About This School
Phipps Academy of Barbering is a private for-profit institution located in Richton Park, Illinois with approximately 26 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $11,785 per year.
Worth considering if you want a focused, trade-specific program with manageable debt — graduates leave with a median $6,556 in loans, which is genuinely low compared to most schools. The tiny enrollment of 26 students suggests a hands-on, individualized experience, which can be a real advantage in a skills-based field like barbering. Just go in with eyes open: as a for-profit institution, make sure to ask hard questions about job placement rates and licensing exam pass rates before committing, since those numbers matter far more here than a school's reputation.
