Hundreds of Students vote on their favorite beauty products for Empire Beauty School's First Annual Student Stylist Choice Awards

Pottsville, PA, January 30th, 2010 – For the first time, Empire Beauty School has asked its students to name their favorite beauty products for what will be its annual Student Stylist Choice Awards. Nearly 400 beauty-professionals-in-training from around the country voted, choosing their favorite makeup, hair and nail products and brands.

Working with countless professional and non-professional products both in their training and personal lives, the students are in a unique position to make highly educated judgments about the performance of various beauty products. "We're always looking for the best products and tools to supply our students with," said Franklin K. Schoeneman, CEO and Chairman of Empire Beauty Schools. "So we were very interested to see who, out of thousands of beauty products on the market, would be honored."
