About This School

California Hair Design Academy is a private for-profit institution located in La Mesa, California with approximately 98 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $23,607 per year. Typical graduates earn $23,700 within 10 years of enrollment.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: graduates earn a median of $23,700 ten years out, which is a modest income that leaves little room for financial error — though the relatively low median debt of $6,333 at graduation does ease that concern somewhat. Worth considering if you're committed to a cosmetology career and want to keep borrowing minimal, but go in with clear eyes about the earning ceiling in this field and ask the school directly about job placement rates before enrolling.
