TY Empire Beauty School!!! My stylist on Tuesday was Ashley❣️I am so pleased with the way I was treated and how for the first time anywhere someone listened!!! I tried 4 different times this past year to get a salon to do what I wanted! $300 dollars and higher later I was just ok and not loving my hairstyle and color. Well now!! Ladies and Gentlemen if you want a relaxing and easy going experience? With folks who really care how you feel, let alone how you look?!! Then The Empire Beauty School is the place to go!! Sure I knew my kind of color on my roots was a permanent color and I added highlights! I also know it takes my hair longer to lift! (Be smart learn your information from your hairdresser)! Armed with this information and my own idea of what I have been trying to achieve? I was pleasantly surprised as they listen! They ask questions! They care and the teachers there are so talented and sweet! Teaching as I watch and see the students really working hard to pass tests to complete assignments and ready and eager to wait on clientele❣️ Mr Honeycutt was simply a pure joy❣️ As was Ms. Hess !! Please go online look at the prices and then experience the talent! I am so Happy I did!!! I will be back as we have plans to shake things up for me and I know I can get my roots done my highlights and felt so confident that I really walked in the right place!!! I get what I want here without feeling like I was told what I want❣️❤️🌹 Plus they have you come in two days ahead of time to do a test to see if your allergic to the product they use in hair color!!! Wow! Just Wow! TY all again❣️ What a great team of future stylists❣️ just a quick update! I kee going back❣️❣️❣️❣️They really care and help so much! Thank you for the pool recommendations! I am coming in soon I love the color!!! I go back n forth in color but always complimented highly! It’s a great feeling! Sincerely, Rose Slobodzian

Had a great experience. Aisha listened and did exactly what my daughter requested and the instructor was supervising the entire process. It did take a while but it cost less than a 3rd of a professional salon with a better result! If you have time, I highly recommend.

Went in needing a pick me up, and left feeling great! Thank you to Kaitlyn for the amazing deep scalp conditioning/massage, facial, styling my hair and waxing my eyebrows! I will be back for sure.
