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.
Below is a complete breakdown of the sanitation and safety requirements we uphold every day at Louisville Beauty Academy:
General Cleaning Requirements (201 KAR 12:100, Section 1)
All facilities and equipment are continuously maintained in a clean and sanitary condition. An adequate supply of hot and cold running water is always available. Students and licensees must wash their hands before and after serving each client.
Workstation & Surface Cleaning (201 KAR 12:100, Sections 2 & 5)
Workstations, shampoo bowls, treatment tables, styling chairs, and surfaces must be cleaned and disinfected daily and after each client. Each workstation must have a disinfectant solution available for cleaning between clients.
Tools & Implements Cleaning (201 KAR 12:100, Sections 4 & 5)
All tools and implements must be cleaned and disinfected before and after every use. No tool, instrument, or item shall be used on multiple clients without proper sanitation. Multi-use items must be stored in a closed, labeled, and sanitary container.
Trash & Debris Removal (201 KAR 12:100, Section 6)
Hair, nail clippings, and debris must be swept and disposed of immediately after each service. Waste containers must be emptied daily to maintain cleanliness.

Disinfectant Requirements (201 KAR 12:100, Sections 5 & 8)
Only EPA-registered disinfectants are used in our school and salon. Disinfectants must be clearly labeled and stored properly. All students must follow manufacturer guidelines for proper use and disposal of disinfectants.

Restrooms are cleaned and disinfected daily to maintain hygiene. Handwashing stations with soap and disposable towels are available for all students and clients.
Why This Matters for Your Beauty License
Sanitation and safety are critical subjects required for beauty licensing. Practicing these standards daily prepares students to become professional, responsible, and successful beauty experts. Failure to follow sanitation rules can result in disciplinary actions, fines, or even loss of licensure.
