Salon Boutique Academy LLC

What Salon Boutique Academy LLC does

Salon Boutique Academy LLC is a privately held, TDLR-licensed and NACCAS-accredited cosmetology school headquartered at 4135 Belt Line Road, Suite 102, Addison, Texas, serving prospective beauty-industry students across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Its core offerings are three regulated training programs — a 1,000-hour Cosmetology program (8–16 months), a 750-hour Esthetics program (7–11 months), and a 600-hour Manicurist program (~8 months) — delivered through a hybrid model that combines classroom theory, online resources, and hands-on practice on live models under licensed instructor supervision. The school also operates a public Student Salon and Spa on-site and sells Glymed professional skincare products through a partner storefront, adding secondary fee and retail revenue streams.

The company's commercial model rests on three revenue lines: tuition (one-time, $9,950–$15,850 depending on program), student salon service fees ($7–$120 per treatment), and product resale. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, driven by website content, phone/text outreach, campus tours scheduled via Office 365, email marketing, and alumni referrals. Federal Student Aid eligibility (School Code 042493) allows qualifying students to finance tuition via FAFSA, which materially lowers the affordability barrier to enrollment. The leadership team — Academy Director Leah Tressler, Financial Aid Director Juana Escalante, Registrar Kathy Adkins, Alumni Career Services Manager Ana Alicia Sanchez Burdette, Enrollment Coordinator Stephanie Sanchez, and five named instructors — runs the operation from a single campus. There are no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, M&A activity, or planned geographic expansions in the source data.
