About This School
Paul Mitchell the School-Clear Lake is a private for-profit institution located in Webster, Texas with approximately 133 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $20,472 per year. The graduation rate is 83%, and the typical graduate earns $19,600 within 10 years of enrollment.
Students drawn to cosmetology and the beauty industry who want a focused, hands-on training environment will feel most at home here — this is a vocational school, not a traditional college, and that distinction matters. The 83% graduation rate is genuinely strong for this type of program, and the median debt at graduation of $11,336 is relatively manageable compared to many for-profit schools. That said, the earnings picture is the most important thing I want you to sit with: graduates are earning a median of $19,600 ten years after enrollment, which is a tight budget in the Houston area, and with a net price of $20,472 per year, you'll want to think carefully about how long it takes to break even financially. This school makes the most sense if you're treating it as a licensing pathway rather than a career that will support a family on its own, or if you're planning to combine it with entrepreneurship or a second income. Before applying, I'd strongly encourage a candid conversation with a current student or recent graduate about what their first two years in the workforce actually looked like.
