Had my hair done by Ayana today she did a fantastic job! I needed to hide some of the purple tones in my hair and got a beautiful coppery-red. Unfortunately, I didn’t budget enough time and had to bolt before my hair was dry.(I would definitely recommend saving 5+ hours if you have thick hair.) Well worth the price.Thank you! Ayana and Empire Beauty School. I will be back when I have more time!
Empire Beauty School is top tier! The educators teach very in depth and show many different ways to learn different topics. The staff is patient, kind, and SO uplifting! No corners are cut around here, and we keep up to date on all things trending, as well as all old techniques! There is no other place I would have wanted to get my education. I have learned everything from professional communication skills to real life scenarios in the cosmetology field! If you’re considering enrolling here, I say do it and begin creating your dream life now!
The students do not do a good job at all. You ask for one thing and come out with another. They are not being train well on different texture of hair. We are paying our money to the program. We should at least get a good job done on our nails, feet, face and hair etc. Most of them are graduated and still dont know a lot at all. They have to either know already or learn on their own.
Today I went in and had my hair done by Danielle J., she was so nice and coming my hair was not a problem for her. I had net had my hair combed in 3 weeks and it was so bad, she was so delicate I could barely feel her detangling . After we went to just defusing and she did a great job bringing out my natural curl. Oh and a nice trim of my undercut, I’m glad someone was able to FADE it for me. GREAT PLACE TO GO!!!! 💛 PLUS IT WAS ONLY 20$!!!!!!!
I looked at several schools before deciding on Empire Beauty School. As a soon to be graduate, I am happy with my decision. I learned more than I imagined I would & I like that they are nationally accredited as well as on top of financial aid. The staff go above & beyond to motivate, inspire confidence & keep things interesting. Whenever I came to the educators with my many questions/ideas, they welcomed and/or entertained them & would help me find solutions or encourage experimentation.The staff have their unique strengths & work together to support each other and the students. Thank you!
Rissa at this location is AMAZING. She listens to your needs and is so professional. Her work is great, takes her time to make sure it is done well, and has great interpersonal skills. I will gladly be seeing Rissa wherever she goes after she graduates. Thank you for making me feel beautiful through my hair and nails!!!!
Today I got my nails at Empire beauty school and I am very pleased with the results. The student who was going my nails was Destinee k. She was very professional and talked to me during the whole service which I like! I’m very pleased and will most definitely be going back!
Karissa is an excellent person to work with. I’ve never dyed my hair before, but she assisted me in choosing a color that would suit me well and applied it very evenly. I have never gotten more compliments on my hair, and I look in the mirror and love it too! She is also a great stylist and nail artist. I love when she curls my hair, and my toes have stayed pretty for over a month!! Amazing work, Karissa.
Linda did a great job on my nails! She also gave my scalp a wonderful peppermint treatment. The cooling sensation was fabulous! The scalp massage she gave me just made the experience so much better. Did I mention the tight curls she gave me at the end?! I feel like I got a perm haha. Loved it! My hair feels fantastic. I highly recommend Empire for your next services. Save yourself a little cash & help the students get some experience!
I had a pretty decent experience! I worked with Romeo who is actually going to school to become a barber and was asked to flat iron my hair. He was a bit nervous at first and rightfully so, hes a barber. Not to mention, I am a black queen with thick lucious hair! And I mean extra THICK since I am currently expecting my first child. But he took on the challenge and did a decent job. I left with straight hair and overall a good experience. We had good convo and everything. Congrats again on your future graduation young man!!
I had an amazing experience with the student that did my pedicure! I would recommend anyone who is looking to save money and still get a great service to visit this school!
Such a wonderful school and a wonderful group to be with. I’m close to graduating and it’s been such a great time being here!
I got my hair done by Laura Signore and I was so happy with it! I’m so used to going places that just never quite do what I want done but Laura was amazing! She asked lots of questions, clarified what I wanted done and also made great conversation. Also did my families hair and turned out just as great!
I went for a cut and color about two weeks ago. I had SUCH a positive experience. Laura was so accommodating and professional! I had a vague idea of what I wanted - and she absolutely delivered beyond expectations!I got so many compliments and I told them all where I went and to make sure they got Laura!
Happy friendly bright environment! The staff and students were all very welcoming upon entering the building. The stylists were very passionate and attentive about what they were doing. There was a sense of excitement and eagerness to learn and apply. That in itself speaks volumes on how the educators teach and interact with their students. The pricing is fair and the service was great. I highly recommend the school for those wanting to go into the cosmetology world, and I encourage all of us that love to have new styles, colors or perms done to stop by the school and be models for these students.
