1. Training Purpose and Activities: All facilities and activities at Louisville Beauty Academy are designed for training purposes. Students must understand and accept that all tasks, including client services, are integral parts of their educational experience.
2. Client Service: Engagement in client services is mandatory as it forms a critical component of training in the service industry. Students are expected to participate willingly and professionally in these activities to gain practical experience.
3. Cleanliness and Infection Control: Maintaining a clean and safe environment is paramount. Students are responsible for their own sanitation practices, including but not limited to cleaning their workstation areas such as tables, chairs, and floors. This responsibility extends to participating in group cleaning activities to ensure that the school environment is consistently clean and conducive to both learning and client servicing. Routine cleaning should occur after servicing each customer, at the beginning of the day before classes start, and at the end of the day before students leave the facility.
4. Professional Attitude and Respect: A professional demeanor is crucial in the service industry. Students are expected to maintain a reserved and focused attitude towards their studies and interactions. Respect towards peers, clients, staff, and instructors is mandatory. Comments concerning other students or clients, especially regarding protected characteristics under Kentucky state law such as race, religion, politics, gender, age, etc., are strictly prohibited. Any physical comments or inappropriate discussions are also forbidden.
5. Conflict Resolution and Reporting: In the event of a conflict with another student, client, instructor, or staff member, the issue should be addressed privately and escalated to the school director if necessary. Creating or contributing to chaos is considered unacceptable behavior.
6. Personal Conduct: Students should keep personal stories and discussions to themselves, particularly when others have expressed a desire not to engage in such conversations. The educational environment should remain professional and focused on collective success rather than individual narratives.
7. Disciplinary Actions: Violations of these professional conduct guidelines may result in disciplinary actions determined at the discretion of the school director. Such actions may include expulsion or withdrawal from the program. It is essential that every student contributes to a learning environment where everyone feels protected, heard, and comfortable.
Evaluation of Conduct: Adherence to these conduct guidelines is part of the training evaluation and is legally binding under this contract. All students must demonstrate professionalism as an ongoing component of their education at Louisville Beauty Academy.
