Cosmetology school in Washington
49 cosmetology programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free

In Washington, 18 of the 49 programs take students without a high school diploma, 30 ask for a diploma or equivalent and 1 asks for earlier courses first.
By kind, the 49 programs here are cosmetology license program (32 programs), cosmetology apprenticeship (7 programs), cosmetology (associate degree, 6 programs) and hair design, hairstyling or braiding (4 programs).

Where the Washington cosmetology program numbers come from
Which Washington cosmetology programs are on this list?
These are the cosmetology programs Washington approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).9 The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what Washington offers.
How the prices and results of Washington cosmetology programs are measured
Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.
