About This School
Paul Mitchell the School-Tampa is a private for-profit institution located in Tampa, Florida with approximately 106 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $25,105 per year. The graduation rate is 68%, and the typical graduate earns $27,600 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 of $13,000 at graduation is a real bright spot, meaning most students can finish without being buried in loans, which matters a lot in a field where starting salaries tend to be modest. That said, the numbers deserve a honest look: median earnings of $27,600 a decade after enrollment are tight, especially against a net price of $25,105 per year, so families should go in clear-eyed about the financial ceiling in this profession. The 68% graduation rate is also worth asking about directly — find out what's driving the roughly 1 in 3 students who don't finish, whether it's financial, personal, or something about the program itself. My practical advice: visit in person, talk to recent graduates working in Tampa salons, and make sure your student has a concrete plan for building clientele quickly after licensure, because income in this field grows through hustle and reputation, not just credentials.
