According to Kentucky state law and Kentucky Board of Cosmetology (KBC) regulations, each school location operates as an independent licensed facility with its own school license number and separate compliance requirements. Even if multiple locations are owned by the same entity (such as Louisville Beauty Academy LLC), they are considered legally distinct schools.
Legal Reasons Why Students Cannot Attend Multiple Locations:
Each School Has Its Own State License & Inspections
Every facility is licensed and inspected individually under KBC.
Enrolled students are legally bound to the specific school location where they have registered.
Students cannot transfer between locations at their convenience unless they officially unenroll from one and re-enroll at another, following proper procedures.
Clock Hours Must Be Logged Under One School License
KY state law mandates that all student training hours be recorded under one specific school license number.
If a student were to attend multiple locations, it would create compliance issues in tracking hours and risk regulatory violations.
Schools must maintain accurate attendance records that align with their licensing agreements.
KBC Compliance: Training Can Only Occur at the Enrolled Location
All practical and theoretical training must take place only at the licensed school where the student is officially enrolled.
Attending another branch or location without following proper re-enrollment procedures is not legally permitted under KBC guidelines.
What If a Student Wants to Move to Another Location?
If a student wishes to attend a different location, they must:
Officially withdraw from their current school location.
Re-enroll at the new location under that school’s license.
Hours completed at the original location may not always transfer and will be subject to school and state board policies.
What About Volunteer Work at Another Location?
If a student chooses not to accumulate hours for a volunteer activity, they may perform services at another licensed school location only if supervised by an instructor at that location.
However, this does not count as training or education and must comply with KBC’s rules regarding student work under supervision.
Final Legal Clarification:
KY state law prohibits students from training at multiple locations under a single enrollment. Students must train only at their enrolled school location and cannot freely move between branches. This rule ensures proper compliance, accurate hour tracking, and adherence to state regulations. Any deviation from this could result in non-compliance with state cosmetology laws, potentially affecting a student’s ability to obtain licensure.

Beauty Is Not a Luxury—It’s a Fundamental Human Need
At Louisville Beauty Academy, we believe that beauty services are a right, not a privilege. Grooming, self-care, and personal appearance are not about vanity—they are about self-worth, dignity, and confidence.
💙 “Creating Smiles” is more than a slogan—it’s our mission.
A fresh haircut, a simple manicure, or a relaxing facial can be life-changing, especially for those who are often overlooked: ✔️ People with disabilities who struggle with mobility and self-care. ✔️ Elderly individuals who feel isolated and need human connection. ✔️ Children in crisis who deserve to feel like any other child. ✔️ Homeless individuals & those in rehab who need dignity restored. ✔️ Caregivers & staff who serve others tirelessly but rarely get pampered themselves.
🔹 Louisville Beauty Academy is on a mission to provide 100% FREE beauty services to these communities—ZERO EXCUSE ACCESSIBILITY TO BEAUTY SERVICES.
Louisville Beauty Academy: The New Model of Beauty Education
Unlike traditional beauty schools that exploit students for labor, extend training to extract federal aid, and delay graduation for profit, Louisville Beauty Academy follows an entirely different philosophy:
✔ Affordable, flexible enrollment—students start immediately. ✔ Fast-tracked completion—pushing students to graduate as soon as possible. ✔ No forced labor—students are NOT required to work for free for the school’s business model. ✔ Volunteer service is encouraged but not required—students who choose to give back receive a volunteer certification as part of their graduation resume.
🔹 This model is built on two pillars:
Providing FREE services to all in need—ensuring beauty is accessible to everyone, with NO barriers.
Developing a skilled workforce—graduates leave with experience, confidence, and real career opportunities.
At Louisville Beauty Academy, we do not believe in keeping students trapped in the system. Instead, we empower them to finish fast, work, and serve their community.
Why FREE Beauty Services Matter: The Impact on Vulnerable Populations
✔ People with Disabilities: Restoring Dignity
Many individuals with disabilities cannot physically care for their own grooming needs. This often leads to low self-esteem, isolation, and emotional distress. ✅ FREE beauty services allow them to feel seen, valued, and respected. ✅ Boosts their mental and emotional health. ✅ Encourages independence & personal pride.
✔ Elderly Individuals: Human Connection & Self-Worth
Many seniors in nursing homes or living alone experience loneliness, depression, and neglect. A simple haircut or nail service can: ✅ Reignite their sense of self. ✅ Encourage socialization & interaction. ✅ Provide touch and conversation that many elders lack.
