History

In 2010, Empire Beauty Schools acquired the Northern Westchester School of Hairdressing and Cosmetology in Peekskill, New York, as well as the International Academy of Cosmetology School in Cincinnati, Ohio.[4][5]

Empire Beauty Schools opened the company's 100th campus in Springfield, Pennsylvania, in 2010. The school was unveiled during Empire Education Group's 100 Days of Empire event.[6]

The newest eco-friendly schools were opened in West Palm Beach, Florida, Pineville, North Carolina, and Paramus, New Jersey. The schools follow on the heels of the Lauderhill, Florida, beauty school which picked up the Green Conscious Salon Certification award from the Florida Association of Beauty Professionals. All of the cosmetology schools incorporated eco-conscious elements such as energy and water saving features.[7][8]
