About This School
Coastline Beauty College is a private for-profit institution located in Fountain Valley, California with approximately 203 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $22,007 per year. The graduation rate is 86%, and the typical graduate earns $11,585 within 10 years of enrollment.
For a student who is passionate about a career in cosmetology or esthetics and wants a focused, hands-on training environment, this small school has some real strengths — an 86% graduation rate is genuinely impressive and tells you that students who start here tend to finish. That said, the financial picture is where I'd pump the brakes: at $22,007 per year in net costs, you're paying a significant amount for a credential that leads to median earnings of just $11,585 ten years after enrollment, which is well below what most people need to cover basic living expenses, let alone repay debt. That earnings figure is the single biggest concern here, and any family considering this school should have an honest conversation about how the student plans to build income over time — whether through building a client base, opening their own business, or supplementing with additional training. I'd strongly encourage exploring federal student loan limits carefully and avoiding private loans entirely given this earnings outlook. If your student has a clear vision and a concrete plan beyond just getting licensed, this school could be a reasonable fit — but go in with eyes open on the financial side.
