About This School
Empire Beauty School-Maine is a private for-profit institution located in Portland, Maine with approximately 118 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $16,411 per year. Typical graduates earn $20,200 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: graduates earn a median of $20,200 ten years out, which is a modest income that will make repaying even the relatively low median debt of $7,667 feel tight if you're not building a strong client base quickly. This is a focused cosmetology program in a small, hands-on environment — worth considering if you're committed to the trade and have a clear plan to grow your earnings through tips, commission, or eventually owning a chair. Just go in with realistic expectations about income potential and make sure the $16,411 annual net price fits your budget before signing on.
