About This School
Strand Institute of Beauty & Esthetics is a private for-profit institution located in Portland, Texas with approximately 71 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $27,218 per year.
The numbers tell a reasonably encouraging story here — median debt at graduation sits at just $7,859, which is notably low for a vocational program and suggests students aren't being buried in loans to complete their training. That said, the average net price of $27,218 per year is steep for a 71-student beauty school in Portland, TX, so it's worth pressing the admissions office hard on exactly what aid you'd actually receive before committing. Worth considering if you want hands-on cosmetology or esthetics training in a small, focused environment — but compare that net price carefully against community college cosmetology programs in the area first.
