About

Untangling Your Educational Potential untangles systemic barriers that prevent underserved Chicagoans from entering, advancing, and thriving in the beauty industry. We provide wraparound support for aspiring professionals, then technical assistance and resources for licensed practitioners launching their own businesses. From education to entrepreneurship, we work to ensure that regulatory complexity and business knowledge gaps never stop a promising career.

We focus on three practical areas that often slow people down. Licensing steps and requirements, regulatory and compliance expectations, and business fundamentals for sustainable work.

We serve people across Illinois, with a focus on Chicago and the Chicagoland metro area.
