There are times that you move from one beauty school to another in the same state or between the state. The school will need your certification of completed hours as registered in the KY State Board of Cosmetology before your continuing education can be enrolled in the school. To do that, the school will have to fill out the application below to request that certification of hours/license on the student’s behalf.
The student will need to fill out this online agreement and give the school (Louisville Beauty Academy) permission to request that information on your behalf.

EXACT STEPS OF EXECUTION
Here is a step-by-step guide for transferring state certified beauty trained hours for any program (cosmetology, esthetic, nail technology, and instructor license) to or from Kentucky state:
Contact the Kentucky State Board from which you are transferring. Request that they send the transfer of credit/license information via mail and email to the state board you are transferring to.
Allow 15 to 30 days for the transfer process to take place. Afterward, reach out to the state board you are transferring to and inquire about the confirmation of receipt. Also, ask for further guidance on the next steps.
Get in touch with the school you attended for your beauty training. Request a student transcript, as most state boards require this document for the transfer process.
If the state board you are transferring to informs you that you need additional hours to qualify for the licensing exam, you can consider enrolling in a school like Louisville Beauty Academy to complete the necessary hours.
Please keep in mind that the specific requirements and procedures may vary, so it is essential to follow the instructions provided by the respective state boards and schools involved in the transfer process.
ELABORATION ON DETAIL
Objective:
Many individuals have repeatedly asked questions about transferring certified training hours for cosmetology, nail technology/manicure, and esthetic/aesthetic, as well as state licenses, both to and from Kentucky State. This section aims to provide concise answers to these common inquiries.
Short Answers:
Yes, you can transfer your beauty license and certified training hours between Kentucky State Board of Cosmetology and Hairdress and other states. However, the process can be time-consuming.
To transfer hours from another state to Kentucky, you need to follow the guidelines set by the Kentucky State Board of Cosmetology. It is crucial to comply with their specific requirements.
While Louisville Beauty Academy can offer guidance and advice, they strictly adhere to the guidelines outlined by the Kentucky State Board of Cosmetology. They can assist you within the framework provided by the board.
Whether or not you have to retake the exam depends on the destination state’s requirements. You will need to apply to the respective State Board and follow their instructions. They will guide you on whether you need to retake the exam or apply for a new license in their state.
The transfer of your license or certified training hours must be facilitated by the State Board, not by the applicant. You need to contact the State Board and request them to initiate the transfer on your behalf.
The applicant is responsible for following all the necessary steps as required by the Kentucky State Board of Cosmetology.
The applicant must apply to the destination State Board to have their transferred license or certified training hours accepted and processed. The State Board will provide guidance on the subsequent steps, such as retaking the exam or obtaining a new license in their state.
If you did not take the exam on the NIC examination system (National Interstate Council of State Boards of Cosmetology), please note that as of 2022-223, the NIC has transitioned to PSI (Psychological Services, Inc.). Therefore, it is important to be aware of this recent change.
PSI now provides standardized, valid, and legally defensible national theory and practical examinations for cosmetology and related fields. The administration of computer-based testing and practical examinations is handled by authorized test administration companies and states. You can find a list of states that utilize PSI Testing on their website.
Please note that the information provided here is intended to serve as a general guide, and it is important to refer to the specific instructions and guidelines provided by the respective State Boards for accurate and up-to-date information.
When it comes to transferring your certified training hours, licenses, or credentials for cosmetology, nail technology/manicure, and esthetic/aesthetic to or from the Kentucky State Board of Cosmetology and Hairdress, it’s important to be aware of the specific requirements and procedures. Here is a detailed overview to help you navigate the process:
Processing Time and Verification: Please allow a minimum of 30 days for the application processing time due to the high volume of applicants. The office cannot verify the receipt of applications unless it has been more than 30 days since submission. If you require verification, it is recommended to submit your application through traceable means via the postal system.
