About This School
Raphael's School of Beauty Culture Inc-Niles is a private for-profit institution located in Niles, Ohio with approximately 172 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $21,059 per year. Typical graduates earn $19,200 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the median debt at graduation is a manageable $6,251, but graduates earn a median of just $19,200 ten years out — barely above the annual cost of attendance of $19,489, which makes financial recovery slow. This small, trade-focused school in Niles may work for someone committed to a local cosmetology career with minimal borrowing, but prospective students should honestly weigh whether the long-term earning potential justifies even a modest investment of time and money. If you're driven by passion for the beauty industry and want to stay in the region, it's worth a closer look — just go in with clear eyes about the income ceiling.
