About This School

Design's School of Cosmetology is a private for-profit institution located in Paso Robles, California with approximately 93 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $17,968 per year. Typical graduates earn $22,800 within 10 years of enrollment.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: graduates earn a median of $22,800 ten years out, which is a modest income — but the relatively low median debt of $6,333 at graduation means you won't be buried in loans chasing that paycheck. Worth considering if you want a small, focused program (just 93 students) and plan to build a clientele locally in Central California, but go in clear-eyed that cosmetology wages in this region are unlikely to climb dramatically, so keeping your costs low during school is essential.
