5. Tuition, Fees, and Total Cost Disclosure
LBA Affordability Advantage
Possible lowest eligible net cost for this program: $900.00
Standard contracted program cost: $2,500.00. The lower figure is a possible conditional outcome only when all applicable optional incentives, discounts, documentation duties, attendance expectations, and approval requirements are fully satisfied, verified, approved, and lawfully combined under the School's written pricing structure.
Price-match review: Louisville Beauty Academy is committed to strong affordability, flexibility, care, compliance, and student value. Students may ask the School Director at enrollment about any current written price-match review opportunity, subject to program fit, documentation, eligibility, available written offers, School policy, and director approval.
Any approved incentive, discount, or price-match adjustment must be stated in writing before it becomes part of the Student's enrollment terms. No discount, graduation, licensure, employment, income, or board approval outcome is guaranteed.
Payment Plan, Discount, and Graduation Balance Terms
Flexible payment application: The Student may make payments in any School-accepted manner and at any School-accepted time, unless a separate written payment schedule requires otherwise. Every accepted payment is applied toward the Student's total account balance, including tuition, fees, supplies, charges, and any other written amount owed under the Student's enrollment documents.
Balance due before graduation: The Student remains responsible for the full unpaid balance after all accepted payments, approved written discounts, approved written incentives, and approved written credits are applied. Any remaining unpaid balance must be paid in full before graduation, or no later than the scheduled graduation/completion date, before final graduation clearance, completion documentation, transcript release, certificate release, or other school completion processing, except where a different written arrangement is approved by the School in writing.
Automatic payment-plan status when not paid in full: If the Student does not pay the full amount due in full at enrollment, or if the Student does not fully satisfy all written conditions required for an optional discount, incentive, price-match, or lowest-eligible-net-cost arrangement, the Student's account may be treated as being on a payment plan. Choosing not to accept, not to qualify for, not to document, or not to complete all conditions for optional discounts or incentives does not remove the Student's responsibility to pay the remaining standard contracted balance unless a different written agreement is signed or approved by the School.
Minimum monthly payment to remain current: Unless the School approves a different written payment schedule, a Student on a payment plan should pay at least $500.00 per month toward the account balance. If less than $500.00 is paid by the applicable monthly due date while the Student is on a payment plan, the account may be considered not current and a $100.00 late/payment-plan fee may be added for that month, to the extent permitted by applicable law and School policy.
No oral statement changes these payment terms. Any exception, discount, incentive, payment schedule, fee waiver, or modified balance term must be approved by the School in writing before it becomes binding.
Affordability and price-match review at enrollment: Louisville Beauty Academy strives to remain one of the most price-competitive beauty education options available. Students may ask the School Director at the time of enrollment about any current written price-match review opportunity, subject to program fit, documentation, eligibility, available written offers, school policy, and director approval. Any approved price match or incentive must be stated in writing before it becomes part of the Student's enrollment terms.
Kentucky specialty-permit notice: The Student understands that this course is training for a Kentucky eyelash extension specialty permit pathway. Completion of training alone does not authorize the Student to provide regulated eyelash services unless the Student satisfies all current Kentucky Board of Cosmetology permit requirements. Current Kentucky Board information, statutes, regulations, applications, and specialty-permit guidance are available through kbc.ky.gov.
The School's current source materials reflect a published standard package cost of $2,500.00 for this program, subject to confirmation at the time of signing.
Published source components presently reflected are:
- Tuition: $2,200.00
- Registration fee: $100.00
- Books and materials: $50.00
- Student kit: $150.00
- Optional translated foreign diploma fee: $125.00
- Optional validation fee: $265.00
Amount due at signing/enrollment: $____. Amount due before or on the first day of class: $____. All fees are due before or on the first day of class unless the School separately approves another arrangement in writing. Any approved alternative payment arrangement must be written, dated, and signed or electronically acknowledged before it is relied upon.
For clarity, the standard contracted program cost remains $2,500.00 unless and until optional incentives are actually earned, approved, and applied. Current source materials also reflect a maximum conditional tuition reduction of $1,600.00 and a lowest possible net cost of $900.00 if all applicable optional conditions are fully satisfied and approved. That reduced figure is a conditional outcome only, not a guaranteed tuition amount.
6. Financial Responsibility and Payment Expectations
The Student agrees to pay all tuition, fees, and other agreed charges stated in this Agreement.
Because this is a short-duration course, payment plans are not ordinarily offered unless separately approved by the School in writing. If the School does approve any alternative payment arrangement, the terms must be stated in writing with clear due dates and amounts.
Any late fee, returned-payment fee, administrative fee, or collection-related fee must be specifically stated, finite, and disclosed in writing.
7. Attendance, Hours, and Record Integrity
The Student must follow the School's attendance procedures and participate fully in all required class hours.
The Student may not clock in or out for another person; allow another person to clock in or out on the Student's behalf; create false attendance records; remain clocked in while not participating as required; or manipulate attendance, theory, practical, sanitation, or instructional records.
