Empire Beauty School is WONDERFUL! Ms. Danielle took care of my locs and did an amazing job! She has an awesome personality and takes pride in her work. Thanks, Ms. Danielle I appreciate your hard work. She's graduating soon, y'all better get your locs done ASAP if it's needed. The whole staff is EXCELLENT! Omg! I cannot forget the barber, Yeison! He hooked my fade up and it was BLISS from there. He's a Barber and Stylist. You can't get better than that! Lol. We had a great conversation and there was no faking it. I love that! Thanks everyone!

I had such a great experience with Nataly. She is precise, calm, and has such a kind, pleasant personality. She really listened to what I wanted, followed my directions perfectly, and checked in with me throughout the entire process to make sure everything felt right. I walked out with exactly what I asked for and loved every part of it. Highly recommend!

I came in today looking for a corrective cut on a terrible layered cut I paid a ridiculous amount of money for at a high end salon. As soon as I saw Crystallynn and Mr. J, I knew I was in good hands. Crystallynn may actually be the sweetest, warmest woman I’ve ever met. And her instructor, Mr. J, is a deeply meticulous and kind educator. Together, they walked me through every step they would take to make my hair perfect. I felt really safe. She really took the time to get to know my hair. This is the best cut I’ve ever had and I will follow Crystallynn anywhere she goes. I took a chance on Empire after a friend recommended them to me and I’m so glad I did. The attention to detail while cutting and all around enthusiasm about hair is so refreshing and made me feel amazing. I cannot recommend Crystallynn or Empire enough to anyone thinking of getting a service. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much!!
