About This School

Opelousas School of Cosmetology is a private for-profit institution located in Opelousas, Louisiana with approximately 37 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $13,081 per year. The graduation rate is 18%, and the typical graduate earns $26,459 within 10 years of enrollment.

Worth considering if you want a small, hands-on cosmetology program — with only 10 students enrolled, you'll likely get close attention from instructors. The median debt at graduation is a reasonable $6,500, which is manageable for this field, but the $16,904 annual net price is steep for a vocational certificate, so make sure financial aid is locked in before enrolling. Compare total program cost against local salon salaries carefully, since cosmetology wages in Louisiana tend to be modest.
