About This School
Empire Beauty School-Jackson is a private for-profit institution located in Jackson, Tennessee with approximately 73 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $15,253 per year. The graduation rate is 40%, and the typical graduate earns $22,700 within 10 years of enrollment.
This school makes the most sense for students in the Jackson area who are set on a career in cosmetology, want to stay close to home, and need a relatively affordable path to licensure. The median debt at graduation is a manageable $10,667, which is genuinely one of the more reasonable figures you'll see for a beauty program. That said, I'd encourage any family to sit with two numbers carefully: only 40% of students who start here actually finish, and median earnings 10 years out are $22,700 — meaning many graduates are repaying loans on a tight income for years. Those aren't reasons to automatically walk away, but they are reasons to ask hard questions about what kind of support the school offers students who are struggling, and whether the local job market in Jackson can offer you something better than the median. Before enrolling, I'd strongly recommend talking to recent graduates working in the area to get an honest read on whether this credential actually opens doors locally.
