About This School
Paul Mitchell the School-Arlington is a private for-profit institution located in Arlington, Texas with approximately 360 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $24,060 per year. The graduation rate is 70%, and the typical graduate earns $32,800 within 10 years of enrollment.
Students who are genuinely passionate about a career in cosmetology and want a focused, vocational path — rather than a traditional college experience — are the best fit here. The relatively low median debt at graduation ($8,505) is a real standout, especially compared to many for-profit beauty schools that leave students buried in loans, and a 70% graduation rate is respectable for this type of program. That said, the median earnings of $32,800 ten years after enrollment is a number families need to sit with honestly — it's a modest income, and at $24,060 per year in net costs, you'll want to make sure financial aid and any scholarships are maximized before committing. This school makes the most sense if your student already has a clear vision of working in the beauty industry in the DFW area and has done some research into local salon markets and earning potential. My practical advice: before enrolling, have your student shadow a working cosmetologist for a week and ask their instructor about job placement support — those two steps will tell you more than any brochure.
