About This School
Hawaii Institute of Hair Design is a private for-profit institution located in Honolulu, Hawaii with approximately 70 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $13,238 per year. Typical graduates earn $25,900 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: graduates earn a median of $25,900 a year a decade out, which is a modest income but not surprising for the cosmetology field, and the low median debt of $5,500 at graduation means you won't be buried in loans. Worth considering if you want hands-on trade training in Honolulu at a relatively low financial risk, but go in clear-eyed that the earning ceiling in this profession is limited, and you should ask the school directly about its graduation and job placement rates before committing.
