Advance Beauty College - For two generations, Advance Beauty College, one of the largest cosmetology schools in the state of California has gone on to graduate over 50,000 students solidifying their dominance in the nails industry and becoming the leading nails programs in the country. The curriculum also encompasses cosmetology, barbering, esthetics and teacher training. A pioneer in the industry, Advance Beauty College has been featured on Fox News, CNN, BBC America, and countless local and international publications. In addition to this national attention, Advance Beauty College has been the recipient of a myriad of awards honoring their leadership, innovation, and commitment to giving back to the community. Tam Nguyen, Advance Beauty College Chairman, was a former Board Member of the American Association of Cosmetology Schools and is a Lecturer and Chairman of The Board at Cal State Fullerton’s Philanthropic Foundation.
Tam Nguyen, Chairman of Advance Beauty College stated, “For two generations and over 35 years, we have prioritized the health and safety of our students, faculty, and staff. We are committed in doing what we can to protect those in our schools and the beauty salon industry. As a former board member of the American Association of Cosmetology Schools and current leader of a large cosmetology school, I can attest to the criticality of implementing solutions that maintain a healthy environment and enable our teaching facilities to remain open. We are proud to be using Applied UV’s ‘best in class’ Airocide air purification technology which was originally developed for use by NASA.”
John F. Andrews, Applied UV’s CEO and Director stated, “Our national school footprint continues with the addition of Advance Beauty College. Due to Advance Beauty College’s national recognition, we believe their endorsement will help us expand our reach into the approximately 950,000 hair and nail salons in the cosmetology sector. We continue to aggressively pursue leaders in key business verticals and are proud to now include cosmetology schools and businesses to our every growing list of end user business cases. Like other consumer-oriented businesses, the cosmetology industry also faced untold economic hardships with many forced to close their doors due to the pandemic. Having Advance Beauty College incorporate the use of our Airocide™ air purification into both of their campuses in California is further testament to the product’s proven effectiveness but also to the growing use of our air purification solutions to protect facilities, employees, and consumers from harmful airborne related pathogens. We look forward to a long and successful relationship with Tam and his entire organization.”

SteriLumen’s connected platform for Data Driven Disinfection™ applies the power of ultraviolet light (UVC) to destroy pathogens safely, thoroughly, and automatically, addressing the challenge of healthcare-acquired infections (“HAIs”). Targeted for use in facilities that have high customer turnover such as hospitals, hotels, commercial facilities, and other public spaces, the Company’s Lumicide™ platform uses UVC LEDs in several patented designs for infection control in and around high-traffic areas, including sinks and restrooms, killing bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens residing on hard surfaces within devices’ proximity.
