About This School
Empire Beauty School-Thornton is a private for-profit institution located in Thornton, Colorado with approximately 104 undergraduate students enrolled. Typical graduates earn $22,700 within 10 years of enrollment.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: graduates earn a median of $22,700 a decade after enrolling, which is a modest return for a career in cosmetology and leaves little financial cushion. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a relatively manageable $10,667, so you won't be buried in loans. Worth considering if you're committed to the beauty industry and have a clear local job market in mind, but go in with realistic salary expectations and a concrete plan for building clientele.