The enrollment experience at empire was great for me . The career planning specialist and director went into great depth about the courses they offered and made sure it was a smooth and easy experience to get signed up. The school was very clean and organized and the students seemed to love their environment. I know I will love it here and recommend this location to anyone looking to further their career in cosmetology.
I got my hair cut and dyed by Laura! The entire experience was awesome! She was very personable and made the experience memorable! I would definitely recommend her again and the school in general!
I have had beauty and spa services done at Empire in GR two times now within a month.A very sweet, talented young lady, Karissa M. is the student who waited on me.Not only was she professional, kind, and talented, her Supervisor shared with me that she is a team player, always willing to go the extra mile to help behind the scenes at the busy school.Thank you Karissa and Empire.
Amazing experience!!!! I went in to get a perm treatment. They did a test strand and determined it wasnt good for my hair and instead of turning me away like other places have. They figured out a plan to get my hair back to the health it should be! Definitely going to continue to go back!
Karissa is a great example of your school. She is so kind and funny. She makes sure to make you feel comfortable and welcome while doing a great job! 10/10 would recommend this school and 100/100 recommend Karissa she is FANTASTIC!!!
Romeo did an excellent job on my pedicure!! Loved every minute. He was very personable and friendly. I will be back to see him!!! Thank you so much!
As a student, Ive never had such good mentors who are so passionate about education without any bias. The instructors are so kind and patient with all of the knowledge and willingness to share what they know. It doesnt matter obstacle is presented, everyone seems to pull together to find solutions. As a client, my services have been so on point, and anything Ive wanted to experience has come true. From a scalp massage, to a color correction, the entire group here has made it happen with so much relaxation. I have zero worries when I enter the doors here in any scenario, whether Im coming here to learn or coming to get pampered, I know Im in fantastic hands.
Stephanie did a great job touching up my roots and then giving me a conditioning treatment.. great experience I will be back :)
I attended Empire Beauty School and it was a great experience, honestly I don’t regret coming here. Very professional!
Going to Empire was one of the best things I could have done to help reach some of my career goals. The staff/teachers is amazing. The Enrolling specialist goes above and beyond to help meet your needs so that you can start your career right away. Any questions I had during the enrolling process or even after starting school I was able to get answered right away. Each staff member plays an important role during your time at empire.
I absolutely love my school! I’m glad I choose to take the step to enroll at Empire. Everyone here is willing to help you in any way. Taking the time to learn about all of the other things this school has to offer makes my options feel endless. Enrolling was the best thing I could of done. I can’t wait to finish school and further my career and I have Empire to thank for that.
Al is so wonderful, this is the best hair color Ive ever had done, I absolutely LOVE it! My hair usually is a pain due to it being so naturally dark, but Al managed to get it all lightened the first time. Im so happy with my hair I cant stop staring at it and playing with it.
Amazing! Rozzlon bleached my roots last week and did a phenomenal job. The hair was even throughout the roots and it was so soft afterwards too! She was very professional and I had a great time talking with her the entire time. The time simply flew by, like chatting with a friend. Highly recommend her and this school for your salon needs. I plan on going back when I am in need of a salon again. 🥰
I have gone to Empire Beauty School for several services. Nails, haircuts, color, updo, and eyebrow waxing. I was very impressed at how the students at the school took time with me to make sure they understood what I wanted to have done. They were very professional. It was easy to get in for services. The atmosphere was great. The students seemed happy and very eager to please the customer. Instructors were always available to make sure the student’s questions were answered. The price cannot be beat. I would recommend Empire Beauty School to anyone looking for professional services at an affordable cost.
Absolutely love it here! The atmosphere is fantastic, positive and uplifting!! All the instructors are so willing to help and Ms. Seibert will even teach you how to make a TikTok or two! 🤗 I’m convinced there is no other school that’s so easy to adapt to and absolutely fall in love with!! Be sure to follow her on TikTok for more fun dances by yours truly!😂
Laura Signore does an AMAZING and PROFESSIONAL job! She makes sure you get exactly as you want! I always recommend her to all of my friends! If you need something done go to Laura. You will not regret it!
Ms. Seibert did an awesome job coaching my friend Laura as she cut my hair. Wonderful personality and made me feel taken care of. Laura did an awesome job on my fade and I’m glad I was able to be a canvas for her to practice on. I’ll definitely return. Thank you so much!!!
Rissa is awesome. She always takes the time to get to know her customers and listen to what they are envisioning. She takes pride in her work and that shines through and creates a great environment and some happy customers!