✔ Children in Crisis: A Sense of Normalcy & Joy
Children in foster care, shelters, and underserved communities often feel different, overlooked, or unworthy. ✅ FREE haircuts and grooming make them feel like any other kid. ✅ Boosts their self-confidence at school & in social settings. ✅ Helps them feel loved and cared for.
✔ Homeless & Rehab Populations: A Fresh Start
Those recovering from addiction, homelessness, or past trauma often feel disconnected from their own self-worth. ✅ A professional appearance can open doors to job opportunities. ✅ Personal grooming helps restore their self-image & confidence. ✅ Encourages a positive mindset for rebuilding their lives.
✔ Caregivers & Staff: Supporting Those Who Support Others
Nurses, social workers, shelter staff, and caregivers give everything to help others—but who takes care of them? ✅ Providing FREE beauty services as self-care. ✅ Preventing burnout & increasing morale. ✅ Reinforcing that they, too, deserve to feel valued and beautiful.
The Expansion Plan: Bringing Louisville Beauty Academy to Every Shelter, Rehab, & Elder Care Facility
💙 Louisville Beauty Academy is launching this model in every homeless shelter, rehabilitation center, and elder care facility, including: ✔️ Volunteers of America ✔️ The Healing Place ✔️ Family Scholar House ✔️ Louisville Metro Homeless Services ✔️ Wayside Christian Mission ✔️ St. Vincent de Paul Louisville ✔️ Salvation Army Louisville ✔️ Hotel Louisville (homeless & recovery program) ✔️ Louisville Metro Jails & Prisons
🔹 No one should be denied beauty services because of their situation. 🔹 This program will ensure that every person, regardless of age, ability, or financial status, has access to self-care that restores confidence and dignity.
Scalability & National Expansion: No Excuses for Accessibility
🔹 Step 1: Perfect the model at Harbor House & local shelters. 🔹 Step 2: Expand across Louisville & Kentucky. 🔹 Step 3: Implement in state-funded workforce programs & correctional facilities. 🔹 Step 4: Expand to neighboring states (Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee, Illinois). 🔹 Step 5: Secure federal funding & corporate sponsorships to scale nationwide.
Final Thought: Beauty is Not Just About Looks—It’s About Power, Dignity, and Hope
Di Tran’s Vision: Impacting 1 Million Lives
Di Tran is committed to impacting 1 million lives by ensuring zero-excuse accessibility to beauty services. His goal is to expand the Louisville Beauty Academy model across rehabilitation centers, elder care facilities, homeless shelters, jails, and underserved communities across the U.S.
By providing 100% FREE beauty services, this model will: ✔️ Restore dignity and confidence to those who need it most. ✔️ Empower individuals through self-care and professional grooming. ✔️ Develop a skilled workforce with volunteer experience and real job opportunities. ✔️ Create a national movement where no person is denied the right to look and feel their best.
💙 When people feel beautiful, they feel capable. 💙 When people feel capable, they believe in themselves. 💙 When people believe in themselves, they transform their lives.
“Creating Smiles” isn’t just our slogan—it’s our mission. And through Louisville Beauty Academy’s zero-excuse accessibility model, we will ensure that every human being, regardless of their situation, has the opportunity to feel valued, confident, and beautiful.
🔹 Beauty is not a luxury—it is a necessity for self-worth. And we are making sure it is FREE for those who need it most.
At Louisville Beauty Academy, a Kentucky state-licensed and state-accredited beauty college, we often receive the common question:
“Do you teach Botox?” The simple answer is NO, and here’s why:
Kentucky Law on Botox Injections
Botox is classified as a prescription medication and falls under the category of medical procedures in Kentucky. This means that licensed beauty professionals, including estheticians and cosmetologists, CANNOT legally inject Botox.
Who Can Legally Inject Botox in Kentucky?
In Kentucky, only medical professionals with the appropriate credentials can legally perform Botox injections. These include:
Doctors (MD, DO, DDS, DMD) – Physicians and dentists can legally inject Botox.
Nurse Practitioners (NPs) – They have the authority to inject Botox independently.
Physician Assistants (PAs) – Can inject Botox under the supervision of a licensed physician.
Registered Nurses (RNs) – May administer Botox, but only under the direct supervision of a licensed physician.
What Can Kentucky-Licensed Beauty Professionals Do Instead?
