About This School

CRU Institute of Cosmetology and Barbering is a private for-profit institution located in Garden Grove, California with approximately 129 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $18,165 per year. Typical graduates earn $20,400 within 10 years of enrollment.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: graduates earn a median of just $20,400 ten years out, which is a modest return for any post-secondary investment, though the relatively low median debt of $9,551 at graduation does soften that concern somewhat. Worth considering if you're set on cosmetology or barbering in the Garden Grove area and plan to build clientele quickly, since keeping debt manageable matters most in a field where income is heavily tips- and hours-dependent. Go in with clear eyes about the earning ceiling, and have a concrete plan for building your client base before you enroll.
