How earnings spread, 4 to 10 years after entry
Treasury tax-record earnings for federally aided students who first enrolled at this institution. Each point is a horizon from the most-recent vintage. Single median per horizon (no p25/p75 publishing).

CAUSAL DISCIPLINE
“Paul Mitchell the School-Dallas graduates earn $X” — not “Paul Mitchell the School-Dallas makes you earn $X”
Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending Paul Mitchell the School-Dallas caused. Selection effects (who admits, who enrolls, who completes) are real. We publish federal data with strict descriptive phrasing — and link the methodology where you can read about the limitations directly.
