Empire beauty School was one more wonderful experience. The ladies at the front desk were very professional and so friendly. My stylist Miss Tia went over and beyond. I got my hair washed three times and a beautiful cool water felt so good to my scalp. I got a finger wave it was done really nice and looking forward to next week's hairstyle.

I went in for just a tour and interview, and the energy from the staff was so amazing. From beginning to end they were so helpful and knowledgeable. It was more than a tour, it felt like home.
