About This School
Iowa School of Beauty-Des Moines is a private for-profit institution located in Des Moines, Iowa with approximately 74 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $10,298 per year. Typical graduates earn $23,800 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the median debt at graduation is a manageable $6,333, which is genuinely low compared to most programs, but graduates tend to earn around $23,800 a decade out — a modest income that leaves little financial cushion. Worth considering if you're committed to a cosmetology career and want to minimize borrowing, but go in clear-eyed that this field typically offers limited earning growth, so building a strong client base quickly will matter more than the diploma itself.
