Beauty school means you get started with a student supply kit. It includes six mannequins to practice on as well as all your other starter supplies, like scissors and a blow dryer. After you get started with your classes, you might find that you are ready for an upgrade. If that’s the case, check out the Empire Student and Alumni Store.
The store was developed to help students afford beauty supplies. Let’s face it, we all cut hair a little different. We all have different size hands and special techniques that are unique to our cosmetology style. The Empire Store allows you to upgrade your supplies at a discount. How sweet is that? High end manufactures sell their products at savings to our students. Of course, not all the discounts are the same since they are determined by the manufacturers, but we’ve tried to save you some green. When you’re a student, it all adds up.
There are lots of other products offered in the alumni store, too. You can find Empire gear (the yellow ‘e’ logo among other things.) If you have a mishap with a mannequin, you can purchase new ones. There are even Master of Beauty supplies to get you geared up for post-grad seminars. Whoo hoo! Finally, fear not if it’s almost time for your state boards, the Empire Store offers supplies for that too. You’ll be passing your licensing exam and stocking up on tools in no time.
The best part about the Empire Store? When you attend Empire, you get lifetime benefits. Yup, you can use the store for discounts even as an alumni. Typically, we all reach an age where our college gear like bumper stickers comes off the car, but, as a cosmetologist, you will always hold the golden scissors to your future. The Empire Store just lets you buy them at a discount.
Did you try out the Empire Store? What did you purchase? What manufactures offered the best discounts? Any additional items you’d like to see offered?
