I wanted an affordable silk press for the holidays and Kianna from Empire Beauty School delivered. It has been about nine years since I came to this location. They currently offer nail services and hair services such as perms, color services, silk presses, loc retwists, roller sets, sew ins , natural braids, natural twists and shampoo and blow dry. This location offers walk ins for services every other Saturday, so you should call in the day before to ensure that students are available for services. The pricing has been updated but is still very budget friendly. A silk press is $35 (or $45 if you add on a deep conditioning service). It is the luck of the draw that will determine your student stylist, but you can request a stylist if you like how they've done your hair. You just need to know their schedule. From my understanding as of December 2025, they offer services Tuesday through Friday from 9 AM to 12 PM and in the evening from 5 to 7:30 PM and they offer services from 9 AM to 12:30 PM on rotating Saturdays. They accept walk-ins only which is great for those who want to spontaneously come and get a style. Early arrival is recommended because of that system and services being dependent on student stylist availability. Remember this is a Hair school, so part of their day is focused on instruction or practice of certain skills and then they also get to practice on real clients that walk in. Based on my recent experience and my experiences in the past, I think you can't go wrong with a simple service such as a silk press or a shampoo and condition, especially for the price point.

Had the best experience last night with Keanna! This was my first time having services done at Empire and I was in desperate need of a hair cut. Keanna was so kind, paid attention to detail and took the time to explain everything she was doing. She recommended a hair mask because of how dry my hair was and WOW what a difference it made. If I’m being honest, I felt more taken care of and treated like a valued customer here than any other salon I’ve been too paying the big bucks! I can’t wait to come back and see Keanna again! 😊
