🪩⭐️ BEFORE THERE WAS AN AWARD, THERE WAS A BEGINNING. ⭐️🪩

There was a first day.
A first machine held with nervous hands.
A first brow.
A first client.
A first moment of wondering, “Am I really capable of doing this?”

And somewhere between the practice, the mistakes, the long hours, the breakthroughs, and the growing confidence… artists began to emerge. ✨

This year, we have the honor of recognizing our 2026 Silver & Gold Gala Student Nominees in four very special categories:

🏆 PMU Artist of the Year — honoring exceptional artistry, skill, and dedication to the craft.
📸 Content Creator — celebrating the student who has learned that creating beautiful work is only part of the journey… having the courage to show it to the world matters too.
🤎 Client Whisperer — honoring the artist with that special ability to make a client feel seen, heard, beautiful, and safe in her hands.
✨ Glow Up Award — celebrating transformation, growth, perseverance, and the beautiful difference between where she started and the woman and artist she is becoming.

Each winner has been personally selected by our judges, but on August 28th, we celebrate every woman whose name was worthy of being placed among the nominees.

Because sometimes the greatest award isn’t the one you hold in your hands…it’s looking back at the woman who walked through our doors and realizing you are no longer her. 🥹✨

To all of our beautiful nominees: good luck, ladies. 🖤
No matter whose name is called, we hope you take a moment to look around that room and realize YOU did this. You grew. You showed up. And we are incredibly proud of you.

See you under the silver & gold lights. 🪩⭐️✨

✨ LEADERSHIP LEAVES A LEGACY ✨

Leadership isn’t only measured by the success of a business, it’s measured by the impact you make, the people you serve, and the community you help strengthen.

Today, we’re proud to recognize the incredible runners-up for the Leadership Legacy Award at the Silver & Gold Gala. 🪩⭐️

🏆 Meek Chiropractic
🏆 Breathe Health Spa
🏆 Stacy Calhoun – Attorney at Law
🏆 Dancing Mule
🏆 Acacia Spa

Each of these businesses and professionals represents something special within our community. Through leadership, service, entrepreneurship, and dedication to those around them, they continue to make an impact that deserves to be recognized.

While only one name can take home the award, legacy isn’t defined by a trophy. It’s defined by the lives and communities we influence along the way. ✨

Please help us congratulate each of our Leadership Legacy Award runners-up! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

We look forward to celebrating them at the 2nd Annual Silver & Gold Gala on August 28th. 🖤🪩⭐️

🎉 GRADUATION
UBSA’s Permanent Cosmetics program is designed to be completed in approximately 6 months. But we also understand who our students are. They’re working adults. They’re moms and dads. They’re spouses. They’re building careers while managing households, jobs and families.

That’s why our program is built to give you the education and hands-on experience you need while still recognizing that life doesn’t stop because you decided to go back to school.

If you’ve been saying, “Maybe one day…”
Maybe back-to-school season is your sign that it’s your turn. 🖤✨