Laura Signore made my hair fabulous! Since I am curly haired I am often wary going to salons, but she treated my hair with so much care and attention that I felt I had a HUGE confident boost walking out. 10/10 would recommend.
Amazing experience, as always! Romeo set me up with a BEAUTIFUL balayage. Romeo and the rest of the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. 10/10 recommend!
Laura Signore did my hair and my daughters hair. We both got some beautiful highlights. She goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable.
Laura Signore did my hair and let me tell you, she did absolutely amazing. Even though it was a quick trim and then hair dye, it was done excpetionally well. The color turned out exactly how I wanted and the haircut turned out just the same. Will be going back foir more hair appointments in the future
I’m a student at this campus and I absolutely love it! Everyone is so welcoming and everyone is like one big family. You learn a lot of things and the school prepares you for a fabulous, professional career in cosmetology.
Got my hair done by Rissa today, best hair job I’ve ever had done! Go in and ask for her! I will definitely be back
Rissa cut, colored and styled my hair beautifully! Easily the best haircut I’ve ever had and I look forward to coming back again soon ❤️
So impressed that this was your second day on the floor!!! Your knowledge, confidence, with your amazing customerservice youlll go far in this industry!! My nails look great, you were quick too! Cant wait for my next appointment with you.
Laura Signore is absolutely amazing! She is very personable and professional. After going to her I won’t be going anywhere else!
I didn’t spend much time at the campus because of covid. Once we returned I finally got a chance to meet the teachers in person, and my classmates. Everyone I’ve worked with are exceptional people. Very nice, and will teach you what you want to learn. The instructors worked with us before State board to take the stress off, and to make it feel like the real thing. That I appreciated. If you want to go get educated, I do recommend Empire on Apline!
I had my hair cut by Karissa Mansfield and she did a great job! Great conversationalist and great skills with the scissors!
Karissa Mansfield is amazing very sweet and creative I highly recommend this place & visit her she’s like another daughter to me & her doing hair make up and nails totally amazes me....
I had Rissa as my stylist and she was absolutely amazing. Best hair stylist ever, definitely will be coming back.
The school is beautiful and the staff are so helpful and welcoming. Great atmosphere !
Amazing customer service. Sharaine cuts my son’s hair and always does an amazing job!
I love coming to empire the students are always so positive and happy to work on anything they get put on their plate!!! My curls have never looked fo fierce!!! Highly recommend stopping by and setting an appointment up.
I got my hair done by Laura with a phenomenal coloring a few weeks ago, and I am still over the moon with the results!
I, my daughter and my grand daughter all had our hair cut. I sat with my granddaughter, who is 8 years old, has a hard time holding still, a lady by the name of Dedra did a wonderful job with her kind, understanding and percise. My daughter has a very unusual hair style and her stylist got it perfect, just by the description of the style. I always have my hair up in a pony tail, I decided to try something new. Maybe something short for the summer, so I asked what would look good the suggested a Bob, I had no idea what a Bob was but I decided ok. My stylists name was Jaby and she did a wonderful job. Thank you to all who were involved with our appointments, you did a great job and we will be returning.
Rissa is so professional and so sweet! You can really tell she cares about the work she does by the results and her determined attitude!
Carissa was very nice and gave one of the best haircuts I’ve ever gotten!
I saw Laura at Empire beauty and she did such an amazing job! Highly recommend!
Rissa is the one who cut my hair and she did a great job 10/10
Came in to get my hair curled by Danyale and she did an amazing job on my curls she is so sweet and professional and she makes you feel comfortable.
Will always hold a special time of my life while attending empire. No matter what I was going through or how hard it got for me I always felt like I was being pushed to succeed. The instructors are always attentive. I seriously loved my time at empire even through all the ups and downs it will always be like a place I will go and visit and give my business to.
Rissa is the best! Great mani and so sweet!
Jen Craven cut my hair as well as my sons. She was very professional and passionate about the cut! Will return
Karissa Mansfield did an amazing job on my hair and was very professional.
Karissa was absolutely fantastic on all fronts! Easy 5 🌟!
Karissa did an amazing job, she was very attentive and easy to talk to.
Some of the greatest teachers I’ve ever known!
She was so professional and sweet! 20/10 would come again !! Thanks Rissa
Great Staff and students! The students do an amazing job, and the staff has great knowledge of the industry.
I loved how friendly the environment is, and how professional most of the students are! The instructors are great, very helpful and knowledgeable and that gives a good confidence booster to the students themselves.
Amazing Wonderful Experience. Love it.
