Transitions to Empire Education Group

Our beauty schools are unlike any others—in ways that will be very valuable to you. Our competitive advantages not only make our schools the best, they make our students the best. And we focus solely on our students, creating an educational experience that they truly enjoy.

1. CLiC (Certified Learning in Cosmetology) allows you to learn by seeing and doing, and it’s only available at our Empire schools.

2. TeamBoards and digital textbooks make learning easier because it’s more interactive and visual.

3. Empire’s Future Professionals Expo introduces you to the beauty industry, where you’ll learn from top stylists, interview with prospective employers and compete for great prizes.

4. Empire’s strategic partnership with Regis—with more than 12,000 salons—provides an extensive network of employment opportunities.

5. At Empire, it’s not just an education…it’s an experience. We think you’ll embrace our comfortable and enriching culture.
