California Barber
and Beauty College
For-profit College in San Diego, CA.
Academics
The federal six-year graduation rate is not published here — typically because the entering cohort this measure follows is too small or too atypical to report. Treat completion as unknown rather than assuming either direction. Retention is strong at 100%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. A 25:1 ratio means students need to be deliberate about getting faculty time. As a for-profit short-program school, outcomes here deserve a harder look than the sector average suggests: for-profit institutions vary enormously, and the sector's aggregate numbers hide both strong and very weak performers. This is a small school — 100 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 100 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $11,320 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Net price varies modestly by income — $10,369 at $0–30k against $17,039 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 63% of students receive grant aid, averaging $5,426 — common but not automatic. Federal borrowing is uncommon here at 18% of students.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.

Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $10,369 |
| $30–48k | $14,189 |
| $48–75k | $12,382 |
| $75–110k | $17,039 |
