Cosmetology licence
About 125,000 people a year finish a cosmetology programme and borrow to do it. The work it leads to pays less than the typical American job, which means the cost is never recovered from a pay premium — because there isn't one.

The federal programme code, CIP 12.04, covers cosmetology together with related grooming programmes such as nail technology and esthetics, so the range is not cosmetology alone. That range is median cumulative FEDERAL LOAN DEBT at completion, not a tuition sticker price and not total cost. It is what completers actually borrowed, so it excludes grants, savings, family money, employer funding and living costs — which makes it a FLOOR on what the credential costs, never a ceiling. The low and high figures are the 25th and 75th percentiles across the institutions that report a figure for this programme, so a quarter of institutions sit below the low end. College Scorecard pools two award years into each figure; the release used here is dated 10 June 2026.
Every state sets its own training-hour requirement and they range from roughly 1,000 to 2,100 hours — nine months to over a year full time. There is no national figure, and we will not average fifty different rules into one that no state actually uses.
Licences renew every one to two years, with a fee in every state.

There is no national count of licensed cosmetologists. Licensing is run by fifty separate state boards, no federal agency aggregates them, and the one industry body that collects licence records sells them and mixes US and Canadian data. So this page shows no denominator. We looked; it is not there.

Abin da wannan lissafin shirin ya ƙunsa: CIP 12.04 is cosmetology together with barbering, nail technology, esthetics and related grooming programmes. They lead to different state licences and somewhat different pay, and the Department publishes no split. What they have in common is the thing this row shows: they are the largest sub-degree programme in the country by completions, and they have the worst four-year outcome of any programme on this page.
This is the worst outcome of any programme we can publish, on the largest sub-degree cohort in the country. Set it beside the cost above: people are borrowing for it.

The job this unlocks does not pay more than the typical US job once every occupation is weighted by how many people are in it. There is no pay premium, so there is nothing for the cost to be recovered from. That does not make the credential worthless - it may be legally required, or the route into work you would rather do - but it does mean it is not an investment that returns cash.
Abin da kake buƙata kafin ka fara
- A place at a state-approved cosmetology school
- The state training-hour requirement, which varies widely
Kada ka yi wannan idan
- you are borrowing to pay for it — the work it leads to pays below the typical US job, so the debt has no pay premium to come out of
- you cannot stand for most of a working day
- you are counting on salon employment — much of this work is booth rental, which is self-employment with none of the guarantees
