I called to schedule an appointment to " 🎼🎡 Wash That Grey Right Out of My Hair 🎢" I was fortunate to get an appointment for the next day. Realize I had a patch test done at an earlier date. I met Angie and her instructor. We had a short consultation, and they fully understood my concerns with color, because I have long natural red hair, and I wanted my natural color to be matched and brought back to life. Angie did a wonderful job. She worked confidently under the watchful eye of Mr. Robert. The color came out beautiful, shiny and silky smooth. I don't think this photo does it justice. I wet my hair to show my mom that I still had a lot of wave because it was blowed dried and straightened when I got home. Extra Bonus: ALL hair care products are on sale this month, so I purchased special shampoo and conditioner to help preserve my color. I also bought some Easter basket gifts for my daughter, who is also a red head. THANK YOU Empire, Mr. Robert, and Angie. Keep up the great work! I'll see you again! LaVon

I've literally never been happier with my hair. That being said Kristen did an amazing job. Back in October I saw her for a cut, we did a patch test (it was free) to make sure I didn't have any reactions to the developer, because I had mentioned that I wanted to dye my hair. Well, it took me a while to decide on my final look, but Wednesday I finally got the nerve to go back to get my "fun colors". I knew I wanted vibrant colors, but not so much it was obnoxious. This was the first time I'd ever gotten anything but "natural" colors. She matched my natural as we did grey coverage, (they were bad 🫣) while she'd bleached the underside of my hair. Because of the time constraints of night school, I returned the next day, yesterday, and we completed the vibrants. We went with two colors, that she mixed perfectly to achieve the shade of blue and purple I wanted. Throughout the entire process her instructor Dan checked in on us and asked me how I felt the process was going. When I told him how comfortable she had made me and answered every question I had, he praised her, and then he went to help others with their clients. I walked in with the colors I had dreamed of in mind, showed her my inspo pic and she nailed it. The schools salon pricing is a fraction of a high end salon with the same outcome. I will definitely be following my new hair stylist after she graduates. Before and after photos with a video of the outcome.

My first professional haircut in years and it was with Ashleigh at Empire Beauty!! Absolutely loved my experience with her cut, and she shared so many tips with me about products to use on my hair type. Would love to work with Ashleigh again :) and will easily refer my friends and family to her!
