Cosmetology at Aveda Arts & Sciences Institute-Covington

This Aveda Arts & Sciences Institute program delivers solid results that outperform both national and state averages for cosmetology training. With first-year earnings of $18,605 compared to the national median of $17,113 and Louisiana's median of $15,617, graduates earn about $3,000 more annually than typical in-state cosmetology programs. The program ranks in the 60th percentile among Louisiana cosmetology schools, placing it in the upper half of options in a state with 43 competing programs.

The financial picture is particularly attractive with relatively modest debt of $9,833—significantly lower than Louisiana's median debt of $12,886 for similar programs. This creates a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.53, meaning students can reasonably expect to pay off their investment. The 28% earnings growth from year one to year four (reaching $23,872) shows meaningful career progression potential in the field.

With over 100 graduates tracked, these numbers are statistically reliable. For parents considering cosmetology training in Louisiana, this program offers above-average earning potential with below-average debt burden, making it a financially sound choice compared to most alternatives in the state.
