A special thank you to Councilman Jaime Baez Jaime Baez Jr for recognizing our very own student, Joycelyn, for her dedication to serving our community! ✨

When we were invited to provide free haircuts at a back-to-school event, Joycelyn went above and beyond by donating backpacks of her own to help local students start the school year off right. 🎒💇‍♀️

Joycelyn is a beautiful example of how our students are making a difference both inside and outside the classroom. We are so proud of her generosity, heart, and commitment to giving back!

Nail Technician vs. Cosmetologist: What’s the Difference? 10/08/2026

Love nail art? Your beauty career options are worth exploring. 💅

A nail technician specializes in nail care, while a cosmetologist learns hair services, nail care, and basic skin care.

At Empire Beauty School, students learn nail-care skills as part of our broader cosmetology program. We do not currently offer a separate nail technology program.

Wondering which path fits your goals? Read our blog to explore the differences in training, services, and licensing requirements.
