About This School
Kenneth Shuler School of Cosmetology-Spartanburg is a private for-profit institution located in Spartanburg, South Carolina with approximately 113 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $13,919 per year. The graduation rate is 72%, and the typical graduate earns $20,300 within 10 years of enrollment.
Students who are passionate about cosmetology and want a focused, affordable path into the beauty industry will find this small Spartanburg program worth a serious look — with just 113 students, you're getting a genuinely hands-on, community-style training environment rather than a large, impersonal school. The median debt at graduation is a notably low $5,858, which is one of the better numbers you'll see in cosmetology education and means most graduates aren't starting their careers buried in loans. That said, the median earnings 10 years after enrollment sit at $20,300, which is modest, and families should go in clear-eyed that cosmetology careers often require building a clientele over time to meaningfully increase income — this credential opens the door, but long-term earning will depend heavily on hustle, location, and entrepreneurial drive. The 72% graduation rate is decent for a vocational program but still means roughly one in four students doesn't finish, so before enrolling, have an honest conversation about what support systems are in place if life gets complicated. My practical advice: visit the clinic floor, talk to current students about job placement support, and research salon employment rates specifically in the Spartanburg area to make sure the local market can absorb new graduates at a pay rate that works for your family's financial situation.
