Choosing a beauty school is about more than just tuition—it’s about investing in your future. At Louisville Beauty Academy, a Kentucky State-Licensed and State-Accredited beauty college, affordable tuition meets exceptional quality, creating opportunities for aspiring beauty professionals without the heavy financial burden typical of traditional beauty schools.

Why is Louisville Beauty Academy Significantly More Affordable?

Unlike traditional beauty colleges, Louisville Beauty Academy’s tuition is intentionally set lower because our mission revolves around volume of impact, not maximizing revenue per student. For nearly a decade, we’ve proudly graduated almost 2,000 licensed beauty professionals. These graduates generate an estimated $25 million to $50 million annual economic impact in Kentucky—and that number continues to rise.

Our unique model prioritizes students’ professional success and community contribution over profit margins per student. This means we’d rather graduate more skilled beauty professionals quickly, guiding them into prosperous careers, than charge high tuition fees that limit accessibility.

Quality Education, Tailored to Your Career

At Louisville Beauty Academy, we’re dedicated to teaching you the true trade of beauty—fast. We focus on practical skills, personalized guidance, and specialty training tailored directly to your talents and career goals. While traditional schools may push students toward costly, comprehensive programs that cover everything broadly, we carefully assess each student’s ambitions and strengths.

Our approach emphasizes specialization—whether hair cutting, coloring, braiding, nails, esthetics, microblading, or instructor training—ensuring each graduate enters the beauty industry ready to thrive in their chosen field. We only recommend our comprehensive Cosmetology program (1500 hours) for students genuinely seeking versatility and multiple skills (“Jack of all trades”). Otherwise, we encourage students to master and monetize their strengths efficiently.

Community Impact & Giving Back

Unlike most beauty colleges, Louisville Beauty Academy actively supports our local community by providing the majority of our student salon services for free, as volunteer hours. Students accumulate valuable experience while directly benefiting the community—a true win-win scenario. This initiative shines brightest at our beautiful second campus, located inside the brand-new, state-of-the-art, $23 million Harbor House of Louisville facility, creating smiles every day.

Flexible, Affordable Tuition Plans

Not only is our tuition priced significantly below average (capped under $7,000 for most programs—including supplies, books, and kits), but we also offer interest-free, flexible payment plans starting as low as $100 per month. Combined with generous scholarships, tuition-matching, and incentives, affordability is truly within reach.

Our graduates leave school ready to earn income immediately, positively impacting their families and our state’s economy. At Louisville Beauty Academy, your financial investment is affordable today—and your professional success tomorrow is priceless.

Louisville Beauty Academy: A Beacon of Affordable Beauty Education in the Region

At Louisville Beauty Academy, a Kentucky state-licensed and state-accredited beauty college, our mission is to keep students, licensees, and the public fully informed and compliant with the latest industry regulations. We take regulatory compliance seriously because it protects the integrity of our profession and ensures the safety of our community.

The recent passage of Senate Bill 22 (SB22) in Kentucky introduces new rules and enforcement measures that affect all cosmetologists, estheticians, nail technicians, and beauty industry professionals. Here’s what you need to know to stay compliant and practice legally in the state.

📜 For the full text of SB22, visit:

Kentucky Legislature – SB22 Bill Document

Major Regulatory Changes Under SB22

1. Ban on MMA in Liquid Nail Enhancement Products

SB22 officially bans the use of monomeric methyl methacrylate (MMA) in liquid form for nail enhancements. This law is designed to protect clients and nail technicians from the harmful effects of MMA, including:

❌ Severe nail damage due to MMA’s overly strong bonding properties.

❌ Increased allergic reactions and health risks from MMA fumes.

❌ Difficult and unsafe removal process leading to excessive filing or nail trauma.

🔹 What’s Still Allowed?

✅ Ethyl Methacrylate (EMA) is legal and remains the industry standard for safe and professional acrylic nails.

💡 How to Stay Compliant?

✔ Always check your product labels and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) to ensure they are MMA-free.

✔ Purchase from reputable beauty suppliers that explicitly state their products do not contain MMA.

✔ Train students and nail technicians in proper application techniques using EMA to ensure strong and safe enhancements.

2. New Licensing and Enforcement Measures

SB22 strengthens the Kentucky State Board of Cosmetology’s power to:

🔹 Investigate unlicensed activity and enforce penalties.

🔹 Take emergency action against salons violating health and safety standards.

🔹 Require all beauty professionals to be properly licensed before practicing, teaching, or operating a salon or school.

💡 How to Stay Compliant?

✔ Make sure your license is always up to date.

✔ If you are an employer, verify the licenses of all employees to avoid penalties.

✔ Louisville Beauty Academy provides state-approved training to help students meet all licensing requirements efficiently.

3. Emergency Enforcement Powers of the Board

SB22 expands the Kentucky Board of Cosmetology’s authority to take immediate action in situations where public health and safety are at risk.

🔹 When Can Emergency Action Be Taken?

The Board can issue an emergency order if:

✅ A salon or individual is engaged in unlicensed practice.

✅ There is an immediate public health or safety risk (e.g., unsanitary conditions, use of banned substances like MMA, or dangerous procedures).

✅ A serious violation is verified through substantial evidence.

