About This School
Estes Institute of Cosmetology Arts and Science is a private for-profit institution located in Visalia, California with approximately 41 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $12,990 per year. Typical graduates earn $20,400 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: with median earnings of just $20,400 ten years out, graduates are earning well below a living wage in most of California, which raises real questions about long-term financial sustainability. On the upside, median debt at graduation is a relatively modest $7,000, and the tiny class size of 41 students means personalized attention you won't find at larger programs. Worth considering if you're committed to cosmetology in the Visalia area and plan to build a client base quickly, but go in with clear eyes about the earning ceiling this career path typically carries.
