IBATAJ – International Beauty Association of Trainers and Judges
IBATAJ is an elite global community for the most accomplished professionals in the beauty industry.
Founded in London in 2022 by Viktoria Kysil — an internationally recognized judge, trainer, and mentor — the Association unites top-level judges, expert trainers, innovative educators, and award-winning champions.
The official IBATAJ trademark is registered in the United Kingdom.
This is not an open membership platform. Entry into IBATAJ is highly selective and reserved for those with proven excellence, impeccable ethics, and a true dedication to raising global beauty industry standards.
IBATAJ stands for integrity, professionalism, and inspiration.
Each applicant undergoes a rigorous evaluation process by the Qualification and Ethics Board. Whether you’re a visionary trainer, certified judge, international competitor, or a trendsetting influencer — your achievements, reputation, and contribution to the industry must speak for themselves.
Only the best of the best are welcomed — those who lead by example and shape the future of the beauty world.
IBATAJ is also the proud organizer of the Global Talent Beauty Cup (GTB CUP) — an internationally recognized championship and officially registered trademark in the UK, USA, and European Union. Held within some of the most prestigious beauty exhibitions in the United States, including Be+Well Show and America’s Beauty Show, GTB CUP continues to set new industry standards as the world’s trend-setting competition.
This prestigious event brings together beauty professionals from around the globe to showcase their talent in nails, lashes, brows, PMU, makeup, hair, aesthetics, and more.
GTB CUP is more than a competition — it is a global platform for growth, creativity, professional recognition, and international opportunity. Each event reflects the core values of IBATAJ: fairness, innovation, and excellence at the highest level.
