About This School
South Hills Beauty Academy is a private for-profit institution located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with approximately 183 undergraduate students enrolled. The graduation rate is 92%, and the typical graduate earns $25,300 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mostly encouraging story here: graduates carry very low debt (just $3,431 at graduation), and at roughly $5,948 per year in net costs, this is an affordable path into the beauty industry. The main concern worth weighing honestly is that median earnings sit at $25,300 a decade out, which is modest — so this is worth considering if you're passionate about a cosmetology career and want to keep financial risk low, but go in clear-eyed that the income ceiling in this field is real.
