Empire Beauty School must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis since the students are constantly revolving, of course, but today I received an excellent cut and color from RiRi. She helped me choose the right auburn colors for my (sadly) gray roots and the rest of my hair and gave me a lovely cut. I am very pleased. She also has a fun personality and is easy to talk to. I will not be able to afford RiRi when she's finds herself at a salon and can command top dollar, but she will deserve it. Book her while you can! Shout outs to the delightful Ashley who assisted and Miss Gigi who oversees the students and is absolutely charming. Listen, you're not always going to get the most talented student, but for the price, you have to be willing to be a guinea pig. And today I felt like I got a true professional haircut and color.