🔹 What Can the Board Do?

✔ Shut down a business temporarily until compliance is met.

✔ Suspend or revoke a license if violations are severe.

✔ Issue fines and legal penalties for repeat offenders.

✔ Require corrective action before allowing a salon to reopen.

💡 How to Stay Compliant?

✔ Maintain a clean and safe salon environment at all times.

✔ Ensure all employees are properly licensed and following regulations.

✔ Keep accurate records of sanitation procedures, product ingredients, and employee licensing.

4. Unlimited Licensing Exam Retakes

SB22 introduces a major benefit for beauty professionals:

✅ Unlimited retakes of the cosmetology, nail technician, esthetician, or instructor exams until the applicant passes.

✅ Nail technicians who fail an exam must wait one month before retaking the test.

💡 How to Prepare?

✔ Take advantage of practice exams and board exam prep courses at Louisville Beauty Academy.

✔ Use our hands-on training programs to build confidence before testing.

5. Strict Hygiene and Sanitation Standards

Kentucky is reinforcing hygiene regulations in salons and schools to protect public health. New requirements include:

✔ Clean towels or disposable paper for each client.

✔ Proper tool sterilization before each use.

✔ No reuse of towels on multiple clients unless properly laundered.

✔ Use of callus graters remains legal, but must be done safely and hygienically.

💡 How to Stay Compliant?

✔ Ensure all salon staff follows Kentucky Board of Cosmetology sanitation guidelines.

✔ Train students in proper disinfecting procedures to maintain a safe work environment.

6. Limitations on Estheticians’ Scope of Practice

SB22 now restricts estheticians from performing certain procedures unless under a licensed physician’s supervision, including:

🚫 Botox or collagen injections

🚫 Laser treatments

🚫 Electrolysis

🚫 Permanent makeup & microblading

🚫 Piercing & tattoos

💡 How to Stay Compliant?

✔ Ensure estheticians only perform services they are legally allowed to do under Kentucky law.

✔ Louisville Beauty Academy provides state-approved training on esthetic procedures that comply with all regulations.

Why Compliance Matters: Protecting Your Career & Clients

At Louisville Beauty Academy, we believe that compliance is key to a successful and safe beauty career. By understanding and following SB22 regulations, you can:

✅ Avoid fines and legal penalties.

✅ Build trust with clients by following best practices.

✅ Ensure long-term success in the beauty industry.

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

Louisville Beauty Academy is growing, and we invite you to be a part of this movement. Whether you want to:
✔ Enroll as a student and start your career in beauty
✔ Become an instructor and inspire the next generation
✔ Invest in opening a new school location and expand this mission
✔ Partner with us to serve the community

The opportunity is here. The future is bright. The mission is real.

Louisville Beauty Academy: Bridging Technology and Compliance

Louisville Beauty Academy, a Kentucky state-licensed and state-accredited beauty college, is a leader in cosmetology education. Renowned for its advanced technology, the academy utilizes AI-assisted multi-language support and the Milady CIMA online system, which dominates over 80% of the U.S. market. These tools enhance learning for students of diverse backgrounds while maintaining a primary focus on English instruction. Despite these technological capabilities, Louisville Beauty Academy adheres to strict Kentucky state laws that mandate all beauty instruction for licensing purposes be conducted onsite at a licensed facility.

---

Understanding Kentucky State Law for Onsite Instruction

Many students and community members often question why virtual or online study is not permitted, especially during severe weather conditions, such as the ice storm in January 2025. The reason is rooted in Kentucky state law. Licensing regulations stipulate that beauty instruction must take place onsite to ensure students receive the hands-on, supervised training necessary for developing practical cosmetology skills. This law safeguards the integrity and quality of the training process, ensuring that graduates are well-prepared for the professional beauty industry.

---

Emergency Alternative Education: Limited Exceptions

While the law generally prohibits virtual learning for licensing purposes, there are narrowly defined provisions for Emergency Alternative Education. These provisions are only applicable under specific conditions declared by state or national authorities, such as a State of Emergency.

For instance, during the January 2025 ice storm, the Governor declared a State of Emergency for certain areas, allowing beauty schools like Louisville Beauty Academy to use Emergency Alternative Education for Monday, January 6, 2025. However, the conditions for such exceptions are stringent:

1. Pre-Approval and Planning: Schools must submit a detailed plan to the Kentucky Board of Cosmetology (KBC) at least 10 days before implementing digital learning. The plan must outline the content scope and a strategy for transitioning into a digital training environment.
2. Attendance Records: Full, auditable attendance records must be maintained, detailing the actual contact time each student spends in the instruction module.
3. Approved Platforms: Only approved digital curriculum platforms, such as Milady or Pivot Point, or recorded video conference participation are allowed.
4. Curriculum Compliance: Emergency education must adhere strictly to the regulated instructional hours and content standards.
5. Certificates of Completion: Completion certificates showing final scores on digital modules must be kept in student records for auditing purposes.
6. Time Limits: Students cannot exceed the total required theory instruction hours outlined in the regulations, even during emergencies.

These provisions are temporary and only apply for the duration of the declared emergency. Schools must strictly comply with these regulations to maintain their licensing status.
