Worth considering if you want hands-on cosmetology training at a genuinely low cost — the average net price of just $4,464 per year is one of the more affordable options you'll find for this field. That said, the extremely small enrollment of 41 students raises questions about the school's financial stability and the breadth of resources available to you. Before committing, ask specifically about job placement rates and graduate earnings, since small for-profit trade schools vary widely on whether that low price tag actually pays off.
