Empire beauty has been great so far. I start classes September 13,2021 and I’m so excited. I first started looking into empire back in 2018. Since then Renee and the others have helped tremendously. I finally decided back in may I wanted to attend empire and Renee has helped every step of the way with the enrollment process. She’s been right there to answer any questions I or my parents may have. While Renee was on vacation my mom had a few questions and her colleagues called her back right away giving her any help that they could. Cannot wait to work with all them as I start my education and my future.

Emily did such an amazing job on my hair. Her customer service is superb. Every step of the way she made sure I was comfortable which I loved.Daiana did wonders for my makeup. I loved it so much and I would definitely have her do my look again. She made me feel so beautiful and I admire anyone that can transform someone into feeling like a princess.

My experience with Donelly at Empire Beauty School in Providence, RI was amazing. If you need a self care day you should definitely book with her! I received a Back Facial as well as a Face Facial and it was so relaxing and professional. She walks you through everything, making sure you’re comfortable the entire time. Left with my skin glowing feeling brand new. 10/10 would recommend. I will definitely be visiting again.

Danielle (Finishing student) was prompt & greeted herself as soon as we met. She trimmed a good amount of hair off & did a great job at communicating how much I was actually going to take off. I definitely recommend her or any prospective student at Empire Beauty !

I went to the Empire Beauty School Salon for a gel manicure and a pedicure on Saturday. The student who did my nails was very professional and friendly. I felt very comfortable with her and enjoyed making conversation. She was really focused on doing a good job and providing a great experience, and I definitely felt that as I was able to relax and enjoy.Unfortunately, I think she missed a step in doing my gel manicure because less than 2 hours later I noticed pieces of the gel polish missing from my nails. Within 6 hours, I had multiple bare nails where the polish just slid off my nails which Ive never experienced before. At this point I have no gel polish left on my nails which is really disappointing since I was getting a gel manicure to have my nails look nice for a while :( The student put some type of cuticle/nail lotion on my nails and then applied the gel polish right after. I have a feeling she was supposed to have me wash my hands or use an alcohol wipe on my nails prior to applying the gel polish so it could adhere to my nail.Overall, the student made my mani pedi a great experience, and I would have rated this 5 stars if it wasnt for the gel polish falling off less than 24 hours later.

I have come to Empire Beauty School for a few years now and every time I come I get exemplary service. I had Kayla today who did highlighting and a pedicure and both came out fabulous. She was professional, courteous, listened to what I wanted, and did what I asked. I couldn’t be more pleased with the services I received. Excellent job!On another note: Coming here during Covid, everyone was wearing masks, or almost everyone. They were cleaning in between clients. I felt very safe here today.

This place is great! I received a facial and a leg wax from Brianna. Her technique and commitment to a quality and a comfortable experience was definitely prevalent and I could tell that this institution is truly committed to having their students excel.

I had wonderfully relaxing facial with Brianna yesterday and my skin feels better than it has in months. The experience was wonderful from the beginning where I was greeted by a friendly receptionist who started the process right through to the end of the treatment. I was so relaxed that I actually fell asleep. I was told it was a complement to the esthetician. Im looking forward to my next appointment.

Joyal is fantastic to work with! She was completely professional and friendly! I come here every other month or so for a hair wash and cut. Sometimes I also get my eyebrows done too. Each and every time I visit, I come out completely satisfied! On my last visit, Joyal took her time with me, she was great! I highly recommend Empire Beauty School in Providence for all your beauty needs!

I made an appointment to darken my previously bleached hair, and was not disappointed! From the moment my consultation started I knew I was going to leave with the hair color that I wanted! It is not easy going from my blonde color to dark brown, but she walked me through all the steps and turned my hair into the exact color I asked for! Kayla was very knowledgeable, professional, and caring! I highly recommend coming here!

Empire Beauty School gave me the chance to figure out what I passionately wanted to do with my career. I joined this school generally for makeup and nails, but Empire also taught me how to love hair! This program allows you to learn many things when it comes to Cosmetology. I love everything about this school, the teachers and staff are super nice and take their time with the students. Would definitely recommend this school to anyone who is passionate about Beauty and Cosmetology!

I’m so happy I live so close by to Empire Beauty School and they were able to schedule me an appointment the day I called! My hair dresser was Tai who was so sweet and did such a great job with my hair. She gave me a bunch of tips that I appreciate. I also got a chance to meet Miss Lavender who is incredible and you’re lucky if you ever get to meet a woman so vibrant and warm. Price was suuuuper reasonable because you’re getting a haircut from a student, and I enjoyed the atmosphere! Thank you! 💕

My experience at Empire Beauty School was great because of my instructor, Miss Brooke. She would come up with innovative ways to explain some of the material in the book to ensure that we understood everything. She is very kind, and truly cares about the success of her students. I am so happy that I was selected to be in her class.

