About This School
American Hair Academy is a private for-profit institution located in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa with approximately 27 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $11,892 per year.
Worth considering if you're set on a cosmetology career and want to keep debt manageable — graduates leave with a median debt of just $9,858, which is relatively low for a vocational program. The tiny enrollment of 27 students likely means personalized, hands-on instruction, which can be a real advantage in a skills-based trade. That said, with so few students and limited publicly available outcome data, it's hard to gauge job placement or earning potential, so ask the school directly for graduate employment rates before committing.
