Emprie Beauty Schools

Waste of Money

Empire Beauty School
I have to say that Empire is without a doubt the worst beauty school and need to e closed and funds collected should be refunded to all students. I cannot begin to express my sadness when talking about my experience at this school. From the first day of class and until the very last day I had I complained to whom ever was in charge since it changes on a regular basis. Many students are disruptive and do not follow the rules and the teachers do not enforce the rules. There is huge turn over rate for teachers they come and go on a weekly basis. Some teachers were very boring and and no clue what was going on. Admissions made it seem like we were going to learn from the best most gifted instructors but that was not the case.

If you are serious about the hair industry do not go to Empire as it is a dream killer. You will loose all interest if you go to Empire. The daily cirriculum was not what I was told it would be during the admission process. I barely learned how to do a starboard hair cut and I blame this on the teachers that come and go. The director would pull teachers out of classroom for three hour long meetings leaving the students in class with nothing to do. Much time is wasted, and classroom time is poorly planned. I would sit there and think how much I was paying for the program and narrowed it down to the minute and would get so angry about how much money was being wasted. They never had any supplies, paper towels, shampoo, conditioner or gloves. As soon as you pay that $3,000 and sign on the dotted line they kick you to the curb.

Lady D said: I cannot speak for other Empire Schools, but the school i attend needs some direction it is literally falling apart at the seams. Teachers are there for half the curriculum and then leave we have no director or evening senior instructor. The day students are continuously getting arrested from beating each other up. We are in a nice area with a good community and i think personally the students are becoming discouraged and restless due to the lack of care from the educators. Our school is a great place to learn we used to have so many great fun things going on and now it seems that the instructors just do not care anymore. On behalf of the other students that i go to school with we are trying to brainstorm to make our environment a better place for learning so anyone reading this if you can help please help us from getting this school shut down

Beauty Schools said: The information of this site is the story of somebody else that had taken training from empire beauty schools and not satisfied with the system of schools. So, it is safe and good option for any person to get the enquiry about the schools by themselves. These type of schools are giving theoretical and practical knowledge to make the students expert in beauty skills http://www.beautyschoolsinfo.com/

kbaby said: funny how none of you can spell properly and are complaining so much. Maybe It isn't Empire. Maybe it's just the Empire you go to. Or it's you. Many people are plenty happy with their placement at Empire.

Annoyed said: I spent three years in college trying to figure out where I fit in in the world. I decided to enroll at empire purly for the fact that it was convenient. Little did I know that this was a decision that I would regret. Still enrolled I spend most of my days trying to figure out why and how I ended up here. I was treated like gold ad soon as I walked in the door. Promised that j would be happy and that I had nothing to worry about. This is a great career, teachers are here to help, you're going to be making so much money, you'll travel. These are just some of the things I was promised upon arrival. I feel as though I've wasted 4 months of my life. Every part of me is saying you should have bit your tongue and stayed in college. There is no discipline, no actual teaching, and absolutely no reason for these schools to still even be open. It's such a joke, but at the end of it all only empire is laughing. Why? Cause they are walking away with my twelve thousand dollars and I'm walking away with no education and no way to make a career out of the things I learned there which is sarcasim and a new found hatred for cosmetology. With the choice to either drop out and lose all ,y money or stay and continue to be absolutely miserable. Makes for a hard decision. Never would do this again.

Close school said: I agree that EMPIRE BEAUTY SCHOOL is not by far worth $ 17000 +... Although at the time i was there teachers were not coming & going so much but what i can say is that the teachers & directors were messy spiteful women. You know i think i go to school to be judged by the teachers & directors cause there worthless opinion of whether or not they think im going to make it the industry gets back to you.

THIS IS NOT A REAL COLLEGE ATMOSPHERE!!! i can go on about about this school & how i and other students were treated but i wont.

Sometimes i think the people who make good comments abt this school are staff!! Cause i just never heard a student make a good comment about this school, why, not even the favored students said anything good about EMPIRE BEAUTY SCHOOL

User4268 replied to Close school : I agree with what everyone says I'm going through a I wasted my money on this terrible school faze. I do t know how to get out of empire. I pretty much signed my life away. I go to school each day literally stating at the clock. I observe student swearing, fighting with staff, complaining, passing the time away by doing their own hair and nails, smoking cigarettes or smoking pot, fighting with other students, watching drugs being bought or traded, hearing about teacher student relationships gone bad, and honestly I can't take it anymore. When something goes wrong we're pretty much told to just keep it bush hush becuause it will make the school be bad. Empire used to be blaine the same issues went on then that they do now it's just called s so ethnic different. What they don't tell you I. The brochure is that the 7 months in your life will be filled with regret.