Today I went to the school to have my hair cut and trimmed I had Makaylaee the stylist who was excellent her knowledge of listening to Miss lavender was spot on. Miss lavender the educator teacher for nominal I highly recommend her staying there and teaching these young girls the knowledge that she has the professional way of her approach is amazing. So I recommend the school I actually made an appointment for a facial had one once before there and it was fantastic I look forward to going back. My choice to have my hair done whether it’s a cut or color facial pedicure manicure is Empire beauty school Providence Rhode Island.

My name is Jeiliann Hernandez & on February 17th, my class and I did the magazine cover. We had so much fun, all of us got together as one and created some beautiful looks. It was definitely a success and I’m super happy that this all worked out. I love my school & I’m super grateful that I started my journey with Empire Beauty school.

Empire Beauty School has served as the gateway in accessing my deepest passions in the beauty industry. My journey to self love and self acceptance with my own beauty was always a struggle for most of my life. Growing up with a physically altering disorder, I always challenged the true concept and definition of beauty. Because of this, it grew an interest in me to exercise different aspects of my life in which I felt beautiful, which translated into hair styling, makeup, skin care and overall health.In 2016, after a medical diagnosis, I ended up losing the vast majority of my hair which devastated me. However, that loss translated into an opportunity to change the lives of others. I decided to leave my original career path and serve as an ambassador for the beauty industry wholeheartedly and make other people feel their most authentic beauty self.Empire Beauty School in Providence was the outlet I used to hone my skills as an stylist and give me the leverage to become a leader in the beauty realm in Providence, RI. It was one of the first times I’m my life that I looked forward to attending school. The education was focused and rich of information. I learned insurmountable techniques and skills from talented educators like Miss Corrie and Miss Diane. The level of professionalism evoked by the leaders of Empire is also something I truly prize and appreciate it. Starting Empire in the height of the pandemic, the administration and staff worked strenuously to make sure everything was safe, organized and efficient to give us very tool needed to succeed here and beyond. The application process was very smooth and peaceful, with the help of Renee who welcomed me with open arms. Empire has become more than a school building for me. It’s a part of my journey and story. It has become a place that I call home. Finally, it’s somewhere I highly recommend if you desire to take your passions seriously and dive into your greater tomorrow.

My experience at empire Beauty School as an esthetic student has been amazing since day one. My instructor Ms.Brooke is awesome, down to earth, and very understanding with real life and school balance she would work with my class completing assignments and making up time. She made my experience easygoing and very enjoyable; not to mention her way of teaching was very fun and what wasn’t understood she would make sure we all as a class understood before moving forward. I am grateful to have had her as my instructor and would definitely recommend her to anyone interested in entering the esthetic program at Empire Beauty School in Providence, RI.

Took the esthetics course with Ms. Brooke and she made my experience here at empire very enjoyable. It was a pleasure to have her as a teacher as she is very knowledgable in the field and made class interesting and fun as there is lots of book work in the beginning. I enjoyed all of the hands on experience I recieved. I feel prepared and cant wait to start my journey as an esthetician.

I have nothing but praise for the Empire Beauty School in Providence. The teachers and instructors are ready to help their students and clients in anyway they can. Its a wonderful place with reasonable prices to have your hair done. Their program teaches the students to be creative and well rounded. I have had my hair done there for several years and sent many of my friends there. Treat yourself and try out this full service school/salon.

I dont know how anyone could give this place a bad review. I get my hair permed here for only $30. Ive never had the same person twice which I thought would bother me, but everyone is well taught! Today I had Hayley. Yes, it took hours to get the perm. However, it again was $30versus the $70 I used to pay. Her and I had fun talking and laughing. Great experience as always. 😁

Best experience of my life, was at a cross road where I couldn’t figure out what I wanted to do with my life and this school awakened a passion inside of me I never knew I had . They were supportive every step of my crazy life and believed in me . After finishing school I still had a family, and finished and just got my cosmetology license today, would highly recommend for your cosmetology or esthetician dreams and goals .

Review №81

I would recommend that you not go here. I just wanted a quick trim and thought Id try it out. I called to make sure they were still open and had openings (I was going there with 2 other people and I let them know that). Before I could even finish asking if there were openings, the lady who answered the phone cut me off saying that they only do walk-ins. When I went in, they asked if I made an appointment. When I told the lady at the front about my conversation on the phone, she deliberately gave me an attitude saying OH. I guess three people are getting their haircuts now. But long story short, one of the people I was with was not old enough to sign the release form for herself. When the lady found this out she gave my even more attitude and dirty looks. I said never mind and walked out. She was VERY RUDE and had a SUPER GHETTO ATTITUDE. No thanks.