The School shall maintain attendance and instructional records in accordance with law and School policy.
This Agreement intentionally separates (1) whether hours were actually attended and properly recorded and (2) whether money remains owed. Nonpayment may affect release, certification, separation, or state-submission processing to the extent allowed by law and School policy, but completed and truthfully recorded hours should not be described as fictional solely because of a debt unless current law expressly permits such treatment.
7A. Attendance Policy, Communication Duty, Hardship Review, and Absence Acknowledgment
Because this program is only 16 hours and runs on a compressed schedule, attendance reliability is essential. Louisville Beauty Academy does not routinely guarantee a formal leave of absence, medical leave, personal leave, makeup day, or pre-approved extended absence as a standard feature of this short course.
- The Student is expected to contact the School immediately when illness, family emergency, transportation problems, or other hardship interferes with attendance.
- The School may review individual circumstances and may, but is not obligated to, offer a rescheduling option, additional review, or another internal solution.
- Any discretionary consideration is not guaranteed and depends on the Student's communication, timing, conduct standing, and the specific circumstances presented.
- Because the course is short, silence or failure to attend may quickly make completion impossible within the scheduled cohort.
- If the Student does not complete the scheduled course and the School permits re-entry or transfer into another course date, any re-entry, additional charge, or carry-forward treatment must be governed by the School's written policy and any applicable law.
By signing this Agreement, the Student confirms that the Student has read this attendance policy, understands that hardship review is discretionary rather than guaranteed, and understands that prompt communication materially affects whether the School can consider any option.
8. Incentives, Scholarships, Discounts, and Conditional Reductions
The School may offer eligible students access to a structured package of optional merit-based discounts, incentives, and scholarship-style conditional cost reductions that may reduce the Student's net program cost when the applicable conditions are fully satisfied, documented, verified, and approved by the School.
These opportunities are entirely optional. The Student is not required to participate in public posting, tagging, review activity, sponsor activity, or extra self-documentation in order to enroll, remain enrolled, receive instruction, or complete the program at the standard contracted price.
A. Economic Baseline and Maximum Conditional Reduction
- Standard contracted program cost: $2,500.00
- Possible lowest eligible net cost if all applicable optional incentives are fully earned and approved: $900.00
- Maximum possible conditional reduction from the standard contracted cost: $1,600.00
The reduced figure above is a conditional possible outcome only. It is not automatic, is not guaranteed, and does not apply unless the School verifies that the applicable incentive conditions were actually satisfied.
B. Incentive Lanes and Student Expectations Currently Reflected in Source Materials
- Pre-class theory mastery and educational documentation lane
Maximum value: up to $500.00
Example structure: 5 approved theory-module completions at $100.00 per module
Required action: complete the required theory modules identified by the School before class, with screenshot proof, educational reflection, and any required documentation method stated by the School.
- Digital reputation training and professional communication practice lane
Maximum value: up to $300.00
Required action: complete the School's approved mock reputation-training exercise, such as lawful professional request templates, review-response practice, or educational reflection work.
Important limit: this lane may train professional communication, but no actual public review, endorsement, or star rating may be required.
- Live model competency, sanitation, and documentation lane
Maximum value: up to $300.00
Required action: pass instructor competency review, demonstrate sanitation compliance, complete required model-service acknowledgments, and submit any required educational documentation.
Important limit: tuition credit must be based on competency and documentation, not on star ratings or praise.
- Professional completion and readiness documentation lane
Maximum value: up to $500.00
Required action: complete instructor-approved professional readiness documentation, sanitation documentation, model-service preparation documentation, or portfolio-style educational documentation identified by the School in writing before certification processing.
Important limit: this lane must be based on documented educational readiness and cannot require a public endorsement, required star rating, or compelled promotional statement.
C. Student Self-Tracking and Submission Duty
The Student is responsible for maintaining a personal record of claimed incentive activity. Unless the School instructs otherwise in writing, the Student should keep screenshots, module proof, written reflections, model acknowledgments, sanitation proof, dates of each claimed action, and copies of any text or email submissions made to the School.
Because this is a short-duration course, qualifying activity should be submitted promptly and no later than certification processing. The School may deny late, missing, unverifiable, or poorly documented claims.
D. Review Independence and Non-Coercion Rule
Any actual public Google or Yelp review by a student, sponsor, or model must be voluntary and independent.
No tuition credit, academic credit, certification decision, or financial incentive may be conditioned on a required star rating, required endorsement, or required positive public statement. No specific star rating may be required.
E. Career-Credit Scorecard and Internal Review
The School may evaluate qualifying incentive work through an internal career-credit scorecard or career-credit scoring system that measures documented professionalism, sanitation reliability, safety reliability, attendance discipline, theory completion, model-service readiness, truthful professional self-documentation or portfolio-style educational documentation, where optional and lawful, employability-building behavior, and respectful representation of the School.
