“YES I CAN” and “I HAVE DONE IT” – Our School’s Living Philosophy

At the heart of LBA’s culture is a philosophy lived every day by our founder and passed on to every student:

  • “YES I CAN” – the mindset of possibility and determination
  • “I HAVE DONE IT” – the milestone of earned success through effort

These phrases are more than slogans—they are core trademarks of our educational system. Every student is encouraged to believe, act, and ultimately achieve their goals through structure, support, and sustained hard work.

Students graduate not only with licenses—but with the confidence that comes from doing something difficult and finishing strong.


Built for the Working Class – Flexible, Focused, Affordable

LBA exists for those with real-life challenges—students who work, raise children, care for elders, or are starting over in life. Our programs are:

  • 🕒 Offered days, evenings, and weekends
  • 🗓️ Open Monday to Friday (8 AM–9 PM) and Saturday (8 AM–2 PM)
  • 💪 Tailored for full-time or part-time enrollment

Whether you’re 18 or 58, Louisville Beauty Academy is built to serve you—on your time, with your goals in mind.

  • 🕒 Open Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 9 PM, and Saturday, 8 AM to 2 PM
