I have had appointments previously at Empire which have all been been good experiences, but today I was assigned to Monique. I have to say she was amazing. She immediately understood what I wanted in my hairstyle. She was very personable and very professional. My haircut turned out beautifully!!

Aaliyah was fantastic! I had my haircut today. 🥰Aaliyah listened to my concerns. She was knowledgeable and kind…actually I don’t have enough time to write all the wonderful things I’d like to write about Empire. In summary, Aaliyah and the entire staff are amazing individuals. Their faces beam with smiles and confidence. That is exactly what you get. I’ll definitely be back! I love my haircut, Aaliyah did a fabulous job! Thank you Aaliyah🤗

Hannah was amazing! She was super friendly and did a great job, we didn't have enough time to do the perm I wanted but she was honest and let me know that it would have been rushed. So I'm scheduling back to let her do it!! ❤️
