About this school

Creative Hair School of Cosmetology is a private for-profit trade school located in Flint, Michigan, in a large suburb setting. The school is accredited by the National Accrediting Commission of Career Arts and Sciences, and it participates in Title IV federal financial aid, meaning students may use FAFSA-based aid including Pell Grants. The campus awards credentials most often in esthetician programs (24 completions), cosmetology (15 completions), and nail technician training (1 completion).

Federal data shows a completion rate of 62.5%, which is above the Michigan state average of 56.9%. Graduates who took out loans carried a median debt of $15,406. Median earnings 10 years after entry are not reported for this campus in federal data. Annual cost of attendance is listed at $20,622, and 60.5% of students receive Pell Grants, indicating a substantial share of low-income enrollment.

This campus centers on short, hands-on beauty-industry programs rather than multi-year associate degrees, based on the program families offered (esthetician, cosmetology, nail technician). Given the program lengths implied by these fields, this setting may suit those seeking a focused, single-track credential rather than a broad academic path; no claims about adult or career-changer fit beyond this can be made from the data provided. Prospective students should verify current accreditation status directly with NACCAS and review official outcomes on the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard before enrolling, since some figures, like post-completion earnings, are not reported for this campus in federal data.
