About This School
Empire Beauty School-Gwinnett is a private for-profit institution located in Lawrenceville, Georgia with approximately 130 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $16,203 per year. The graduation rate is 55%, and the typical graduate earns $23,000 within 10 years of enrollment.
This school is best suited for students who are focused specifically on a career in cosmetology and want to get into the workforce quickly without taking on significant debt. The relatively low median debt at graduation — just $10,231 — is a genuine bright spot, and for a vocational program, that's a reasonable amount to take on. That said, the numbers here deserve a hard look before you commit: a 55% graduation rate means nearly half of students who start don't finish, and median earnings of $23,000 a year a decade after enrollment will make it difficult to build financial stability, especially in a metro area like Atlanta. At $16,203 per year in net costs, you'll want to make sure you have a clear plan for completing the program on schedule, since dropping out leaves you with debt and no credential. My honest advice is to visit, talk to recent graduates working in the area, and ask the school directly what support they offer students who are struggling — because the graduation rate suggests too many people are falling through the cracks.
