About this school
Legends Barber College is a private for-profit trade school located in Lufkin, Texas, a remote-town locale. The campus is accredited by the Council on Occupational Education and participates in federal Title IV programs, meaning students can use FAFSA-based aid such as Pell Grants to help pay for their training. The school's primary program family is barber schools, with 14 completers reported in the most recent federal data out of a small undergraduate enrollment of 26 students.
Federal Scorecard data shows a completion rate of 50.0%, which is below the Texas state average of 63.5% for similar programs. Median debt of graduates and median earnings 10 years after entry are not reported for this campus in federal data. Annual cost of attendance is listed at $16,221, and 53.6% of students receive Pell Grants, indicating a substantial share of the student body qualifies for need-based federal aid.
This single-program campus is built around barber training rather than multi-year associate degrees, which may suit students seeking a focused, shorter-term path into a licensed trade rather than a broader academic track. Because debt and earnings figures aren't available here, prospective students weighing career-change decisions should independently verify outcomes and licensing requirements. You can confirm accreditation status directly with the Council on Occupational Education and review official federal statistics on the College Scorecard before enrolling.
