About This School
Empire Beauty School-Kennesaw is a private for-profit institution located in Kennesaw, Georgia with approximately 161 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $15,027 per year. The graduation rate is 57%, and the typical graduate earns $23,000 within 10 years of enrollment.
This school is best suited for students who are passionate about a career in cosmetology and want a relatively low-cost, focused path to licensure — not a traditional college experience. The manageable median debt of $10,231 is a genuine bright spot, meaning graduates aren't buried under loans as they build their careers. That said, I want to be honest with you: a 57% graduation rate means nearly half of students who start here don't finish, and median earnings of $23,000 a decade after enrollment are quite modest — you'll want to think carefully about whether that income supports the life you're planning. Before applying, I'd strongly encourage visiting the campus, talking to recent graduates about job placement, and asking the school directly what separates students who finish from those who don't. If cosmetology is truly the goal and you have a clear plan to stay enrolled and get licensed, this can be a workable option — just go in with realistic expectations about earning potential.
