About This School
American Beauty Academy-West Valley Campus is a private for-profit institution located in West Valley City, Utah with approximately 18 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $13,882 per year. The graduation rate is 52%, and the typical graduate earns $20,236 within 10 years of enrollment.
This school is best suited for students who are laser-focused on entering the beauty industry quickly and want a small, hands-on training environment rather than a traditional college experience. The relatively low median debt at graduation — $10,060 — is a genuine bright spot, meaning students who complete the program aren't buried in loans when they start their careers. That said, two numbers should give any family pause: the 52% graduation rate means roughly half of students who enroll don't finish, and median earnings of just $20,236 ten years out suggest this credential has real limits on long-term earning potential in this field. Before enrolling, I'd strongly encourage your student to talk to working graduates about actual job placement and income in the Salt Lake City market, since local demand can vary significantly from national averages. If your student is disciplined, has a clear plan to finish, and understands they may need to build additional skills or clientele over time to grow their income, this could be a reasonable low-debt entry point — but go in with eyes open.
