I recently visited Empire Beauty School for eyebrow, hand, and leg waxing, and I had a wonderful experience! My stylist, Victoria, did an amazing job. It was my first time getting my brows waxed and I was really nervous, but she made me feel comfortable right away. We talked the entire time, which made the appointment relaxing and enjoyable. She was gentle, professional, and explained everything step by step so I wouldn’t feel scared. She also gave me helpful suggestions and after-care tips. My eyebrows turned out beautiful and I’m very happy with the results. I highly recommend Empire Beauty School especially Victoria if you want a friendly and comfortable waxing experience. I will definitely come back!

Leighton did an amazing pedicure on me and I couldn’t be more impressed. From start to finish she was professional, gentle, and incredibly thorough. She paid attention to every detail, made sure I was comfortable the entire time, and the results were beautiful. You can truly see her passion and dedication in her work. My feet have never felt better, and the polish application was flawless. If you’re looking for someone who takes pride in what they do and delivers top-notch service, Leighton is it. I’m so proud of her and can’t wait to book with her again. Highly recommend! From: Lesley sanchez
