Client Financing

Cosmetology & beauty school financing

Beauty school financing for every future stylist.

Your future stylists, barbers and estheticians are often early in their careers, with limited credit and little savings. A monthly tuition payment, and a waterfall that doesn't stop at one lender, keeps classes full.

The problem

Why tuition gets in the way.

Young students, thin credit

Many students have little or no credit history, so traditional lenders decline them even when they're ready to start.

Gaps after aid

Even at schools that offer financial aid, there's often a gap for kits, fees or the remaining balance.

Missed payments on in-house plans

Running your own tuition plan means your front desk ends up chasing payments instead of enrolling students.

How tuition financing works

One application. Every lender. Every applicant.

  1. Share your link

    Add the application to your tours, enrollment calls and tuition page.

  2. One application

    Students apply once. The waterfall checks 17 BNPL and consumer lenders, then Everyone Is Approved programs and your LMPP plans.

  3. Start class

    Students pick an affordable monthly payment and e-sign before their start date.

FAQ

Hair & Beauty Schools financing questions

Can cosmetology students finance tuition with no credit?

Yes. When your waterfall includes an Everyone Is Approved program, every student who completes the application receives an offer, including students with little or no credit history.

Can financing cover the gap after financial aid?

Yes. Many schools use payment plans for the remaining balance, kits and fees that aid doesn't cover.

Who collects payments?

Lenders service the loans they fund. On LMPP plans, Client Financing's bilingual team handles reminders and collections.

Can we set our own down payment?

Yes. On LMPP you choose no down payment, a percentage or a fixed amount for each program.
