About This School
Summit Salon Academy Kansas City is a private for-profit institution located in Independence, Missouri with approximately 157 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $20,947 per year. Typical graduates earn $21,800 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: graduates earn a median of $21,800 a year a decade out, which is modest but roughly in line with what the cosmetology field typically pays, and the median debt of $9,500 at graduation is relatively manageable compared to many for-profit schools. The concern is that after aid, you're still paying nearly $20,000 per year for a program where income growth has a real ceiling, so you'll want to be confident this career path is the right fit before committing. Worth considering if you're serious about the salon industry and can minimize borrowing, but run the numbers carefully against your expected local wages before signing anything.
