About This School
Edge Academy of Beauty is a private for-profit institution located in Manchester, Kentucky with approximately 56 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $14,094 per year.
Worth considering if you're set on a career in beauty and want a small, hands-on training environment — with only 37 students, you'll likely get close instructor attention that larger cosmetology schools can't offer. However, at $14,491 per year in net costs, you should carefully research typical local salaries for cosmetologists in the Manchester, KY area before committing, since beauty careers often start at modest wages and that price tag can take years to pay off. Ask the school directly for its graduation rate and job placement numbers before enrolling — those figures matter more here than the school's size or location.
