I have had really had experience with other stylist, but from the first time I went for a hair cut and a treatment. I was treated with professionalism and kindness. I used to suffer from severe dandruff and dryness.With the hair treatments and deep shampooing, the dandruff and itching is gone. It's a nice place to be, healthy environment, family friendly and they are all very kind and pleasant. Prices are very reasonable and affortable. I absolutely recommend everyone to Empire Beauty School, the students are Great and they know what they are doing. You can totally trust them with their services. I highly recommend Genesis (one of the Student) she will go out and beyond to help you 👌 She is the Best!!!!
