About This School
West Michigan College of Barbering and Beauty is a private for-profit institution located in Kalamazoo, Michigan with approximately 80 undergraduate students enrolled. Typical graduates earn $15,200 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: with a median net price of $8,314 per year and relatively low debt at graduation ($9,500), the upfront cost is manageable for a vocational program. However, the median earnings of $15,200 a decade after enrollment is a serious concern — that's below the poverty line for most households, and means graduates may struggle to repay loans or build financial stability even with modest debt. Worth considering only if you have a clear, local client base or business plan in mind, since the income ceiling in this field depends heavily on self-employment and hustle beyond the credential itself.
