About This School

Orlo School of Hair Design and Cosmetology is a private for-profit institution located in Albany, New York with approximately 56 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $16,747 per year. Typical graduates earn $25,500 within 10 years of enrollment.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: median earnings of $25,500 a decade out are modest, though the relatively low median debt of $5,500 at graduation means graduates aren't buried under loans while building their client base. Worth considering if you want a small, focused environment — just 60 students — and can keep your total costs in check, since the $16,864 average annual net price adds up quickly in a field where income growth can be slow. Go in with clear eyes about the earning ceiling in cosmetology and a plan to build your clientele aggressively from day one.
