KBC School Official Notice: Annual Renewal and Student Contract Policy (Effective July 1, 2025)

At Louisville Beauty Academy, we are committed to full compliance with the Kentucky Board of Cosmetology (KBC) and to serving our students with honesty, fairness, and professionalism.

🔒 Student Contract – No Negotiation Policy

As part of the annual state renewal beginning July 1, 2025, all licensed cosmetology schools in Kentucky—including ours—are now required to submit an official, up-to-date student contract to the state board.

💡 What this means for students:

  • Every student is required to sign the exact same official contract approved and reviewed by the KBC.
  • This ensures equal treatment, transparency, and compliance with Kentucky law.
  • Prices, payment plans, and policies are not negotiable, as they are publicly posted and filed with the state.
  • Any attempt to change terms or request private pricing will be denied out of fairness to all students and to remain in good standing with KBC.

🧾 “We are legally required to apply the same tuition, rules, and terms to all students. This protects everyone and helps prevent future licensing delays or violations.”


🛑 Why This Is Important

Attempting to negotiate pricing, request exceptions, or delay proper documentation can:

  • Put your enrollment or hours at risk
  • Cause delays in graduation or licensing
  • Lead to state violations for the school that may impact your ability to test

We urge all students to:

  • Carefully read the contract before signing
  • Ask questions before enrollment
  • Trust that our pricing is already the lowest, most flexible, and most transparent in the state

📅 Mark Your Calendar

  • Renewal Deadline Begins: July 1, 2025
  • Mandatory PSI School Training: October 13, 2025

Thank you for helping us keep Louisville Beauty Academy the most trusted, state-compliant, and student-success-driven beauty school in Kentucky.

Can Kentucky-Licensed Beauty Professionals Perform Botox? Understanding the Law and Your Role

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.
