Oehrlein School of Cosmetology
A good fit for families who need the lowest possible cost and students who want small classes and close faculty access. for-profit institutions have higher scrutiny — research carefully. 55% of students receive Pell Grants — strong access mission.
About This School
Oehrlein School of Cosmetology is a private for-profit institution located in East Peoria, Illinois with approximately 67 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $9,229 per year. Typical graduates earn $21,200 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: median earnings of $21,200 a decade after enrollment are modest, and while the $9,833 median debt at graduation is relatively low, that income ceiling means repayment and financial progress will be slow. This small, focused school in East Peoria may suit students who are passionate about cosmetology and plan to build a local client base or eventually own a salon, but it's worth going in with realistic salary expectations — this career path is about craft and entrepreneurship, not high earnings.
