About This School
Lyle's College of Beauty is a private for-profit institution located in Bakersfield, California with approximately 70 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $23,572 per year. Typical graduates earn $20,000 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: median earnings of just $20,000 a decade after enrollment are quite low, even for the cosmetology field, which raises real questions about long-term financial payoff. On the plus side, median debt at graduation is a manageable $6,333, so you won't be buried in loans. Worth considering only if you're committed to the beauty industry and have a clear local job market in mind — but go in with realistic income expectations.
