I was inrolled at Empire Beauty School since Jan.2008 went thru alot. They do not follow rules there, only the ones they want to or the ones they make up. They do not help there students, particularly the night class. My husbands sister got cancer, it was bad they didnt think that she would make it so my family went to see her in Arizona. I called the school and told them what was going on.When i got back two weeks later they told me I was dropped oneday prior of getting home. They said you can only miss 14 days excused or not, i had a doctors note. we left 7/13/09 got back 7/25/09. That is only ten days, school days. They counted the weekend before we left, and the weekend i was gone. I was suppost to graduate in December 2009. And they are sending me letters saying i owe them $100 for administration fees. Plus i am still going to have to pay for my loans. I do not recommend this school to anyone!
