Every Empire student has a unique story and career goals. But they all have one thing in common: they all chose cosmetology. here are just a few reasons why:

: : The number of personal appearance jobs is projected

to jump 31% between 2008 and 20187

: : Demand for hair coloring and other advanced hair

treatments has increased in recent years5

: : 6th largest growth field3

: : nearly half of salon employees choose a flexible part-

time schedule so they can balance other priorities2

: : Many workers, especially those who are self-employed,

determine their own schedules5

Empire Beauty Schools has always been a family business, and you will see that we have the values of a family. As the third generation of the Schoeneman family to lead Empire, and with a fourth on board, we will always give back to the communities where our schools are located. That is why I am proud to lead the Empire Gives Back program. It gives me another chance to live Empire’s core purpose every day…creating opportunities for people to improve their lives. Through this effort, our students, educators and administrators have helped thousands of people in need all across the country. I could not be more delighted with our team’s efforts and can only see it growing with our continued expansion. Frank schoenemanEmpire Education Group Chairman and CEO
