The primary goal of Empire Beauty Schools is to develop in our students the highest possible degree of technical and professional competence. We train each of our students in the principles and practices of cosmetology, esthetics, and barbering. Empire Beauty Schools is continually trying to provide each of our students with marketable skills and professional attitudes. These attitudes emphasize responsibility and commitment to self, employers, colleagues, clients, and community. Our objective is to train each student in the technical and social skills necessary to be a successful, competent cosmetologist, esthetician, or barber. Instruction takes place through a combination of theory class, practical work, clinical experience, group and individual activities. At the completion of our program, the student is prepared to enter the beauty profession and continue to grow and develop and make a contribution to the profession.
