Press Release: Editor, The Louisville Courier Journal – Louisville Beauty Academy – 03-10-2021
To: Editor, The Louisville Courier Journal
Date: March 10, 2021
The leaders of Kentucky’s public community colleges raised an important and timely issue (“Will you be ready to go to work…” CJ, 3.8.2021) regarding the resources and support necessary to put Kentuckians back to work as the restrictions from the pandemic abate. The gap between available occupational, technical, and professional career opportunities and the workforce-ready talent to meet them has grown, not shrunk, in the last year. Lifting restrictions and opening in-person enterprises will unleash a tidal wave of pent-up demand that generates economic activity and wealth. The question is, who will benefit from that economic turbo-charge and for how long?
The emphasis on institutional diversity, equity and inclusion appropriately sets expectations that demand much more than status quo. Specifically, the DEI post-pandemic economy should benefit minority and low-income populations, and in a manner that is sustainable and long-term. The post-pandemic workforce and small business community in Louisville must reflect and support economic success and personal achievement by minorities, low-income individuals, immigrants, and those displaced by poor health, military service, and other social circumstances. Principles of diversity and inclusion are paramount.
Include Kentucky-based career colleges in the mix of institutions that are helping individuals re-train, re-skill and re-tool for employment and entrepreneurship post-pandemic. The Louisville Beauty Academy (www.louisvillebeautyacademy.net) and the Louisville Institute of Technology (www.louisvilleit.org) excel at providing on-time, immersive and true work-ready programs that prepare graduates for employment on day one. Completers at LBA immediately go to work for nail and beauty salons because the training specifically ensures their success in earning Kentucky licensure. Likewise, successful apprentices at LIT can attain the Full-Stack Programmer “I Have Done It” certificate in three months. Employers in financial, healthcare, logistics and manufacturing are eager to put those IT professionals to work immediately, solving enterprise system deficiencies and delivering end-to-end interoperability that includes text-driven end user applications.
LIT and LBA programs are extremely specific to the workforce. They are typically shorter and more intense than programs offered at other institutions because they recognize the importance of timely completion and employment. They are highly hands-on, emphasizing practical real-time instruction. The programs are highly affordable and accessible in-person, on-line or in combination.
Community college leaders acknowledged that job-seekers post-pandemic are “most likely to enroll in a nondegree program or seek skills training.” That phenomenon is driven by the economic and entrepreneurial opportunities right around the corner. LBA and LIT are ideal complements to public post-secondary education. The diversity and inclusion principles apply to the academies’ ownership, staff, and student populations. It should also apply to the institutional diversity that is supported in our community to achieve the DEI economic boom that is so necessary.

Read Before Proceeding
The information on this page is provided for general reference only.
Louisville Beauty Academy (LBA) does not interpret, alter, or guarantee compliance with:
- Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS 317A)
- Kentucky Administrative Regulations (201 KAR 12)
- Kentucky State Board of Cosmetology (“KBC”) policies
- Any other state board’s rules
KBC regulations change frequently and without notice. Therefore:
Any information, examples, or summaries on this page may become outdated immediately upon publication.
LBA cannot guarantee accuracy, completeness, or timeliness.
All transfer and licensing decisions are made ONLY by state boards—not by LBA.
By reading this page, you agree that LBA has no liability for changes in agency rules, interpretation of laws, delays, denials, or outcomes.
For the most accurate and current information:
📧 ALWAYS EMAIL THE KENTUCKY STATE BOARD DIRECTLY → kbc@ky.gov
What You MUST Know Before Contacting LBA
Under KRS 317A.050, KRS 317A.060, and 201 KAR 12:082, state boards—NOT schools, NOT students—control:
- Transfer of hours
- Verification of training
- Acceptance or rejection of hours
- Examination requirements
- Licensure decisions
Therefore:
✔ State boards ONLY accept transfer documents directly from other state boards,
✔ State boards do NOT accept documents handed in by students or schools,
✔ LBA CANNOT submit, request, initiate, or influence any transfer.
Before Louisville Beauty Academy can discuss enrollment or remaining hours, you must:
1. Email the Kentucky State Board at kbc@ky.gov
2. Obtain written confirmation of:
- Whether Kentucky accepts your hours
- Exactly how many hours Kentucky will accept
- Whether you must complete additional hours
- Whether you must retake NIC/PSI exams
Without written confirmation from KBC, LBA cannot advise, calculate, or provide hour estimates.
Step-by-Step Process for ALL Out-of-State Transfers
(For Cosmetology, Nail Technology, Esthetics, Instructor Hours)
This process is required by law and applies to all states.
STEP 1 — Contact the State Board You Are Leaving
Request that your previous state board send the following directly to the new state board:
- Certification of License (if applicable)
- Certification of Hours
Per 201 KAR 12:082, state boards will not accept documents hand-delivered by students or schools.
STEP 2 — Allow 15–30 Days for State Processing
Interstate verification timelines vary by state.
Schools cannot accelerate or intervene in this process.
STEP 3 — Contact the Destination State Board
After 15–30 days, request confirmation that they received your verification.
For Kentucky transfers, email:
📧 Kentucky State Board: kbc@ky.gov
They will provide the only legally controlling guidance on:
- Accepted hours
- Remaining hours
- Required examinations
- Eligibility to enroll in a KY school
STEP 4 — Request Your School Transcript
Your former school may need to send an official transcript.
However:
✔ Transcripts do NOT replace certified hours.
✔ Only a state board can certify hours.
Kentucky will only accept hours certified by the state licensing agency—not by the school.
STEP 5 — If Kentucky Requires Additional Hours
Kentucky will send written communication specifying:
- How many hours are accepted
- How many hours you must complete
- Whether you must retake NIC/PSI exams
Only after receiving this written confirmation may you contact Louisville Beauty Academy about enrollment.
✔ LBA can guide you AFTER KBC determines acceptance.
✔ LBA cannot do this step for you.
Kentucky Requirements (For Reference Only — Subject to Change)
These requirements are set by KBC and may change without notice.
- Cosmetologist – 1500 hours
- Nail Technician – 450 hours
- Esthetician – 750 hours
- Instructor – 750 hours
Kentucky accepts only the number of hours required by the state you are coming from.
If your state requires fewer hours, you must complete the remaining hours in Kentucky.
This is a KBC rule, not an LBA decision.
Examination Requirements
Kentucky requires the NIC (PSI-administered) theory and practical examinations for:
- Cosmetology
- Nail Technology
- Esthetics
- Instructor licensing
If your previous state did not use NIC or an equivalent national standard, Kentucky may require full NIC testing.
What LBA Can and Cannot Do
LBA CAN:
- Provide education after KBC authorizes hour completion
- Help you enroll once KBC sends written instruction
- Support you academically through hour completion
- Provide transcripts to you or to KBC after you study at LBA
LBA CANNOT:
❌ initiate any transfer
❌ contact any state board
❌ verify or certify hours
❌ interpret KBC rules
❌ confirm hours for you
❌ calculate remaining hours without KBC documentation
❌ guarantee exam or licensure outcomes
❌ influence state board decisions
All of these actions are controlled by state boards, not schools.
