About This School
Paul Mitchell the School-Birmingham is a private for-profit institution located in Hoover, Alabama with approximately 129 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $18,104 per year.
Worth considering if you're serious about cosmetology and want to keep debt manageable — the median graduate leaves with just $9,833 in debt, which is relatively low for a vocational program. The small enrollment of 128 students likely means more hands-on attention from instructors. That said, at $13,735 per year in net costs, you'll want to research typical starting salaries for Alabama cosmetologists carefully, since earnings in this field can be modest and will directly determine how quickly you pay off even that modest debt.
