About This School
Empire Beauty School-Stone Park is a private for-profit institution located in Stone Park, Illinois with approximately 136 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $16,751 per year. The graduation rate is 39%, and the typical graduate earns $25,900 within 10 years of enrollment.
Students who are highly self-motivated, have a clear passion for cosmetology, and want to enter the workforce quickly will find the most fit here — but the numbers deserve a serious look before you commit. The graduation rate sits at just 39%, which means fewer than half of students who start actually finish, and that's a red flag worth understanding before you enroll. Graduates who do complete the program earn a median of $25,900 ten years out, which is a modest income relative to the $16,751 annual net price — though the median debt at graduation of $13,583 is at least manageable compared to many other schools. My honest advice: visit the campus, talk directly to current students about why so many leave, and ask the admissions team what support exists for students who are struggling to stay on track. If you have other accredited cosmetology program options nearby, compare their graduation rates carefully before deciding.
