As a 4C hair textured girlie I was on the hunt for anyone that can handle coily and textured hair with care. Looking at the prices the school offered for services, I was a bit skeptical. I thought this sounds a bit too good to be true, or the idea of students doing your hair.... how will it turn out. I am here to say book that appointment! The salon is clean, the staff is knowledgeable, educates ones on hair care, super personable, friendly and puts one at ease. "Mrs Dee" that oversees the students is a true gem, but most importantly I want to shout out the star of a cosmetologist that did my hair, "Kyanni", she did an absolute amazing job on my hair which included a scalp treatment + blow out/trim + braids + crochet hair style. She gave me the exact look I wanted, at one quick picture glance reference. She is a delight and extends wonderful client customer service and I will surely be referring her to others. Lastly, another cosmetologist want to highlight is "Isa" another super sweet one as well, that extended great advice, assistance and a warm smile! This is long review but when you get good service you want to let others know, I look forward to trying this school/salon again for more styles.

Chloe is an absolute sweetheart and Ms. Dee is such an amazing instructor! This was my first time here and when I walked in I was immediately greeted and checked in for my appointment. Chloe went over all the details for my appointment, we looked over pictures and she got the feedback from Ms. Dee the instructor, who really helped assist with the color process before we started. I had one color in mind and with the help of Chloe and Ms. Dee I was able to make an educated decision on my color selection. I can’t say enough great things about the hardworking staff at Empire Beauty! I will be retuning on Friday and will update my review with pictures!
