About this school

Studio Beauty School is a private for-profit trade campus located in Spokane Valley, Washington. It is accredited by the National Accrediting Commission of Career Arts and Sciences, and federal financial aid (Title IV) can be used by eligible students. The campus offers six programs, with the largest numbers of completers in esthetician schools, cosmetology schools, and nail technician schools.

Federal data shows a completion rate of 81.8%, which is above the Washington state average of 66.1%. Median debt among graduates is $6,582, though median earnings 10 years after entry are not reported for this campus in federal data. Annual cost of attendance is listed at $24,076, and 46.6% of students receive Pell Grants, indicating a substantial share of lower-income enrollees.

Given the concentration in esthetician, cosmetology, and nail technician programs, this campus fits students pursuing short, hands-on certificate-style training in personal care trades rather than multi-year associate degrees. The above-average completion rate and relatively low graduate debt may appeal to career changers seeking a shorter path to licensure, though program length itself is not detailed here. Prospective students should verify current accreditation status directly with NACCAS and review the school's outcomes on the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard before enrolling.
