About This School

A Better U Beauty Barber Academy is a private for-profit institution located in Albuquerque, New Mexico with approximately 46 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $20,249 per year.

Worth considering if you're set on a barbering or cosmetology career in Albuquerque — the median debt at graduation is a relatively manageable $7,834, which is a real plus compared to many trade programs. However, the net price of $18,460 per year is steep for a small, 52-student school, so make sure you're maximizing any available aid before enrolling. Ask the school directly about job placement rates and starting salaries in the local market, since those numbers will determine whether the cost actually pays off.
