About This School
Larry's Barber College-Joliet is a private for-profit institution located in Joliet, Illinois with approximately 27 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $14,685 per year.
This school is a strong fit for students who are laser-focused on becoming a licensed barber and want to minimize financial risk while doing it — the median debt at graduation is just $3,945, which is remarkably low for any vocational program. With only 27 students enrolled, you're looking at an intimate, hands-on training environment where instructors can actually get to know you, which matters a lot in a skills-based program like this. The net price of $14,685 per year is reasonable for cosmetology and barbering credentials in Illinois, especially compared to larger private beauty schools that can run significantly higher. That said, the very small enrollment means limited data on graduation rates and post-graduation earnings, so I'd strongly encourage you to ask the school directly what percentage of students complete the program and pass their state licensing exam on the first attempt — those two numbers tell you everything you need to know. If they can show you strong licensing pass rates, this is a practical, low-debt path into a trade with real local demand; if they hedge on those answers, that's your signal to look elsewhere.
