At Louisville Beauty Academy, we don’t just teach beauty skills – we teach responsibility, professionalism, and excellence. The foundation of every beauty professional’s success starts with sanitation and safety, as required by Kentucky State Law (201 KAR 12:100).
We Practice It. We Teach It. We Elevate It.
Sanitation is not just a rule – it is a daily habit, a professional standard, and the key to becoming a licensed beauty expert. Every student at Louisville Beauty Academy is expected to clean and disinfect their workstation before and after class, ensuring a safe and hygienic learning environment.
As a licensed beauty school, we elevate sanitation by making it a daily practice, not just a theory. Our students don’t just learn about sanitation – they live it, practice it, and become experts in it.