Although licensed beauty professionals cannot inject Botox, they play a crucial role in enhancing and maintaining Botox results. At Louisville Beauty Academy, we train students in the following non-medical but highly complementary esthetic services: ✅ Pre- and Post-Treatment Skincare – Preparing the skin before Botox and providing aftercare treatments for better results. ✅ Advanced Facials & Chemical Peels – Keeping the skin healthy and glowing post-Botox. ✅ Microneedling & Dermaplaning – Enhancing skin texture to complement Botox effects. ✅ Skin Analysis & Consultation – Educating clients on skincare and anti-aging treatments.
Can a Beauty Professional Own a Med Spa?
Yes! While a Kentucky-licensed beauty professional cannot inject Botox, they can own or co-own a medical spa. However, they must hire a licensed medical provider (such as a doctor, NP, or PA) to legally perform Botox injections.
Why Louisville Beauty Academy Focuses on State-Licensed Training
At Louisville Beauty Academy, our mission is to provide high-quality, state-approved beauty education that helps our students succeed within legal and ethical boundaries. We ensure that all of our programs align with Kentucky’s laws and regulations, setting our graduates up for success in legally permissible beauty services.
Louisville Beauty Academy Locations

In today’s educational landscape, aspiring beauty professionals often face overwhelming financial burdens due to rising tuition costs, unnecessary administrative expenses, and excessive regulatory overhead. Many beauty schools, particularly those with national accreditation, must allocate a significant portion of tuition fees—40% to 60%—to cover compliance, financial aid processing, and reporting requirements, instead of focusing on actual education and student success.
At Louisville Beauty Academy, we take a different approach—one that prioritizes students over unnecessary bureaucracy. As a Kentucky state-licensed and state-accredited beauty college, we have strategically removed all wasteful costs associated with national accreditation and federal aid processing. This decision allows us to pass the savings directly to our students, offering an unprecedented 50% to 75% tuition discount compared to many accredited schools.
Understanding the Waste in Traditional Beauty School Tuition
Many students are misled into believing that national accreditation is necessary for their success in licensing. This is not true. Every beauty school in the U.S. is already required to be licensed and accredited by its state before opening. What truly matters is the school’s graduation rate, employment rate, and licensing pass rate—not whether it holds national accreditation.
For schools that pursue national accreditation and federal financial aid eligibility, the following costs drive up tuition significantly:
1. National Accreditation & Compliance Costs
Schools must pay $8,000 – $25,000 annually for accreditation fees.
Compliance audits, mandatory annual financial reports, and on-site inspections cost between $10,000 – $40,000 per year.
Schools often require additional software systems ($5,000 – $20,000 annually) to track compliance.
Extra administrative staff ($30,000 – $100,000 per year) is needed to handle compliance paperwork.
2. Federal Financial Aid Processing Overhead
Title IV schools incur $10,000 – $50,000 annually in financial aid software and processing costs.
Third-party audits cost between $5,000 – $20,000 per year.
Schools must hire financial aid officers ($30,000 – $80,000 annually) just to process federal aid paperwork.
3. Loss of Instructor Time Due to Reporting
Instructors at federally accredited schools spend 30% to 50% of their time on compliance tracking, rather than teaching.
Instead of engaging with students, training in real-world skills, and fostering creativity, instructors are forced to focus on regulatory documentation.
How Louisville Beauty Academy Passes the Savings to Students
By eliminating these unnecessary expenses, Louisville Beauty Academy reduces tuition by 50% to 75%, making beauty education significantly more affordable.
The Financial Impact on Students
Cosmetology tuition at traditional accredited schools: $27,000 – $30,000
Cosmetology tuition at Louisville Beauty Academy: $10,000 – $12,000
Savings: $15,000 – $20,000—money that a student can use to open their own salon, invest in high-quality equipment, or launch their beauty career debt-free.
The same principle applies to other programs, including nail technology, esthetics, and eyelash certification, allowing students to graduate with high-quality training at a fraction of the cost.
Uncompromising Quality: Best of the Best Products & Education
Despite lower tuition costs, Louisville Beauty Academy does not cut corners on quality. Instead, we invest in premium beauty education resources that many other schools either avoid due to cost or charge additional fees for:
✅ Milady CIMA – Used by 85% of beauty schools nationwide, this industry-leading digital education platform provides cutting-edge learning materials, practical demonstrations, and interactive coursework. ✅ CHI Professional Haircare – A top-tier brand for cosmetology training, ensuring students work with salon-grade products from day one. ✅ OPI Nail Products – The most recognized nail product brand in the industry, giving nail students hands-on experience with the tools used by top professionals.
