About This School
Academy of Hair Design-Pearl is a private for-profit institution located in Pearl, Mississippi with approximately 48 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $20,326 per year. Typical graduates earn $22,400 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: graduates earn a median of $22,400 a year a decade out, which is modest but roughly in line with what entry-level cosmetology careers typically pay in this region. The $6,500 median debt at graduation is genuinely low compared to most schools, which is a real advantage — but the $20,326 annual net price means you'll want to confirm exactly how much aid you're actually receiving before signing anything. Worth considering if you're set on a cosmetology career and can secure enough grant aid to keep your out-of-pocket costs manageable, but go in with clear eyes about the earning ceiling in this field.
