Xenon Academy — NACCAS-Accredited Cosmetology Program (Omaha, Multiple Enrollment Dates)

About This Opportunity

Xenon Academy is a NACCAS-accredited cosmetology school with a campus in Omaha, Nebraska. NACCAS accreditation means the program is federally recognized, which enables eligibility for Pell Grants and federal student loans — a significant cost-reduction pathway for lower-income students. Xenon's Cosmetology program is approximately 14 months long. Tuition is $18,750 (2024–2025 published rate). Federal financial aid data from 2022 shows the average net price after aid at approximately $12,983 — meaning that for students who qualify for financial aid, the real out-of-pocket cost can be substantially lower than the sticker price. Enrollment dates at Xenon Academy Omaha run in January, March, June, August, and October — five enrollment windows per year, which is more flexible than Capitol Beauty School's fewer annual starts. If you are exploring cosmetology as a licensed trade career in Omaha and want multiple options to compare, Xenon Academy and Capitol Beauty School are the two primary NACCAS-accredited programs in the metro. Cosmetology is a portable license — completing a Nebraska program and passing the Nebraska State Board exam earns you a credential that can transfer to other states through licensure endorsement. Contact Xenon Academy Omaha at 402-718-9853 or xenonacademy.net/omaha-nebraska/ for current tuition, financial aid, and enrollment dates.
