Shawn gave me a great professional haircut. His ability to make his customers comfortable was very apparent, even for the ones before me. 5/5 would recommend
René was my barber. Nice guy, but DO NOT let him touch your hair, especially your beard. I wanted to trim my beard, he butchered it. Its short, and very uneven. Shaved my head, and left patches of longer hair. I could have done all that myself, for free. Hey, but at least I got a free comb! Youd be better off doing it yourself, that way you have no one else to blame but yourself when its as messed up as mine looks. Would not recommend to anyone.
Best barber in the area. I was tired of paying for a weak cut from some body who doesnt care.... then I found Empyre. Matthews passion is cutting hair and it shows in his work and his shop. He Took his time fading me up and the whole staff treats you with all the respect you deserve. Aloha shop is brand new and looks fantastic, all white with black trim and hip hop memorabilia on the walls. The price is definitely worth the experience.
Empyre is a professional barber shop that does exceptional quality haircuts/fades. “How can we serve you” is there slogan and it couldn’t be more accurate. I noticed a few bad reviews on here and was shocked. One bad experience is not a representation of the barbershop.
Waste of time. I scheduled a cut for 3pm. Walk in at 2:45 as requested per the appointment. Rene said hes running 20 mins late. I chose to wait since all the review are so good. The time is now 4pm and hes still currently working on the same guy. Now his 4pm appointment is here and having to wait. Dont waste your time!
Im fairly introverted myself so going into new business as a stranger gives me minor social anxiety. These guys were very welcoming and made the whole vibe comfortable for me to socialize with them while Teresa did an awesome job on my fade.Im not mad at it, but the only criticism I have to offer is that my appointment was pushed back 20 minutes.I was told that they will clean your neck up in between cuts. If they deliver on that with working me in on time I could easily give this place 5 stars.
Friendly staff, attention to detail, great prices for the quality of work thats done. Would definitely go back.
This is a great place! Amanda is AMAZING, its so hard to find a good barber for my son, and he loves her work! Everyone there is so nice and polite, definitely recommend them to every one looking for a barber! 🙌❤️
10/10 Great atmosphere, friendly staff, I got a straight razor shave and a haircut that my wife absolutely loves. Highly recommend and will be coming back.
This is the spot, online booked my appointment with Teresa and received a quality cut. The employees here take the time to make sure you are happy. Highly recommend. This place almost 5 star for a reason.
Looks like a few barbers here can blaze a cut. But what’s the point of an appointment if you can’t keep it. Also 30$ for a decent cut on my 4 year olds a bit much especially when it’s just ok..... welll edit a few hours later and they refunded my money so they are willing to stand by their work. There were a few really skilled barbers in there and since he didn’t hesitate to refund a benji I’ll definitely be back to give em another shot.
After years in the area surrounding Portland, Ive found a few good places with a few good people, but St. B blows them all out of the water. Personable, easy going, easy to talk too, and a great cut and beard trim to go with it. The first barber Ive ever said Just do whatever you think is best and not had any concern with what the result would be. Absolutely the best cut you can get at any cost. And then you see the price and it feels even better. Come here, let St. B go to town, be happy with the result.
Cassandra is a gem and always makes me look good!
Awesome people, great vibe and very welcoming. Very clean and sanitary, following all the Covid Guidelines. One of the best haircuts I ever got, definitely recommend for anybody of any age. This place will definitely be my go to spot from now on.
Always the best atmosphere!! Teresa is the best!! Always leave her chair with a confidence boost!! Best barbershop in the PNW!!!
I made a appointment and waited 40 extra minutes. Why book a appointment when they make you wait?
Showed up on time and made me wait 45 mins, now it’s my turn and messed up my fade big time. Asked for low fade with combover and got a Mohawk and the line up was awful and not even on both sides.
NEVER EVER AGAIN!! Hands down WORST haircut I EVER had.
Great location! Always clean, love the online interface for making an appointment vs having to call or show up and wait. The team here is VERY attentive to Covid precautions to keep folks safe. Best music selection of any haircut place Ive been to in my nearly 40 years of getting haircuts. Appreciate their willingness to take on my quarantine overgrown mop earlier this summer 🤣
Best place to go, you can make your appointment online and select who you want. Highly recommend
Very clean and good looking work. Thanks for the great haircut.
