About This School
The Salon Professional Academy-Battle Creek is a private for-profit institution located in Battle Creek, Michigan with approximately 49 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $21,073 per year. Typical graduates earn $21,504 within 10 years of enrollment.
Students who are highly motivated to work in cosmetology or a related beauty field and want a small, hands-on training environment may find this school worth considering — but the financial picture deserves a hard look before committing. The median earnings 10 years after enrollment sit at just $21,504, which is nearly identical to the average net price of $21,073 per year, meaning graduates are essentially paying a full year's tuition only to earn that same amount annually a decade later. The one genuinely encouraging number is the median debt at graduation of $6,333, which is relatively low for a vocational program and suggests students aren't taking on crushing loans. That said, the earnings-to-cost ratio is tight enough that I'd strongly encourage any family to compare this program against local community college cosmetology programs, which often cost significantly less and lead to similar outcomes. If this school is the right fit personally and geographically, keep borrowing minimal, have a clear plan for building clientele quickly after graduation, and go in with realistic expectations about starting wages in this field.