Beyond Beauty: Financial Literacy & Business Success
Louisville Beauty Academy goes beyond technical training by empowering students with financial literacy and business knowledge. Our curriculum includes: 📘 Salon Ownership & Business Management Training – Teaching students how to start their own businesses. 📘 Personal Finance & Budgeting Courses – Helping students plan their future earnings. 📘 Exclusive Books & Guides – Written by Louisville Beauty Academy experts, tailored to real-world success.
Ask the Right Questions: What Matters Most in a Beauty School?
To ensure that you make the best choice for your future, ask any beauty school you’re considering the following questions:
What is your school’s graduation rate?
Many beauty schools struggle to maintain a graduation rate above 70%.
Louisville Beauty Academy has maintained a graduation rate of 95% or higher for over eight years.
How many students has your school graduated?
Many beauty schools graduate only a small fraction of students due to high dropout rates.
Louisville Beauty Academy has successfully graduated nearly 2,000 students.
What is your school’s employment rate for graduates?
If a school has low employment rates, it may not be adequately preparing students for the real world.
Louisville Beauty Academy has a near 100% job placement rate.
What is your school’s state licensing exam pass rate?
A school’s accreditation means nothing if students are not passing their licensing exams.
Louisville Beauty Academy students have consistently high licensing pass rates.
Think Smart. Choose Wisely.
Louisville Beauty Academy has already helped nearly 2,000 students graduate successfully. We have one of the highest graduation rates in the industry (95%+), and our students are thriving in their careers—whether working in top salons or opening their own businesses.

Transforming Lives Through True Beauty Education and Workforce Development
Louisville Beauty Academy is more than just a beauty school—it is a beacon of hope, opportunity, and transformation for those who seek a better future through the power of education. As a Kentucky State-Licensed and State-Accredited Beauty College, we take pride in elevating not just the beauty industry but the people who shape it.
A True Education-Focused Institution
Unlike many beauty schools that place profits over education by prioritizing salon income, Louisville Beauty Academy is built differently. We are not here to use students as free labor—we are here to educate, empower, and launch careers. Our mission is to develop highly skilled, licensed beauty professionals who are workforce-ready, business-ready, and service-driven.
Our students are not just learners; they are future entrepreneurs, industry leaders, and job creators. They come to us seeking a life-changing opportunity, and we honor that by giving them the best education, the most flexibility, and an unparalleled pathway to success.
Education First, Licensing First, Success First
At Louisville Beauty Academy, we have one fundamental rule: Education comes first. We believe that a true beauty professional must master three key levels before entering the workforce: ✔ Licensing Exam Focused Education – Ensuring students pass both their theory and practical state licensing exams before anything else. ✔ Professional Salon Skills Development – Teaching students how to excel in real-world settings while upholding the highest industry standards. ✔ Advanced Career Readiness – Helping students launch their careers, open businesses, and lead the future of the beauty industry.
We do not rush students into chairs to generate income for the school—instead, we equip them with all the knowledge, time, and flexibility they need to succeed. Many beauty schools expect students to struggle at night or after graduation to prepare for their licensing exams, but at Louisville Beauty Academy, we prepare them before they leave our doors.
Affordable, Flexible, and Debt-Free Beauty Education
Louisville Beauty Academy is proud to offer a debt-free enablement program, making beauty education truly accessible to everyone. We understand that our students juggle multiple responsibilities—jobs, children, higher education, and more—which is why we provide a flexible learning structure that allows them to study on their terms, without financial burden.
We believe that education should never be a privilege—it should be an opportunity for all. Our commitment to affordability and flexibility makes it possible for anyone to achieve their dreams of becoming a licensed beauty professional.
A Culture of Service: Giving Back to the Community
At Louisville Beauty Academy, beauty is not just about appearance—it is about service, dignity, and the human connection. That is why we have built a culture of giving back, where our students actively provide free salon services to those in need.
Our commitment to service is best exemplified at our Harbor House location, where: ✅ 100% of beauty services are free for individuals with disabilities, elderly citizens, children, and caregivers. ✅ Our students volunteer their skills to uplift those who need it most. ✅ We use beauty as a tool to restore confidence, self-esteem, and joy to the most vulnerable members of our community.
