Louisville Beauty Academy: Creating Smiles & Empowering Lives

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:

  1. Providing FREE services to all in need—ensuring beauty is accessible to everyone, with NO barriers.
  2. 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.

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.

The Louisville Beauty Academy Advantage: Elevating Education by Eliminating Waste and Maximizing Value for Students

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

If you are considering a beauty school, don’t let national accreditation mislead you. Ask about graduation rates, employment rates, and licensing success—because those are what truly matter.

YES I CAN”: How Louisville Beauty Academy Empowers Graduates to Apply for the Licensing Exam Immediately

At Louisville Beauty Academy, we emphasize the “YES I CAN” mentality—an evidence-based, psychological approach to overcoming fears and challenges. One of the biggest hurdles our graduates face after completing their program is taking the licensing exam. For many, this exam represents the first and possibly only standardized test of its kind in their lives, and the fear of failure can feel overwhelming. But here’s the truth: the first and most important step is not perfection; it’s action.

The Psychological Barrier: Fear of the Unknown

The fear of taking the licensing exam is a common psychological hurdle. Many graduates feel unprepared, question their readiness, or worry about failing. This fear is natural, especially for those who have never experienced college or formal education systems that involve standardized testing. But fear thrives in the unknown. The best way to dismantle it? Dive in and take action.

Applying for and sitting for your licensing exam—even if you don’t feel fully ready—is a win in itself. Why? Because the moment you take that step, you break the psychological barrier of fear and uncertainty. You learn what the process entails, familiarize yourself with the computerized format, and gain insight into what is expected from the exam.

The First Step is Progress, Not Perfection

Let’s draw a comparison. Many high school students preparing for college take the ACT or SAT multiple times. Rarely do they achieve their highest scores on the first attempt. Success comes from learning the process, identifying areas for improvement, and building confidence over time. Similarly, the licensing exam is not a one-and-done situation. Thanks to Senate Bill 14 (2024), you can retake your licensing exam as frequently as once a month if needed. This flexibility ensures that every attempt is a step closer to success.

The goal of your first attempt isn’t to ace the exam—it’s to overcome the mental block and gain experience. Remember, taking action, no matter the result, is already a victory.

Learning by Doing: Why Your First Attempt Matters

For many graduates, especially those without a family history of higher education or professional licensing, this might be the only licensing exam they ever take. It’s not just about passing; it’s about learning the process and building confidence. Sitting for the exam allows you to:

  • Understand the computerized system and testing environment.
  • Identify the structure and style of questions asked.
  • Pinpoint areas where you can improve for the next attempt.
  • Build the psychological resilience needed to succeed.

At Louisville Beauty Academy, we foster a culture of resilience and empowerment. We encourage our students to embrace the mindset of “I HAVE DONE IT” from the moment they take their first step toward the exam. Every attempt builds confidence, reduces anxiety, and brings you closer to achieving your professional goals.

Overcoming Challenges: The Power of “YES I CAN”

The “YES I CAN” mentality is at the core of our mission at Louisville Beauty Academy. By applying for and taking your licensing exam immediately, you demonstrate to yourself and others that you are capable of facing challenges head-on. Regardless of the outcome, taking the first step is a declaration of your determination and belief in your abilities.

For those who fear failure, remember: failure is not a permanent state—it’s a stepping stone to growth. At Louisville Beauty Academy, we walk alongside our students and graduates as a family, encouraging and supporting them every step of the way. Together, we overcome challenges and celebrate every victory, no matter how small.

Take Charge of Your Future

The licensing exam is not just a test of your technical skills; it’s a test of your resilience, determination, and willingness to take action. By applying for and taking the exam immediately after graduation, you set the tone for your future career. You prove to yourself that you are capable of achieving your goals, regardless of the obstacles in your path.

So, don’t wait. Take the leap. Apply for your licensing exam today, prepare as much as you can, and take the exam with confidence. Whether you pass on the first try or need additional attempts, the most important thing is that you’ve started the journey. At Louisville Beauty Academy, we believe in you—and we know you can do it. Let’s walk toward success together.

Legal Disclaimer

Louisville Beauty Academy provides education and resources to prepare students for licensing exams and careers but makes no guarantees regarding exam results, employment, or other outcomes. Students are responsible for their own effort, compliance with licensing requirements, and application processes. The academy is not liable for any delays, denials, or losses related to licensure, employment, or personal decisions. Success depends on individual dedication and performance. By enrolling, students agree to these terms and acknowledge that outcomes are their sole responsibility.

