About this school
Trendsetters School of Beauty & Barbering is a private for-profit trade school located in Jacksonville, Florida. The campus is accredited by the National Accrediting Commission of Career Arts and Sciences and participates in federal Title IV financial aid, meaning students can use FAFSA-based aid to help pay for their training. The school's main programs are barber schools and cosmetology schools, with barber training representing the larger share of program offerings.
Federal data shows a completion rate of 100.0% among the small cohort of trade completers tracked, which is above the Florida state average of 70.5% for similar programs. Graduates carry a median debt of $11,211, and median earnings 10 years after entry are reported at $25,222. Annual cost of attendance is not reported for this campus in federal data. About 42.4% of students receive Pell Grants, indicating a substantial share of the student body qualifies for need-based federal aid.
With only 18 undergraduate students enrolled and a small completer cohort of 7, this is a small, hands-on campus in a large city setting. The barber and cosmetology program formats suggest a fit for students seeking focused, licensure-oriented training rather than a multi-year degree path, though specific program lengths are not reported here.
