Welcome to Elevate Salon Institute's net price calculator. Begin by reading and agreeing to the statement below. Then follow the instructions on the subsequent screens to receive an estimate of how much students similar to you paid to attend Elevate Salon Institute in 2025-26.
Please read. This calculator is intended to provide estimated net price information (defined as estimated cost of attendance – including tuition and required fees, books and supplies, room and board (meals), and other related expenses – minus estimated grant and scholarship aid) to current and prospective students and their families based on what similar students paid in a previous year.
By clicking below, I acknowledge that the estimate provided using this calculator does not represent a final determination, or actual award, of financial assistance, or a final net price; it is an estimate based on cost of attendance and financial aid provided to students in a previous year. Cost of attendance and financial aid availability change year to year. The estimates shall not be binding on the Secretary of Education, the institution of higher education, or the State.
Students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to be eligible for, and receive, an actual financial aid award that includes Federal grant, loan, or work-study assistance. For more information on applying for Federal student aid, go to studentaid.gov.

Understanding Your Beauty School Costs
What Is a Net Price Calculator?
A net price calculator estimates what you'll actually pay for school after subtracting grants, scholarships, and financial aid from the total cost of attendance. The "sticker price" of tuition is often much higher than what most students actually pay. This tool helps you understand your real costs before you commit.
What's Included in Cost of Attendance?
Cost of attendance includes more than just tuition. It covers fees, books and supplies (including your professional kit), transportation costs, and personal living expenses. At ESI, your kit includes professional-grade tools and L'Oréal Professionnel products — everything you need to start your career.
Federal Financial Aid
ESI participates in Title IV federal financial aid. Eligible students can receive Pell Grants (up to $7,395/year, no repayment required), federal student loans with low interest rates, and ESI-specific scholarships. Start by filing the FAFSA at studentaid.gov.
