Cosmetology at The Temple Annapolis-A Paul Mitchell Partner School

The Temple Annapolis outperforms most cosmetology programs in Maryland and nationwide, placing in the 80th percentile among state competitors. First-year graduates earn $20,844—more than $4,000 above Maryland's median for cosmetology programs and roughly $3,700 above the national median. With debt of $12,583, the 0.60 debt-to-earnings ratio means graduates owe about seven months of their first-year salary, which is manageable compared to many cosmetology schools where debt can exceed a full year's earnings.

What's particularly encouraging is the earnings trajectory: graduates see a 17% income increase by year four, reaching $24,285. This suggests the program prepares students to build clientele and advance their careers rather than plateau early. The school educates a significant number of Pell-eligible students (39%), indicating it's accessible to families across income levels while still delivering strong outcomes.

For cosmetology training in Maryland, this represents solid value. Your child would graduate with debt they can reasonably manage while entering the workforce with better earning potential than most peers in the field. The Paul Mitchell partnership appears to translate into real market advantages for graduates competing in Maryland's beauty industry.
