The Beauty Institute
A good fit for students who want small classes and close faculty access and students from lower-income families. for-profit institutions have higher scrutiny — research carefully. 81% of students receive Pell Grants — strong access mission.
About This School
The Beauty Institute is a private for-profit institution located in Whitehall, Pennsylvania with approximately 61 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $15,131 per year. Typical graduates earn $24,300 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: graduates earn a median of $24,300 ten years out, which is a modest return for a career in beauty, though the relatively low debt load of $7,968 at graduation softens that concern. With only 61 students, you'd get an intimate, hands-on training environment — but this is a narrowly focused school, so make sure a career in cosmetology or aesthetics is genuinely where you want to go before committing. Worth considering if you want to enter the field quickly and affordably, but don't expect this credential to open doors beyond the beauty industry.
