About This School
The Salon Professional Academy-Cedar Falls is a private for-profit institution located in Cedar Falls, Iowa with approximately 101 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $13,595 per year. Typical graduates earn $20,100 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: graduates earn a median of $20,100 ten years out, which is modest but roughly in line with what cosmetology careers typically pay in this region, and the $12,000 median debt at graduation is relatively manageable compared to many for-profit schools. Worth considering if you're committed to a career in the beauty industry and want a small, focused program — 101 students means personalized attention. That said, at $13,595 per year in net costs, you'll want to make sure you're maximizing financial aid and have a clear plan, since the earnings ceiling in this field is real and won't leave much room for financial stress.
