About This School
Arnolds Beauty School is a private for-profit institution located in Milan, Tennessee with approximately 63 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $10,343 per year. Typical graduates earn $17,400 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: graduates earn a median of just $17,400 ten years out, which is a modest return even with relatively low debt of $7,667 at graduation. The small enrollment of 63 students means a more personalized, hands-on learning environment, which can be a real advantage in a skills-based trade program. Worth considering if you're committed to a career in cosmetology and want to minimize debt, but go in clear-eyed that earnings in this field stay modest, so budgeting carefully after graduation will matter.
