History
editIn 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. All of the cosmetology schools incorporated eco-conscious elements such as energy and water-saving features.[7][8]
Since its peak in 2010, Empire closed 1 school in 2011, 5 schools in 2014, 10 schools in 2015, 11 schools in 2016, 8 schools in 2018, 4 schools in 2019, and 8 schools in 2020.[9]
In early 2020, Empire Education Group acquired Regis' financial stake in the company.[10]
