About This School

Paul Mitchell the School-Great Lakes is a private for-profit institution located in Port Huron, Michigan with approximately 75 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $17,263 per year. The graduation rate is 74%, and the typical graduate earns $16,715 within 10 years of enrollment.

This school is best suited for students who are passionate about a cosmetology career, want to keep debt low, and are ready to start working quickly rather than pursue a four-year path. The manageable median debt at graduation of $9,667 is genuinely one of the more responsible numbers you'll see in this sector, and a 74% graduation rate is solid for a vocational program where life circumstances often pull students away. The honest concern here is the earnings picture — a median income of $16,715 ten years after enrollment is quite low, and families should think carefully about whether that income realistically supports student loan repayment, rent, and basic living costs in today's economy. This isn't a reason to automatically walk away, but it does mean your student needs a clear plan: build a clientele, consider owning a chair or a booth, or use licensure as a stepping stone toward salon management or ownership. Before enrolling, ask the school directly what percentage of graduates are working in the field within one year — that number will tell you more about real outcomes than any brochure will.
