About This School
Bell Mar Beauty College is a private for-profit institution located in Cicero, Illinois with approximately 45 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $7,188 per year. Typical graduates earn $21,500 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at $7,188 per year after aid, the cost is relatively low for a vocational program, but median earnings of just $21,500 a decade after enrollment suggest graduates often struggle to build financial momentum in this field. The tiny enrollment of 45 students means a very hands-on, personalized experience, which can be a real advantage in skills-based beauty training. Worth considering only if you have a clear plan for the specific career path you want and have researched local job market demand carefully — the earnings data suggests this credential alone may not open many high-paying doors.