Choose Your Future Wisely: Why Louisville Beauty Academy Stands Out as a Debt-Free Option

When choosing a beauty college—or any college—one critical question should guide your decision: “How much debt am I getting into?” At Louisville Beauty Academy, we believe your education should unlock opportunities, not weigh you down with financial burdens.

As a Kentucky state-licensed and state-accredited beauty college, Louisville Beauty Academy is dedicated to providing an affordable, practical education that sets you on the path to a fulfilling career in the beauty industry. Our approach prioritizes flexibility, affordability, and student success, empowering you to graduate ready to thrive—without unnecessary financial strain.

Graduate Debt-Free: A Win-Win Opportunity

At Louisville Beauty Academy, we recognize that everyone benefits when students succeed. That’s why we encourage you to work hard and graduate quickly, providing a path that minimizes costs and maximizes outcomes. For those committed to this goal, we offer tuition discounts of up to 50-75%, allowing you to graduate with little to no debt. This approach is more than a financial advantage—it’s a transformative opportunity to start your career strong and unburdened.

Flexible and Affordable Options for Every Student

Life is unpredictable, and not everyone can follow the same path. That’s why we also offer flexible schedules for students balancing work, family, or other commitments. Even if you can’t complete your education on an accelerated timeline, you’ll find our programs affordable, practical, and designed to fit your life. With a pay-as-you-go model, you can focus on learning and progressing without the stress of accumulating debt.

Why Louisville Beauty Academy?

  1. State-Licensed and Accredited: Rest assured that your education meets the highest standards in Kentucky.
  2. Affordability and Flexibility: Tailored tuition plans and schedules prioritize your financial well-being and personal needs.
  3. Debt-Free Graduation Potential: Our discounts and payment options ensure you can complete your education without financial stress.
  4. Proven Success: With over 1,000 graduates—many of them new immigrants—and a nearly 90% job placement rate, our results speak for themselves.
  5. Student-Centric Philosophy: Whether you want to graduate quickly or take your time, we’re here to support your journey every step of the way.

Your Real Education Begins After Licensure

While Louisville Beauty Academy equips you with the knowledge and skills to pass the state licensing exam, we emphasize that your true learning journey starts when you enter the workforce. Success in the beauty industry comes from hands-on experience, building relationships with clients, and continuously honing your craft. We focus on getting you to the starting line—licensed, confident, and ready to grow.

Empowerment Through Choice

At Louisville Beauty Academy, we empower our students by giving them choices. Whether you aim to graduate quickly with minimal costs or need a flexible approach, we’ll help you find the path that works for you. The power of choice and control over your future is what sets us apart.

Your Future Begins Today

When you choose Louisville Beauty Academy, you’re not just enrolling in a beauty program—you’re making a meaningful investment in yourself and your future. Let us help you take control of your career with an education that prioritizes your success without compromising your financial health.

Ask yourself: “How much debt am I willing to carry into my future?” At Louisville Beauty Academy, the answer can be: “None.”

Take the first step toward a brighter, debt-free tomorrow. Join Louisville Beauty Academy and start building the future you deserve.

Disclaimer

Louisville Beauty Academy is a Kentucky state-licensed and state-accredited beauty college. Programs are designed to meet state requirements for licensure. Graduation from the Academy does not guarantee licensure, as students must pass the state licensing exam. Tuition discounts, flexible schedules, and time to completion depend on individual circumstances, including attendance and academic performance. The Academy provides career guidance but does not guarantee job placement. Program details and outcomes vary by student, and prospective students should contact the Academy for tailored information. Louisville Beauty Academy is committed to maintaining an inclusive and supportive environment for all students.

Why Louisville Beauty Academy Cannot Provide Extensive Guidance to Non-Students: A Commitment to Excellence and Transparency

Louisville Beauty Academy takes immense pride in serving as a hub of knowledge and a center of excellence for beauty education in Kentucky and the city of Louisville. As an institution dedicated to cultivating talent and guiding students toward licensure and success in the beauty industry, we are committed to transparency and professionalism in every aspect of our operations.

While we strive to support and elevate the beauty industry through education, it is essential to recognize that the academy has limitations when it comes to advising individuals who are not current students or graduates of the academy. This is not a matter of exclusivity but a necessary measure to ensure accuracy, integrity, and legal compliance.

