Cosmetology at Ogle School Hair Skin Nails-Hurst

Ogle School Hair Skin Nails-Hurst delivers solid, middle-tier results in the cosmetology field, with graduates earning $18,916 in their first year—about $2,500 more than the Texas median for cosmetology programs and $1,800 above the national average. Among Texas cosmetology schools, this program ranks in the 60th percentile, placing it firmly in the upper half but well below the state's top performers who achieve earnings in the mid-$20,000s.

The financial picture is reasonable for a trade program serving primarily lower-income students (68% receive Pell grants). With $9,560 in median debt, graduates face a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.51, meaning debt equals about half their first-year income. This is manageable compared to many degree programs, though debt levels are slightly above the Texas state median of $8,467. Earnings growth is modest but steady, rising 7% to $20,259 by year four.

For families considering cosmetology training, this program offers a reliable path with below-average financial risk and above-average earning potential within the field. While it won't match the outcomes of Texas's top cosmetology schools, it provides solid preparation for a stable career without the crushing debt loads associated with many higher education programs.
