About This School

Nuvo College of Cosmetology is a private for-profit institution located in Norton Shores, Michigan with approximately 96 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $19,413 per year. The graduation rate is 34%, and the typical graduate earns $18,159 within 10 years of enrollment.

Students drawn to cosmetology careers and looking for a smaller, hands-on training environment in western Michigan may find this school worth a look — but the numbers here deserve serious attention before you commit. The graduation rate sits at just 34%, meaning nearly two out of three students who start don't finish, which is a significant red flag worth asking the school about directly. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is relatively low at $5,500, which is far better than many for-profit programs, but that's partly offset by median earnings of only $18,159 ten years after enrollment — a figure that makes a $19,413 annual net price feel steep relative to the return. Before applying, I'd strongly encourage visiting in person, talking to recent graduates about their job placement experiences, and comparing this program against community college cosmetology programs in Michigan, which often offer similar training at lower overall cost with stronger completion support.
