I loved my experience at Empire salon. Everyone is so welcoming. I've seen the stylist Shareya Wilson and she absolutely transformed my hair! She has turned my hair the best it's ever looked, she is my super talented gem! I've been going here for years, and every stylist I have seen has been fantastic. Great atmosphere, I love the team work. The staff are truly amazing at training the students. I enjoy talking to the staff. They truly passionate about helping the young ones.

Oh my goodness! Rocky is the sweetest, most gentle and attentive person I’ve ever met! She made sure I was doing alright and happy and made sure I walked out looking like fire! She belongs there! Thank you to her and her wonderful team, cause I walked in there and said’” I just need help”. They did that and so much more! And I got this look without any chemicals! I’ll definitely be seeing them soon!
