Empire Education Group schools recently held their annual First Responders Day event, inviting local Firefighters, Police Officers and Emergency Medical Technicians to enjoy one complimentary service at the student salon.

Each of Empire’s 110 schools in 21 states took part in the event. The First Responders were treated to the complimentary service by students under the supervision of licensed instructors.

The day is a way to say thank you to the First Responders who are often on the front lines of Domestic Violence related incidents.
