About this school

All In The Wrist Barber Academy is a private for-profit trade school located in Smyrna, Delaware, in a midsize suburb setting. The school is accredited by the National Accrediting Commission of Career Arts and Sciences and participates in Title IV federal financial aid, meaning students can use FAFSA and Pell Grants to help pay for programs. The campus offers barber school training, with two programs recorded, and this is the main field of study awarded here.

Federal data shows a completion rate of 26.3%, which is below the Delaware state average of 61.4%. Median debt of graduates is not reported for this campus in federal data, and median earnings 10 years after entry are also not reported for this campus in federal data. Annual cost of attendance is listed at $10,056. A large share of students, 77.8%, receive Pell Grants, suggesting the student population includes many from lower-income backgrounds.

With a small undergraduate enrollment of 21 and only 2 recorded trade completers, this is a small-scale barber training program. Based on the program family and setting, this campus may suit students seeking focused, hands-on barbering instruction rather than a broad associate-degree pathway; adult or career-changer fit cannot be confirmed beyond this from the data provided. Prospective students should verify current accreditation status directly with the National Accrediting Commission of Career Arts and Sciences and review official outcomes on the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard before enrolling.