Louisville Beauty Academy: A Community of Support

At Louisville Beauty Academy, we view our students and graduates as family. This connection is built on a foundation of trust, shared understanding, and thorough knowledge of each individual’s background, goals, and progress. It allows us to provide personalized guidance that aligns with the rigorous standards of beauty licensure and the specific needs of our students.

For individuals who are not yet part of the Louisville Beauty Academy family—such as transfer students from other schools or states—it is challenging for the academy to provide detailed advice or guidance. Without access to their educational history, prior training, or specific circumstances, offering recommendations would be speculative and potentially inaccurate.

Why Guidance Is Limited for Non-Students

  1. Lack of Background Knowledge:
    • Each state and institution may have unique requirements and curricula for beauty education. Without knowing your specific background, training, or experience, the academy cannot provide informed or tailored advice.
  2. Licensing and Legal Considerations:
    • As a regulated beauty institution, Louisville Beauty Academy is required to ensure that all advice and guidance align with state laws and licensing standards. Offering detailed recommendations without full knowledge of your circumstances could inadvertently conflict with these standards.
  3. Focus on Accuracy and Integrity:
    • Miscommunication or incomplete advice could lead to misunderstandings or mistakes in your licensing journey. To avoid such scenarios, the academy focuses its detailed guidance exclusively on enrolled students and graduates, whose backgrounds and progress are well-documented.

The Brush-Up Course: A Pathway to Join the Academy Family

For those who need extensive support, Louisville Beauty Academy offers an 80-hour brush-up course. This program allows individuals to formally join the academy and provides an opportunity for the school to understand their needs, background, and training comprehensively. While the course does not guarantee licensure or specific outcomes, it positions participants as part of the academy’s community, enabling the school to offer tailored guidance and support.

What Louisville Beauty Academy Can Share

While detailed, personalized advice is reserved for enrolled students, the academy remains committed to supporting the broader beauty community by:

  • Providing general information about the school’s programs and offerings.
  • Sharing insights into the licensing process in Kentucky.
  • Offering resources for understanding state-specific regulations and requirements.

Transparency and Commitment to Excellence

Louisville Beauty Academy is proud to lead by example, emphasizing the importance of transparency, integrity, and professionalism in beauty education. By setting clear boundaries on the guidance we can offer to non-students, we ensure that all advice provided is accurate, legally compliant, and genuinely beneficial.

For those who wish to benefit from the academy’s expertise, we encourage you to explore our programs, including the brush-up course, and become part of the Louisville Beauty Academy family. Together, we can work toward your success in the beauty industry with the full support and resources of our institution.

At Louisville Beauty Academy, we pride ourselves on building a community that supports lifelong learning and growth. Although your student contract concludes upon graduation, we welcome you to stay connected. Our doors remain open for advice, learning opportunities, and mutual knowledge-sharing whenever our resources and availability allow.

You are welcome to return to practice your skills, mentor current students, or engage in discussions to stay updated on industry trends. However, please note that these opportunities are voluntary services provided upon availability and are not legally binding.


2. Capture Your Graduation Certificate

After graduation, take a picture of your school certificate immediately. This certificate is crucial for:

  • Proof of Graduation: It serves as verification for your professional credentials.
  • State Board Requirements: It assists with the licensing process by providing proof of your training completion.
  • Promotional Uses: It highlights your achievements for self-promotion and reflects positively on the school and community.

This step is vital for ensuring your credibility as a licensed beauty professional and for maintaining alignment with industry standards.


3. Licensing Process with the Kentucky State Board of Cosmetology

Once Louisville Beauty Academy notifies the Kentucky State Board of Cosmetology about your graduation, the board has 30 days to process your status. Here’s how the process works:

  • PSI Licensing Exam Coordination: The state board will work with PSI, a national beauty licensing agency, to email you a link to schedule your exams.
  • Start with the Theory Exam: The theory exam must be passed before you can schedule the practical exam. Focus on theory preparation first; you are welcome to return to the academy to practice for your practical exam as a volunteer service.
  • Exam Scheduling: Use the same email address you provided during enrollment to create an account with PSI, as this is required for validation by both the state board and PSI.

4. Unlimited Exam Opportunities Under Senate Bill 14

Thanks to Senate Bill 14 (2024), graduates of nail programs and other disciplines can retake licensing exams as frequently as once per month if needed. This provides flexibility and ensures you have ample opportunities to succeed. Nearby testing centers include the University of Louisville Testing Center and Jefferson Community and Technical College (JCTC), with more locations being added.
