Cincinnati School
of Barbering & Hair Design
For-profit College in Cincinnati, OH. Six-year graduation rate 30%.
- ! Graduation rate 30% — below national average
Academics
A six-year graduation rate of 30% means finishing is closer to the exception than the rule. Retention is strong at 100%, and first-year attrition is where most degrees are lost. Retention runs well ahead of completion, which means students are not leaving immediately; they are leaving somewhere between the second year and the finish line. The 25:1 student-faculty ratio is high, so large classes and limited faculty contact should be the expectation. As a for-profit two-year institution, 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 69 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $10,779 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Net price varies modestly by income — $10,906 at $0–30k against $14,621 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid reaches 75% of students at an average of $6,453.
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 | $10,906 |
| $30–48k | $9,743 |
| $48–75k | $10,599 |
| $75–110k | $14,621 |
