About This School
Salon Success Academy-Fontana is a private for-profit institution located in Fontana, California with approximately 29 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $15,437 per year. The graduation rate is 91%, and the typical graduate earns $22,412 within 10 years of enrollment.
This school is a strong fit for students who are focused, career-minded, and ready to get into the cosmetology field quickly without taking on significant debt — the median debt at graduation is just $7,177, which is genuinely low for a vocational program. The 91% graduation rate is impressive and suggests that students who enroll tend to follow through, which often reflects good student support and a focused learning environment. That said, the earnings picture deserves an honest look: the median income 10 years after enrollment is $22,412, which is modest and means you'll want to think carefully about your long-term financial goals and whether you plan to eventually open your own business or build a clientele that can push your income higher. At $15,437 per year in net costs, the program isn't cheap relative to those earnings, so families should make sure financial aid is maximized and have a clear plan for how this credential translates into sustainable income. Before enrolling, I'd encourage any prospective student to talk to graduates working in the Inland Empire market specifically and ask directly what their first year of income looked like — that real-world check will tell you more than any brochure.
