About this school
Hair Expressions Academy is a private for-profit trade school in Rockville, Maryland, located in a small city setting. Federal data does not show this campus as accredited in DAPIP, and federal financial aid (Title IV) is not available here, according to the data provided. The school's main programs are esthetician training and cosmetology training, with 38 completers in esthetician programs and 23 in cosmetology, for a total of 61 program completers.
Several outcome figures commonly used to compare trade schools are not reported for this campus in federal data. The state average completion rate for similar programs in Maryland is 46.9 percent, but this campus's own completion rate and how it compares to that state average are not reported for this campus in federal data. Median debt of graduates, median earnings 10 years after entry, annual cost of attendance, and the share of students receiving Pell Grants are also not reported for this campus in federal data.
Because federal aid does not apply here per the data provided, this program may suit someone able to pay out of pocket or through other financing, though prospective students should confirm this directly with the school. The two program families offered, esthetician and cosmetology, are typically shorter, hands-on training tracks rather than multi-year degree programs, which may appeal to career changers seeking a faster path into a licensed trade. Anyone considering enrollment should independently verify accreditation status and any available outcome data through the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard and by contacting the school directly, since key figures are not reported for this campus in federal data.