Certification of License: All out-of-state applicants must obtain a certification of license from the state board that issued the license. This certification should be requested by the applicant from the licensing agency of the state they are transferring from and must be submitted directly from that agency. Certifications cannot be accepted from the applicant directly.
Specific Requirements for Each Program: Different programs have varying requirements for hours and education:
Cosmetologist: 1500 hours of training and a 12th-grade education.
Nail Technician: 450 hours of training and a 12th-grade education.
Esthetician: 750 hours of training and a 12th-grade education.
Apprentice Instructor/Instructor: 750 hours of training and a 12th-grade education.
Certification of Out-of-State Hours: If you have completed hours in another state, you must provide a certification of hours and/or license from the state licensing agency where the hours were obtained. This certification should be requested by you and submitted directly from the transferring state’s licensing agency. Only hours certified by the state licensing agencies will be accepted, and school transcripts will not be accepted.
Equivalent Hours: If your out-of-state hours are equivalent to Kentucky’s hourly requirement for the specific license, you can apply as an Out-of-State Exam applicant.
Insufficient Hours: If your out-of-state hours do not meet Kentucky’s hourly requirement, you must complete the remaining hours required for that license at a school of cosmetology in Kentucky before applying for the licensing exam. Kentucky will only accept the amount of hours required for licensing by the state you are transferring from.
Examinations: The specific examinations required vary for each program:
Cosmetology: Written and Practical examinations.
Nail Technician: Written and Practical examinations.
Esthetician: Written and Practical examinations.
Licensed Out-of-State: If you hold an out-of-state license that was obtained through a nationally certified examination, you may apply for licensure in Kentucky without having to complete the NIC examination. However, if your out-of-state license was not obtained through a nationally certified examination, you will be required to successfully complete the NIC examination (both theory and practical) before licensure can be granted in Kentucky.
Required Documentation for Out-of-State License Transfer Application: Along with your application, you must submit the following documents:
Copy of Applicant’s Driver’s License or State-Issued ID.
Certification of Professional License: This must be requested from the professional licensing board of the state where your license was issued. Certifications should be submitted directly to the Kentucky State Board of Cosmetology.
Proof of 12th Grade Education: Acceptable documentation includes college, high school, or GED transcript or diploma. If your education was obtained outside of the United States, an official translation must be provided.
Please ensure that all requested documentation (except license certification) is included with your transfer application and the corresponding fee as specified on the application form. Incomplete applications missing documentation will not be considered for approval.
Important notice:
Kindly note that the processing time for complete and accurate out-of-state transfer applications received by the Board office is approximately 30 days. We kindly ask you to plan accordingly, considering this timeframe for your application.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Should you have any questions or require further assistance, please feel free to reach out. We are here to help ensure a smooth and efficient transfer process.

Licensed Skincare Specialist – Beauty Esthetician and Medical Aesthetician – The Same 750 hours Required by KY State and Same License Granted by KY State Board of Cosmetology and Hairdresser
Some of us at one point Googling the skincare training program or skincare training institute and encounter these two words: 1- Esthetic and 2- Aesthetic. Matter of fact, when you google esthetic, the term aesthetic comes up with its definition. Schools across the United State have programs and courses in regard to the specific of Esthetic and/or Aesthetic. So what is Esthetic and what is Aesthetic?What are the differences between Esthetic and Aesthetic?
Similarity Between Esthetic and Aesthetic
Similarity Between Beauty Esthetic and Medical Aesthetic
Esthetic and Aesthetic are the SAME in the definition of Oxford Languages. Both words can be used interchangeably as they both means or refers to the appreciation of beauty, and a set of principles underlying and guiding the work of a particular artist or artistic movement. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, โaesthetics also estheticsโ comes together as one.
Esthetician and aesthetician are the SAME; both licensed skin specialists who are trained the state-required 750 hours by the licensed school such as Louisville Beauty Academy, regulated and license examined by the same licensing board – Kentucky State Board of Cosmetology and Hairdressers.
