NEW FEDERAL & STATE CHANGES FOR BEAUTY SCHOOLS IN 2026
There are very big changes to beauty schools in Virginia for 2026. This will affect a lot of beauty schools across the United States choosing to stay open going into 2027 from loss of financial aid provider eligibility and/or revokation of school licensure for non-compliance during random DPOR inspections at any time. Nail Schools are different for 2026 because of these new updates.
-
In 2026, DPOR required beauty schools to report that they will teach specific DPOR approved theory & practical study for re-approval to be licensed to teach beauty courses in 2026. Additional Nail Technician training must be pre-approved by DPOR with added hours to the 150 hour minimum course.
-
DPOR now has strict random inspection verifiable attendance hours that must be completed inside a 2026 DPOR re-approved school (under the supervision of a licensed instructor) to complete specific service training requirements in a reported timeline.
-
A new 2025 Federal Law has now made 2026 changes to federal policies for beauty school education across the US.
-
Virginia's 150 hours for Nail Education programs will have federal and state specific length and completion times in late 2026
-
A reinstated mandate from the US Department of Education is reviewing beauty school's records for reporting graduate employment outcomes with debt-to-income to avoid loss of federal approved eligibility
