About This School

Summit Salon Academy-Lexington is a private for-profit institution located in Lexington, Kentucky with approximately 154 undergraduate students enrolled.

Worth considering if you're set on a cosmetology career and want to keep debt manageable — graduates leave with a median debt of just $6,333, which is well below what you'd see at many for-profit programs. The small enrollment of 123 students suggests a hands-on, focused environment rather than a factory-style training program. That said, at $13,809 per year in net costs, you'll want to research local salon salaries carefully before enrolling, since cosmetology wages in Kentucky can make even modest debt a real burden to repay.
