About This School
Wade Gordon Hairdressing Academy is a private for-profit institution located in Amarillo, Texas with approximately 134 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $25,694 per year.
Worth considering if you're set on a cosmetology career in the Amarillo area — the median debt at graduation is a relatively manageable $7,710, which is a genuine positive in a field where overborrowing is common. That said, the average net price of $25,694 per year is steep for a vocational certificate program, so make sure any aid offer you receive actually brings your out-of-pocket costs close to that debt figure before committing. Ask the school directly for its graduation rate and graduate employment data — those numbers matter more here than at a traditional college.
