I attended Empire Beauty School in 2010. When I first contacted them about going to school their they treated me with royalty, until after I enrolled and they got my money then everything changed. I was used and abused their. They did many wrongdoing their, threatening me telling me not to tell ANYONE about what happened. Now I am seeing an attorney to fight for me and hopefully transfer to a different cosmetology school. The so called education they promised me was nothing short than a huge scam. I've also witness students cutting clients and making them bleed, students being rebellious and cutting someone's hair the wrong way, and they don't tell the client they did it. They just do their best to conceal it and hope that the client won't notice, which they of course usually don't, because they're not cosmetologists. I have also witnessed our school being vandalized by students, and of course we were instructed to clean it up immediately so the clients did not see. The staff are awful once they get your money they treat you like crap. I also found out many of their students are failing state boards.