This scorecard is an internal educational review tool only. It is not a consumer credit score, lending score, or financial credit instrument.
F. Award, Denial, Forfeiture, and Interpretation
Optional incentive credit is earned only after the required condition is actually completed and verified by the School. Incentive credit may be denied, reduced, reversed, or forfeited if the Student withdraws, is dismissed, falsifies records, engages in misconduct, or materially fails to satisfy the School's written standards.
The School's incentive system is intended to reward documented discipline, safety, sanitation, employability, professional maturity, effort, educational follow-through, and career-credit growth. It is not intended to compel speech, require false praise, require guaranteed positive public statements, or force any student to engage in public activity against the Student's will.
9. Academic Progress, Practical Performance, and Graduation Standards
To complete the program and qualify for a certificate of completion, the Student must complete all 16 required hours; satisfy required theory and practical components; comply with sanitation and safety standards; meet instructor competency expectations; and remain in conduct standing sufficient for completion.
The Student understands that enrollment does not guarantee completion; completion does not guarantee Kentucky Board permit approval; and a training certificate alone does not authorize the Student to provide regulated eyelash services. Permit approval, employment-location disclosure, infection-control requirements, state fees, and other requirements may be controlled by the Kentucky Board of Cosmetology or other authorities outside the School's control.
10. Professional Conduct, Discipline, and Immediate Removal Authority
The School maintains a discipline-first, safety-first, and sanitation-first training environment. The Student agrees to comply with all written School rules related to conduct, sanitation, attendance, instruction, safety, professionalism, confidentiality, and respect for the learning environment.
The School may issue warning, probation, suspension, administrative withdrawal, dismissal, or termination when the Student engages in conduct including, but not limited to: disruption of instruction or operations; insubordination; threatening, abusive, intimidating, or harassing behavior; dishonesty or falsification of records; unsafe conduct; sanitation violations; interference with staff, students, models, clients, or operations; or behavior that, in the School's reasonable judgment, undermines the safety, order, integrity, or lawful operation of the institution.
The School expressly reserves the right to require a Student to leave the premises immediately, or to suspend access immediately, when the School determines that the Student presents a disruption, safety concern, sanitation concern, operational threat, record-integrity issue, or material conduct violation.
11. Sanitation, Safety, Model-Service Readiness, and Institutional Environment
The Student shall follow all sanitation, infection-control, eye-area safety, adhesive safety, tool-handling, workstation-cleanliness, and model-service rules of the School. Failure to do so may result in immediate corrective action, removal from practical activity, suspension, or dismissal.
Because eyelash extension work involves client proximity, eye-area sensitivity, and sanitation-critical practical work, the School may restrict a Student from live-model participation until the School determines that the Student meets sanitation, safety, professionalism, and instructional-readiness standards.
12. Health, Fitness to Participate, and Accommodation Discussion
The Student affirms that the Student can safely participate in the educational activities of the program or will timely request discussion of any accommodation need or significant limitation. The School does not waive and the Student does not waive any applicable rights under law by this section.
13. Withdrawal, Dismissal, Termination, and Refund Structure
This Agreement must work together with the School's written cancellation and refund policy, which must be attached or provided before signature.
Withdrawal may also occur under the attendance and communication duties described in Section 7A of this Agreement.
For this short course, the School's current cancellation language reflected in source materials states that if a student cancels within three business days of signing and before the start of class, a refund may be issued minus specifically identified non-refundable charges. After the course has begun, the School's written short-course rule controls. That rule must be stated clearly in writing before signature.
If the Student withdraws, is dismissed, or cannot complete the course, the School should prepare a written separation accounting showing total charges, payments received, refund treatment if any, remaining balance if any, and the status of School-issued records.
If the School permanently closes, or permanently discontinues the Student's program after enrollment and before completion, the School will administer any required refund or student-account adjustment in accordance with applicable law and legally controlling refund requirements then in effect.
14. Complaints, Grievances, and Lawful Reporting
The Student should first present concerns to the School when practical so the School has a reasonable opportunity to respond. However, the Student does not waive the right to contact a regulator, file a lawful complaint, consult counsel, provide truthful information to investigators, courts, or government agencies, or assert rights provided by law.
This Agreement does not attempt to prohibit truthful reporting, lawful complaints, or lawful participation in an investigation.
15. Incorporated Documents
Only the following documents may be treated as binding if they were provided to the Student before signature: current School catalog; current cancellation and refund policy; current pricing sheet; any attached short-course policy; any attached incentive or discount schedule; and any handbook or conduct policy expressly identified in writing.
The School should not rely on unstated website override language or unpublished internal practice to change the signed deal after enrollment.
17. Media and Publicity
Any consent for photographs, audio, video, or promotional use should be handled through a separate optional release and should not be required as a mandatory condition of enrollment unless lawful program necessity clearly requires otherwise and is separately explained.
