About This School

Paul Mitchell the School-Phoenix is a private for-profit institution located in Phoenix, Arizona with approximately 137 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $20,861 per year. The graduation rate is 55%, and the typical graduate earns $29,340 within 10 years of enrollment.

Worth considering if you're set on a cosmetology career and want a smaller, hands-on environment — with just 102 students, you'll likely get more individualized attention than at a larger program. The median graduation debt of $11,200 is relatively manageable for a vocational credential, though the $18,308 annual net price means you should carefully map out expected stylist earnings in the Phoenix market before committing. Make sure to ask the school directly about job placement rates and starting salaries, since cosmetology wages can be modest and the return on investment depends heavily on where you land after graduation.
