About This School

The Salon Professional Academy-Appleton is a private for-profit institution located in Appleton, Wisconsin with approximately 81 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $19,436 per year. The graduation rate is 84%, and the typical graduate earns $32,317 within 10 years of enrollment.

Worth considering if you're set on a cosmetology career and want to keep debt manageable — graduates leave with a median debt of just $8,750, which is notably low for a vocational program. The small enrollment of 85 students suggests a tight-knit, hands-on learning environment, and the $10,859 average net price is reasonable for a specialized trade school. Just go in clear-eyed: like most salon academies, career earnings in this field tend to be modest, so even low debt matters — make sure you've researched local stylist salaries in the Appleton area before committing.