Differences Between Esthetic and Aesthetic
Differences Between Beauty Esthetic and Medical Aesthetic
Esthetic and Aesthetic are the DIFFERENT in an extra โAโ at the beginning. This is similar to the word color and colour. Esthetic is used in American-English language while aesthetics is used in British-English language.
Esthetic and Aesthetic are the DIFFERENT in skincare career work environment context. Esthetician and aesthetician (same licensed skincare specialists) are both licensed after study the same 750 hours at licensed school such as Louisville Beauty Academy, he/she can determine the career focus where he/she want to work at:
Salon Context (skincare and beauty salon)
This licensed skincare specialist is BRANDED as Esthetician
He/she can take continuing education or training in salon focus skill/specialty for salon/beauty care
Medical context (doctor office)
This licensed skincare specialist is BRANDED as Aesthetician or medical aesthetician
He/she can take continuing education or training in medical focus skill/specialty for medical/health care
According to study.com
Beauty esthetician, traditional esthetician and licensed skincare specialist have the following job description:
State license estheticians such as KY State Board of Cosmetology and Hairdressers license esthetician
Conduct skin analysis for health problems and temporarily remove hair.
Clean skin through skin massage, aromatherapy, facials, and skin exfoliation
Focus in cosmetic such as makeup, skincare product recommendation based on skin type
Business tends to be in salons, resorts, fitness clubs and spas environment
Aesthetician, medical aesthetician and licensed skincare specialist in the medical context have the following job description:
State license estheticians such as KY State Board of Cosmetology and Hairdressers license esthetician
Known as clinical or paramedical aestheticians who are often taking additional continue education with a clinical focus.
Conduct skin analysis with medical conditions such as burn victims, cancer patients, and health-related skin issues.
Cleanse and moisturize their skin and also do some cosmetic work like a beauty esthetician
Beauty Esthetician and Medical Aesthetician Always Overlap
There are overlaps between beauty esthetician and medical esthetician because they are required to be trained, regulated, and licensed by the same licensed school such as Louisville Beauty Academy and KY state board of Cosmetology and Hairdressers. The difference is in focus, work environment, and definitely in salary.
In regard to salary, anything that relates to medical tends to stand out as it requires more education and training. Medical fields are also more strictly regulated, therefore medical aesthetician often only works under directly sponsor or supervision of a medical doctor; which it also means salary is often more at the start for medical aesthetician versus beauty esthetician. With that said, beauty industry especially the skincare beauty industry is in the range of $148 Billion in 2020, and it continues to go up according to statista.com. Beauty small business is also quite lucrative and debatably easier than other industries to start. So, salary is debatable for who can make more than who between beauty estheticians and medical aestheticians.

Scholarships/Incentives/Discounts Policy
The scholarship is reserved for those who are qualified, often ones that had exhausted other options such as federal financial aid, military benefits, Kentucky vocational rehabilitation assistance, and other grants. The student has the responsibility to understand the student contracts accordingly.
School scholarship is provided specifically to incentivize attendance and study to graduation. The studentโs scholarship is voided if the student is clock-in and leaves without clocking out. Three-level of the void of the scholarship will happen: 1) $100 scholarship is voided for the first time, 2) $200 scholarship is voided for the second time and 4) the Entire scholarship is voided for the third time. The persistence of this activity will lead to the potential withdrawal of the program.
Attendance Policy
KY state board of cosmetology requires a least some students attendance every two weeks; missing two consecutive weeks would immediately lead to withdrawal from the program. Louisville Beauty Academy accommodates students’ schedules as students work closely with his/her instructor, but all have to fall within the scope of stated requirements from the KY state board. “Flexible schedule DOES NOT mean no attendance in two consecutive weeks. It means attendance happens every week but within the agreement of the instructor and student.” Please read the school catalog for more detail.
Transferred Students
All students’ success is important to Louisville Beauty Academy. To ensure that transferred students are equipped and getting the same level of education from us as all our full-time students, we would ask that all our transferred students to:

Buy Louisville Beauty Academy Student Tool Kits for practical