At Louisville Beauty Academy, we believe that if a student can serve individuals with disabilities, they can serve anyone. This philosophy is part of our mastery of humanization—a principle founded by Di Tran, who has written over 50 books on the subject under the College of Humanization at Di Tran University.
Building a Strong, Ethical, and Workforce-Ready Beauty Industry
We do not just graduate beauty professionals—we create new American success stories. Many of our students are immigrants, non-English speakers, single parents, and individuals seeking a fresh start. When they walk through our doors, they are not just learning beauty—they are learning English, American business culture, professionalism, and leadership.
We take this responsibility seriously because we know that for many of our students, a beauty license is the foundation for a new life. We are a school that teaches not just cosmetology, esthetics, and nail technology, but also American resilience, workforce excellence, and financial independence.
Our impact speaks for itself: 📌 95%+ graduation rate 📌 Nearly 2,000 graduates and counting 📌 Millions of dollars in economic contributions, as our graduates become licensed professionals, salon owners, and job creators 📌 Hundreds of successful student-run salons, many worth half a million dollars or more
We are proud to be a beauty college that does more than just teach—we transform lives.
Join Us: Invest, Work, or Partner with Us

At Louisville Beauty Academy, we don’t just teach beauty skills – we teach responsibility, professionalism, and excellence. The foundation of every beauty professional’s success starts with sanitation and safety, as required by Kentucky State Law (201 KAR 12:100).
We Practice It. We Teach It. We Elevate It.
Sanitation is not just a rule – it is a daily habit, a professional standard, and the key to becoming a licensed beauty expert. Every student at Louisville Beauty Academy is expected to clean and disinfect their workstation before and after class, ensuring a safe and hygienic learning environment.
As a licensed beauty school, we elevate sanitation by making it a daily practice, not just a theory. Our students don’t just learn about sanitation – they live it, practice it, and become experts in it.

✔ Workstations, shampoo bowls, treatment tables, styling chairs, and surfaces must be cleaned and disinfected daily and after each client. ✔ Each workstation must have a disinfectant solution available for cleaning between clients.
✔ All tools and implements must be cleaned and disinfected before and after every use. ✔ No tool, instrument, or item shall be used on multiple clients without proper sanitation. ✔ Multi-use items must be stored in a closed, labeled, and sanitary container.
🗑 Trash & Debris Removal(201 KAR 12:100, Section 6)
✔ Hair, nail clippings, and debris must be swept and disposed of immediately after each service. ✔ Waste containers must be emptied daily to maintain cleanliness.
🏫 School-Specific Cleaning Standards(201 KAR 12:100, Section 7)
✔ Louisville Beauty Academy is responsible for maintaining a clean and sanitary learning environment at all times. ✔ All students are trained in sanitation and are expected to perform daily cleaning duties. ✔ Each student must clean and disinfect their workstation before and after class.
🧴 Disinfectant Requirements(201 KAR 12:100, Sections 5 & 8)
✔ Only EPA-registered disinfectants are used in our school and salon. ✔ Disinfectants must be clearly labeled and stored properly. ✔ All students must follow manufacturer guidelines for proper use and disposal of disinfectants.
🚻 Restroom & Handwashing Facilities(201 KAR 12:100, Section 9)
✔ Restrooms are cleaned and disinfected daily to maintain hygiene. ✔ Handwashing stations with soap and disposable towels are available for all students and clients.
📚 Why This Matters for Your Beauty License
✔ Sanitation and safety are critical subjects required for beauty licensing. ✔ Practicing these standards daily prepares students to become professional, responsible, and successful beauty experts. ✔ Failure to follow sanitation rules can result in disciplinary actions, fines, or even loss of licensure.

Louisville Beauty Academy is a Kentucky state-licensed and state-accredited beauty college committed to providing students with the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding state licensing requirements. While we strive to ensure the accuracy of all details shared, students are ultimately responsible for verifying testing locations, requirements, and procedures directly with the Kentucky State Board of Cosmetology (KBC) and PSI Services LLC. The information provided in this update is based on the official memorandum issued by KBC on January 31, 2025, and is subject to change at the discretion of KBC and PSI. We encourage all students to regularly check kbc.ky.gov for the latest official announcements. Louisville Beauty Academy assumes no liability for changes made by third-party testing providers or governing agencies.
