About This School
Faust Institute of Cosmetology-Spirit Lake is a private for-profit institution located in Spirit Lake, Iowa with approximately 16 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $5,498 per year. Typical graduates earn $19,200 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the net price is genuinely affordable at $5,498/year, and graduates carry modest debt of $6,375, which is a real plus for a vocational program. However, median earnings of $19,200 a decade out are quite low, meaning you'll want to think carefully about your long-term financial picture before enrolling. Worth considering if you're set on cosmetology in a small, hands-on setting and plan to build income through tips, clientele, or eventually owning a salon — but go in with eyes open about earning potential.
