I had such an amazing experience at Empire Beauty School! I went in for a keratin treatment and honestly couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and professional, and it truly felt like being in a real salon. Ms. Simmons was the instructor, and she was absolutely excellent. She made sure everything was done correctly and took her time checking on the students and clients. You can really tell she cares about both the learning process and customer satisfaction. Reigna (Rain) did my hair and she was awesome! She was fast, gentle, and very professional, and she made me feel comfortable the entire time. My hair came out beautiful, smooth, and exactly how I wanted it. The service was quick but never felt rushed. I also had so much fun while I was there. The vibe was great, everyone was friendly, and it was just an overall positive experience. It was truly a 10/10 and felt just like going to a high-end salon, but with great energy and great people. I would definitely recommend Empire Beauty School to anyone looking for quality service at a great price. I’ll for sure be coming back!
