rd Annual International Business Student of the Year award. Nikki Hynek of Capri College in Cedar Rapids Iowa won top honors for the Esthetics Division while Steven Thompson came in first for the cosmetology division. The criteria considered for this award included: retail sales, up servicing, average ticket amount and customer service. In addition, students had to submit a 3-5 minute video outlining their goals for the future.
