About this school
United Beauty College is a private for-profit trade school located in Denver, Colorado. It participates in federal Title IV financial aid programs, meaning students may be eligible for FAFSA-based aid such as federal loans or Pell Grants. Its accreditation status was not found in the DAPIP database, so applicants should confirm current accreditation directly with the school. The campus awards credentials across four program families, most commonly nail technician training, esthetician training, and cosmetology, with nail technician programs representing the largest share of completions (16), followed by esthetician (6) and cosmetology (2).
In terms of outcomes, the college reported 24 trade program completers. The state average completion rate for comparable programs in Colorado is 69.2%, but this campus's own completion rate and its comparison to the 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.
Given its focus on nail technician, esthetician, and cosmetology training, this campus may suit students seeking shorter, hands-on programs tied to state licensing fields rather than multi-year associate degrees.
