Academy of Hair Design-Jackson
A good fit for students who want small classes and close faculty access and students from lower-income families. for-profit institutions have higher scrutiny — research carefully. 90% of students receive Pell Grants — strong access mission.
About This School
Academy of Hair Design-Jackson is a private for-profit institution located in Jackson, Mississippi with approximately 77 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $20,068 per year. Typical graduates earn $18,900 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: graduates earn a median of $18,900 ten years out, which is modest but roughly in line with the $6,500 median debt load — at least borrowing appears relatively contained. The bigger concern is the $20,068 annual net price, which feels steep for a 77-student cosmetology program when post-graduation earnings leave little financial cushion. Worth considering only if you've confirmed strong job placement rates in your local Jackson market and have a clear plan to minimize out-of-pocket costs.
