About This School
David Pressley School of Cosmetology is a private for-profit institution located in Royal Oak, Michigan with approximately 263 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $18,565 per year. Typical graduates earn $21,400 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: graduates earn a median of $21,400 a year a decade out, which is modest but roughly in line with what cosmetology careers typically pay in this region, and the relatively low median debt of $6,160 at graduation means you won't be buried under loans. Worth considering if you're committed to working in the beauty industry and want a focused, trade-specific program — but go in clear-eyed that the net price of $18,565/year is steep for an income at this level, so exhaust every grant and scholarship option before borrowing.
