About This School
Empire Beauty School-Littleton is a private for-profit institution located in Littleton, Colorado with approximately 48 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $17,136 per year. The graduation rate is 68%, and the typical graduate earns $24,800 within 10 years of enrollment.
This school is best suited for students who are focused, career-minded, and want to enter the beauty industry quickly without taking on significant debt. The manageable median debt at graduation of $10,667 is a genuine bright spot — it's well below what you'd see at many cosmetology programs — and the small enrollment of 48 students means you're likely to get hands-on attention rather than getting lost in a crowd. That said, the numbers tell a story worth sitting with: median earnings of $24,800 a decade after enrollment are quite low, and while a 68% graduation rate is decent for this type of school, nearly a third of students don't finish, which is a real risk to weigh. Before committing to the $17,136 annual net price, I'd strongly encourage your student to talk to recent graduates about their actual job placement and income, and to research whether Colorado licensing requirements align well with this program's curriculum. If your student has a clear passion for cosmetology and a plan to build clientele quickly, this could be a reasonable, low-debt path — but go in with eyes open about the earning ceiling.
