My experience enrolling at Empire Beauty School was amazing! The entire process was smooth and stress-free, and everyone I encountered was so helpful, kind, and welcoming. They made sure I felt comfortable, answered my questions, and guided me through each step of the enrollment process. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed with open arms and supported in taking this next step toward my future. I truly appreciate how friendly and encouraging everyone was, and I’m excited to begin this new journey at Empire Beauty School. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to start their beauty education!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an amazing experience getting my hair done at the beauty school! My stylist Lovely, did an AMAZING job on my wash, retwist, and style. I was a little skeptical at first, but she definitely rocked it! She exceeded my expectations, and my hair came out beautiful. My style was perfect, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. She really did her thing, and I’m so glad I gave her a chance! I would definitely recommend her services. Thank you Lovely, for making my hair look so good! 💕✨

I was very pleased with the service I received on three visits. I explained what I was interested in and I was happy with the outcome. Upon my arrival, I received a warm welcome from the front desk. After checking in, I was seated in the waiting room, and the stylist came shortly thereafter to receive me. Last week I went in for a roller set and style. Ms. Karma was my stylist. I was very pleased with the end results. She was personable, knowledgeable and professional. She also shared tips that were helpful. Ms. Karma had a willingness to please attitude and stayed focused and explained what she was doing throughout my experience to ensure that she met my needs. I booked the following week with Karma for color, a roller set and style. Initially I was skeptical about using chemicals. I explained my expectations. Ms. Karma was open to my input. I was extremely pleased and received compliments afterwards from strangers outside of the School. I will continue to use Karla. On prior visits in 2025, both of the stylists were good and were graduating. In addition, the manager/Director, Ms. Dee checked in periodically to check and make sure all was going well. Some of the other students nearby engaged in our conversation. I enjoyed our conversation with the young students near by. I am grateful to the service received by Ms. Karma and the warm welcome. I left a “TIP” for Ms. Karma to show my appreciation for the great service she provided. 🙂
