How much do beauty schools cost? It really depends on the school and location of the school. Schools inside or close to major metropolitan cities like New York or Boston will likely cost around $10,000 for full cosmetology programs. The same program in a rural setting could be a low as $6,500.00. If you're only looking to complete a program to become a certified Esthetician or Nail Technician, this will cost much less, anywhere from $3,000.00-$5,000.00 depending on the program and location of the school.
Do beauty schools offer financial aid? Most accredited schools offer financial aid. There are even some non-accredited schools that offer grants and scholarships to qualified students.
