About This School

Elite Cosmetology School is a private for-profit institution located in PALM DESERT, California with approximately 115 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $19,655 per year.

Worth considering if you're set on cosmetology training in the Coachella Valley — the median debt at graduation is a manageable $6,333, which is well below what you'd see at many for-profit schools. However, the net price of $17,818 per year is still significant for a vocational program, so make sure to verify what job placement looks like locally before committing. With only 123 students, you'll likely get a hands-on, small-cohort experience, but do your homework on licensure exam pass rates, which this school should be able to provide directly.
