Empire Beauty Schools has always been a family business, and you will see that we have the values of a family. As the third generation of the Schoeneman family to lead Empire, and with a fourth on board, we will always give back to the communities where our schools are located. That is why I am proud to lead the Empire Gives Back program. It gives me another chance to live Empire’s core purpose every day…creating opportunities for people to improve their lives. Through this effort, our students, educators and administrators have helped thousands of people in need all across the country. I could not be more delighted with our team’s efforts and can only see it growing with our continued expansion.
