About this school
Paul Mitchell the School-Honolulu is a private for-profit trade school located in Honolulu, Hawaii, in a large-city setting. Its accreditation status was not found in the DAPIP database, and federal financial aid such as FAFSA or Pell Grants is not available at this campus (title IV: No). The school's program offerings are concentrated in a single field, cosmetology, with 59 completers reported in that program family.
Federal data shows a state average completion percentage of 51.9% for comparable programs in Hawaii, but this campus's own completion rate, and how it compares to that state average, is 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 this school offers only cosmetology programs and does not participate in federal student aid, it may suit students who can pay out of pocket or through private financing and who are focused specifically on a cosmetology career path, including career changers, though program length and adult-learner fit are not stated in the available data.
