Empire Beauty School review: Tuition, misguidance and negligence in student safety

As a former student who did not complete their studies, I am shocked to be over $7000.00 in dept to Empire Beauty school for time I did not attend the school.

For my time I was there I was covered majorly by Financial Aid. After leaving the school (approximately half way through) I was sent a bill from Empire for the remaining tuition. Although I did not attend for the second half of the required hours. Now my credit score has been affected.

When attending a 4 year school you only pay for the credits, materials, room and board to use.

My reason for leaving was due to health problems & while I was there a student harassed me, including threatening my life. Nothing was done until other students came forward.

Initially I wanted to attend Empire Beauty for the aesthetician program, however during the recruitment/ signing up portion I was told my personality was “too big” for that role and that I should do cosmetology, this program being twice as long and expensive.

Overall I find that Empire Beauty is a good school when it comes to academics however they are unfair in their financial aspect as will as misguide prospective students.
