I have been going to Empire once a week to for years to have my hair done. Before 2021 was colored once a month and then washed n dried weekly inbetween. After 2021 just washed n blow dried as let my hair go natural color. Had an occasion cut here and there. The students are all A+++ and I let them blow dry it out anyway they want and always left Empire with a great style and look and always compliments when I get home from my Husband and Friends. I give them a ten as each student has been taught to perfection.

I have been coming to Empire for facials for years, but this week I had a wedding, so I scheduled hair and makeup. Such a great experience! Katherine made me gorgeous as a fun, supportive crew of seasoned pros gave expert advice. The whole room was in on the process, giving props for the looks created. Such a community. Empire Prov is my favorite place on earth!

I had a full foil highlights done at Empire Beauty School and couldn’t be happier with the results! Asia was the student who did my highlights, and it was actually her first time doing a full foil. You’d never know it, she did an incredible job! My hair is very thick and long, so it was a big task that took about four hours. Asia stayed calm, focused, and professional the entire time. She was guided by two amazing instructors, Anthony and Erin, who were extremely knowledgeable and supportive. They gave clear, helpful feedback while letting Asia take the lead and really shine. The results were stunning, my highlights came out bright, natural, and beautifully blended. I’m so impressed with the level of care and skill from both the student and the instructors. Highly recommend Empire Beauty School if you’re considering a service.
