Recent graduate of Empire Beauty School in Peekskill. I had an absolute blast during my time there! The teachers are incredible and very attentive. They helped me find a job at a local salon so I could start straight after graduation. Was able to take my State Board within 2 weeks after graduating and am already licensed! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a school to attend or even to get your hair done. The girls there are diligent and love what they do. Shoutout to Kim for her incredible blowouts!

From the start of my service Stefany introduced herself and asked what I was looking to do with my hair. She listened intently and confirmed my needs. She shampooed my hair with extreme care. Upon starting the cut she had intense concentration and continued to consult her teacher numerous times to check her progress. She showed concern about the accuracy of the cut. Upon completion I couldn’t have been more pleased with my cut. Stefany showed great care and concern for my needs. I believe she will make a great hairstylist as she takes the time and attention to her customer.
