Cost context
Where Empire Beauty School-Thornton sits on price and outcomes
At $16,752, Empire Beauty School-Thornton's reported average net price is cheaper than 46% among 67 Colorado colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $17,052.

- reported income-bracket spread
Price barely responds to income at this institution. Families under $30,000 report $15,641 and those above $110,000 report $19,535, a difference of just $3,894. Where the curve is this flat, need-based aid is doing little of the work and the sticker figure is close to what most families actually pay.
Median earnings six years after entry ($19,174) are less than 1.1 years of the reported net price. That is a thin margin, and it is the figure worth pressing the school on before enrolling. 65% complete within six years, so roughly 35% leave without the credential - and those students still carry whatever they paid.
Average net price reflects grant and scholarship aid for aided students, not a personal offer. Earnings cover former students who received federal aid; neither measure predicts an individual's outcome.