The teachers are very attentive to what you need and are always willing to help with anything :)
Wonderful students wonderful teacher’s ❤️❤️
Today I will give negative stars for the worst customer service ever. For sending my daughter home with half of her hair done. They didnt finish her hair because they close at 5pm. We arrived at 1:13pm, they started at 1:25pm, and at 4:58pm she came out half hair curls and half fuzzy/wet hair. We cant finish, we cant stay pass 5pm, and we have to leave. I couldnt believe it. It doesnt matter when you leave, you finish what you started.This is not a class lecture that you can continue anytime at home, This is hands-on work. Can they walk around with half of their hair brushed, half of their teeth clean and half of their clothes washed?! Denfinitely NOT. I hope this is not what they are teaching them. Or they are just doing their own thing.Very disgusted, disappointed. When I tried to explain my concerns, the lady at the front counter was rude. 👎👎👎👎👎.
Great place! Students were friendly, teachers were helpful. Took my son to get a cut and perm and they did a nice job and the price was great. I would definitely go back.
I loved Attending school here! The teachers and staff are super helpful. Empire is like a family there’s no place I rather of chosen. The teachers push you to your hardest. There is so many great opportunities they offer at this school. If you’re struggling with anything they’re always willing to help even if it’s not school related. 😊
My stylist Armani was great! She showed how professional she was and took her techniques very seriously, she took her time and made sure that everything done to my hair was done with 100% effort! I really enjoyed the style I had and I received so many compliments and I was able to brag about the fantastic stylist who did my hair !
I enjoyed my experience here very much. Going to this school has really brought me out of my shell and really helped me find what I’m really interested in with what I want to do for the rest of my life, and has helped me find who I am.
I attended Empire beauty school in order to get my cosmetology license. It’s a great school with amazing educators! As I became closer to graduating they were super helpful on preparing me for my state test and looking for jobs afterwards.
Yciara took her time on my hairstyle. She gave really good communication throughout our appointment. I got really good really good compliments on my hair the next day.
I had a pedicure and the girl was great.She did an exceptional job with the work conditions. Very very limited in choices for color. Also the lighting is horrible for those students to work under. The look is industrial and looks great, but not conducive for work or clients. (Dark). They also do not provide the students with toe spacers or enough chairs. Shame on them..
Asked for 3 inches taken off, they took 6. I didnt really realize how much she took until I got home and was able to look a little closer. My hair is exceptionally long, so it was a little harder to tell at first, but it went from down to my butt to about where my bra band sits on my back. VERY DISAPPOINTING. The shop was also not very clean, there was something sticky on the chair where they wash hair.
Its a very nice school, the teachers work with you every step of the way to make sure that you understand everything and that they know you got it.Highly recommended!!
Decent price, very friendly girls. But awful nail job!! We just wanted a simple, neat manicure, but what we got was completely opposite. We dident have many selection, and nail polish was all over skin!!
Just started school here, i love the environment and the teachers and students, if your interested in cosmetology it’s great come check us out :)
I got my hair curled Friday, early afternoon, for a Saturday wedding out of state. I was helping out the bridal party and unable to get my hair done the day of. I told the student my plan to sleep on it and brush it out the day of for some loose curls. She curled my hair nice tight curls and put in plenty of spritz spray. I brushed my curls out Saturday morning, used some hair oil and was good to go!! They lasted allll day. The curls stayed until Sunday evening when I finally washed my hair. The student did an amazing job on my hair!
First time bringing my son for his school haircut they was very nice and did a great job.
If i knew this school was the way it was before i started i would have never attended here. It is by far the worst experience i have ever had in life nothing will make me happy right now but to finish so i can be done with it being at that school makes me not want to do hair anymore and that’s what i love to do. And being African-American makes it 10 times worse because I’m not able to do half the things they let others do !! I have asked the educator here so many times for their bosses phone number to make a complaint and of course I don’t get it because they want to save themselves ( i feel) it is not equal whatsoever at this location and today was just it for me.
Couldnt be happier with my choice of Cosmetology school! All the educators are amazing!!!
If i could leave 0 stars i would. worst haircut experience I’ve ever had. stylist was leaving every five minutes to ask someone what to do and did not cut my hair ONCE! she was cutting the air to make It seem like she was, there was NO hair on the ground when I was finished (and nobody went around with a broom, so if there was hair It would not have been cleaned up yet). never going back. i went for a simple trim and It lasted well over an hour.
Had a great year here! cant wait for the rest of my life
Very friendly staff and students great place to have a student work on your hair, waxing.
I really enjoy going to this school!!! The instructor program is amazing!
Great environment
No one is here. I drove a ways to come here and online it says theyre open at this time.
Good price for service
Amazing students and cultural experience!
