Ms. Kiara did a great job on my daughter’s hair. She came through right on time! My daughter is transitioning from months of wearing boho braids, to her natural hair. Ms. Kiara took good care of her: from wash, to condition, to trim, to natural style…she handled it all. No complaints here! We will definitely be back Empire!

I had the pleasure of being serviced by Emani T. today for a wash and blow-dry. I was referred by a dear friend who praised Emani for being thorough and gentle—and she was absolutely right! Emani was kind, professional, and incredibly attentive throughout the entire process. I had quite a bit of buildup from constantly being on the go, but she took her time and thoroughly cleaned my hair. She gently massaged my scalp and treated my hair with so much care. The pricing was very reasonable, but her level of service was so exceptional that I made sure she was well taken care of. I’ll definitely be recommending her to others, and I’ll be back on my next lazy hair day 😊. Keep up the amazing work, Emani!

The service was great. The stylist was friendly and professional. They gave me the products for my hair and the advice on how to maintain it. The atmosphere was amazing. This place is highly recommended. Toni (Antoinette) was more than professional, she was phenomenal.
