My experience at Empire Beauty school was a great one! Everyone was friendly to me the minute I walked in the door and the facility was clean and I only had to wait a short time before I was pulled back for my appointment. The girl who did my hair, Shawna, was incredibly sweet & she took the time to make sure my hair was done well & to my liking. She was kind, considerate and I came in for an updo and she worked to make sure my expectations were met & she ended up exceeding them. I felt valued as a customer and would definitely recommend Empire beauty to others and would return in the future for services again.

I had an amazing experience! My stylist did a great job shampooing my locs, twisting them neatly, and styling them exactly the way I wanted. Very professional, gentle, and attentive to detail. I left feeling confident and refreshed. Highly recommend!

Brianna and Mahni did a great job today. Brianna did my pedicure and it came out amazing—clean, detailed, and she took her time to make sure everything looked and felt perfect. Mahni did my hair and I loved it. She’s very talented and made sure I was happy with the finished look. Both were professional, kind, and attentive the whole time. They’re very talented students and you can tell they really care about their work. I would definitely recommend them and I’ll be back.
