From a graduates perspective, this school is adequate. They prepare you well for working in a…read moresalon. The classes are in depth, the hands on experience is exceedingly valuable, and the supplies are superlative. However that being said, one of the biggest setbacks that I struggled with was lack of knowledge with some of the teachers. Some teachers are fabulous, Miss Andrea, Miss Caroline, Miss Mel, and Miss Julie to name a few( I didnt have all the teachers, so I may be leaving some out) I had the greatest pleasure to have spent the most time with Miss Andrea and she's one of the reasons I've done so well. But some others weren't as adequate. Being in the profession however, Empire students seem to be the most prepared out of most of the other schools I've seen. It has its cons, but I believe the Pros far outweigh them. If I had to choose again I would still pick Empire.

As a recent graduate of American Academy of Health and Beauty's 750 Hour - Full Time Day Massage…read moreTherapy Program, it has been an honor and a privilege to be taught and trained by Kerry Mannon, LMT. Kerry's hands-on style of teaching along with her ability to pivot and change her methods to cater to each students individual learning style is something you truly remarkable and noteworthy. She truly is a master of her craft and a gifted healer; her passion for teaching others shines every day. The respect that her former students have for her is a testament to what an amazing person she is inside and out, and how grateful each former student is for not only learning from her but for her continued advice and guidance in their careers. The respect that members of the Massage Community have for Kerry is also evident, as many therapists and businesses seek out students from AAHB that have been taught by Kerry. Kerry is not only a teacher, she is the kind of person who you know truly cares about you and truly cares about you, your career, your ups, downs and wins and losses. In my honest opinion Kerry Mannon, LMT is a National Treasure and I am forever grateful to have met her and been taught by her. I am also thankful and grateful to have been able to be taught by Amber Fraga, LMT, her extensive knowledge of Massage, Health, and Business is astounding and she's not afraid to break your comfort level and help you gain new skills and heal your body and soul, her Sports Therapy techniques are second to none and it's an honor that such a sought after Therapist is willing to teach and share her knowledge to the students of AAHB. She truly cares about each indivdual student and setting you up for success. I am further truly grateful to have been taught by Noelle Dinsmore, LMT, Noelle brings a fresh perspective to the Massage Therapy program, as a graduate of the school herself she truly knows what it takes to successfully navigate the program and have a successful career in Massage Therapy. Her positivity radiates and commands a room and her hands on and visual teaching style along with her real-world experiences is something that's hard to find. I feel that this program has fully prepared me for MBlex testing and for a successful career as a Licensed Massage Therapist. This program and this school and its staff has completely changed my life in the past 7 months. From the moment I contacted the school in October of 2025 and spoke with Zoe, she made me feel valued and that she cared about my time, answering all of my questions and scheduling me to come tour the school at a time that was convenient for me and addressing all of my concerns. I then met Awais,he gave an extremely informative tour of the facility and showed his kindness and compassion and his willingness to assist me with all of my questions, concerns as I navigated changing careers. This school (myself included) is extremely lucky to have such a kind, patient, and caring woman like Galina in thier financial office. I am so grateful for her assistance with everything from scholarships to payment plans to communicating with anyone I needed her to regarding my enrollment in the program. I also need to express my gratitude for Melissa Dinsmore, for her kindness, caring, compassion and business advice. I was able to mock interviews with Missy and her feedback and tips and tricks were exactly what I needed to boost my confidence and realize I was making the right choice changing careers.

I'm writing this review with real disappointment. My first visit to Empire Beauty School in…read moreSomersworth, NH had been positive, but my most recent experience was so unprofessional that I feel obligated to warn others. I booked an appointment weeks in advance for a hairstyle and even rearranged my work schedule--taking a half-day--to travel nearly an hour for the service. Two days before the appointment, Empire called to confirm, so I assumed everything was in order. When I arrived, however, I was abruptly told that my assigned student stylist had simply not shown up and had not called. Even worse, the staff informed me there was no backup and admitted they "didn't have time" to notify me. That lack of courtesy would have saved me significant travel time and inconvenience. This was, without question, one of the most unprofessional experiences I've ever had in a business setting. A no-call, no-show in any real workplace is grounds for immediate dismissal. If students are not held to basic professional standards--like notifying the school when they are absent--they leave ill-prepared for employment. This reflects poorly not only on the individual student but on the administration responsible for training and supervising them. Sadly, this was not an isolated incident. During my earlier visit, another customer shared that the exact same thing had happened to her: she arrived for a scheduled appointment only to discover her student stylist hadn't shown up. If you're a prospective student considering investing your money here, I urge you to think carefully. A school's reputation matters, and if employers see patterns of unprofessional behavior from graduates, it affects everyone--especially the students who are dedicated and responsible. To the Empire administration: I truly hope you address these issues. Your students--and your customers--deserve a higher standard of professionalism than what I experienced.

I accidentally called the Manchester school when I made an appointment, but the Hudson school was able to take me with only a few minutes waiting! Stephanie was very nice, not overly chatty (which I appreciate!), and discussed what I wanted and what would look best. She consulted her instructor before starting to cut my hair, once while cutting to make sure she did not cut my angles too short, and then afterward the instructor came over to make sure everything was even and that I was pleased. I would have liked the back a little shorter, but I am waiting for old layers to grow out so I will return in a month or so for another haircut. $10 got me a wash/conditioning and haircut, and that included a tip. Everyone was very friendly, albeit busy. The process took much longer than I expected though - 2 hours total, and I have short hair and did not get any layering done. If you allot yourself plenty of time to relax and remember that these are students, you'll have a great experience!
