Alex was so very professional, kind, patient and courteous. She made me feel so valued as a client. Alex took her time to make sure I was satisfied with my service. I was involved in a mission challenge and the local church volunteers gave me a reverse mohawk and colored my hair with multiple colors as a reward to the kids and families raising over $7000 for global missions in Africa. Alex helped graciously correct my mission challenge reward with better looking results after she was done. Not much hair which was out of her control but the color was pretty much taken care of. Thanks so much Alex for your attention to detail. May God bless you.

Last year I had a mishap with a boxed colour…. Someone changed the colour inside the box… I know “should have checked the box” , which typically I do. My hair went RED!!! Ugh! So Ive lived with it until 2 months ago. I found Lillian at Empire Beauty School. I wanted to go back to my blonde, and she started the process, doing highlights. I went back today and had Lillian continue her magic!! And what a wizard she is!!! My hair is GORGEOUS!!! You’ve only a couple months left on your journey at Empire and ready to start a new chapter in your life. Best of luck where ever you go, spread your magic you’re truly amazing!!!

Erika is that girlie pop! I had the absolute pleasure of getting a spa manicure from her today, and she nailed it—literally and figuratively. She was gentle, detail-oriented, and made the whole experience feel so relaxing and pampering. My hands have never looked (or felt) this good. If you’re looking for someone who brings both skill and good vibes to the table, Erika’s your girl. 10/10, would book again in a heartbeat!
