Wow 🤩! What a beautiful, professional place to take my teen daughter. Ms. Heather was so patient with me as the mom who ask 100 questions before I even made our appointment. Love that!! We scheduled with Hartney and she was the best of the best to have do my teens hair. It was my daughter’s first time dying her hair and like most teens they have in thier minds what and how they want everything to go 😂. But, Ms. Hartney not only did it to my teens specifications, she educated her on how to take care of her hair and warned of everything that can happen if she doesn’t take care of it. My daughter left with the biggest smile 😊. As I sat and waited I watched other students making relationship with their clients and taking their time with each one. I’m glad we gave Empire beauty school in Avondale a chance! It turned out 💯x’s better than our expectations.

This time I got my haircut done by my friend Wendy, and she absolutely nailed it. I’ve had my hair done by her a few times, and she just keeps getting better every time. For this cut, she designed a spiderweb in my undercut, and it turned out so clean and awesome. Wendy is always kind, professional, and just overall awesome to work with. She really listens to what you want and puts in the effort to make it look amazing. I’ll definitely keep going back to her! Much love, Annabelle W
