About This School
American Beauty Academy is a private for-profit institution located in Payson, Utah with approximately 11 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $11,055 per year.
Worth considering if you're set on a career in cosmetology and want to keep debt manageable — graduates leave with a median debt of just $5,651, which is notably low for a vocational program. The net price of $11,055 per year is reasonable, and the tiny enrollment of 11 students suggests a very hands-on, individualized experience. That said, the school's extremely small size makes it hard to evaluate long-term outcomes, so ask directly about job placement rates and graduate earnings before committing.