One of the better haircuts Ive gotten.
Great place! Awesome cuts! I’m automatically booked every week.
One of the best haircuts Ive had in a while. Usually i just take some Whal clippers and hit a 1 all the way across. Teresa took care of me 100%. Plus you get to hear some old school while getting cut up.
If you want a reliable haircut, this is the spot. I’ve had my hair cut by multiple barbers here and I always leave happy. It’s nice to go somewhere and know you are in good hands. This js definitely “the spot”.
Like many people, I grew out my beard and hair while staying in home quarantining. My barber SaintB hooked me up with a clean haircut and gave me a lot of recommendations on how I should trim/style my beard. I will definitely be back!
Maria is a highly skilled veteran of the hair styling game. Shes really enjoyable to converse with and does a fantastic job. I just found my new spot I will continue to go too! Love the hip hop vibe and atmosphere there! This joint is legit!
6/3/21 Amanda did a wicked sweet job on my cut, very clean and she actually paid attention to the customer needs .
Great atmosphere, amazing people. I get my hair cut and beard trimmed by Matthew. He is the only barber around that I will go to. No matter how far I live.
Just messed up my hair for 30 bucks ain’t worth it honestly for what they did to me I shouldn’t of even have to payed
Am a regular, so I love it.
Friend staff, good music, great haircut! Easy to make an appointment online. I will definitely go back. Thanks B!
Best barber shop in Oregon your guaranteed a fresh haircut 💈👍👍👍👍👍
I’ve been going to Star for a little under a year. I wanted to give myself some time before I reviewed because I’ve had barbers and hair stylists in the past who have been great at first and then their quality of work goes down. I’ve also been watching how other barbers in this shop cut and they all are very detail oriented. EMPYRE continues to do amazing work. I’ve also watched the owner provide awesome support to the barbers around him. I’ve heard references of cutting black hair as an art-form, which I whole heartedly agree with. Star is an incredible barber who also happens to be a really nice person. My son will be having his first hair cut with Star and I trust her skills. As a person of color it can be hard to find safe spaces in this community, and I can say I actually feel safe here. It’s also really wonderful to feel so welcomed. This shop is an asset to this community and I’m so grateful I found it. Keep up the amazing work, you guys are rocking it! Finding competent people who can cut black hair is rough in the burbs, but it’s not an issue for my son and I now.
Always amazing fades and great conversations!! Extremely clean & sanitized!! Overall experience is always... So Fresh & so Clean!!!
Been coming to Empyre for over a year, specifically to SaintB. Always happy with the cut and conversation, and the atmosphere is awesome.
I had the pleasure of getting the chance to come back into town and get my hair clipped by Behenia. Best barber ever. Clean lines, expert service, and amazing personality. Will return again, even if it means flying up from my hometown of San Francisco, California.
Thank you Teresa Ruiz for an amazing haircut. The focus and attention to detail at Empyre Barbers by all the staff is beyond what I have seen or experienced anywhere else. Teresa not only gave me a fantastic haircut, but her genuinely positive attitude and overall niceness was much appreciated. I highly recommend visiting Empyre as I am sure you will agree it is top shelf in every aspect.
Congratulations to bringing #babatez on board
Great group of people, really good prices for the quality of the haircut, clean shop. Highly recommended barber shop.
My new shop! I loved it here! Honestly didn’t wanna leave. Matt decided to renovate the whole place and it looks great! The barbers there were hilarious and relatable. Just book an appointment online and show up! Thanks, Teresa!!
I love this shop. I first saw Cassandra here and she is on point. Great hair cut really quick. She is super friendly and professional, asking all the expected questions ahead of time. After that I had to get a cut but she wasnt available so I went to whoever is free. I have done that twice now and not been disappointed. They have a clean shop and are always friendly. You cannot go wrong getting your hair cut here. They also all do a really clean High Skin Fade.
Hands down a 10 from service to customer service Matt and his crew holds it down. Sperry killed my cut def took care of my young ones appreciate there service!
The barber Amanda texted my personal cellphone her cash app scan code and pretty much demanded I pay her $30 because a emergency happened, with a rental car and instead of being understanding tried to pressure me to send her money, so I blocked her and will never be returning here nor my husband.
Sooooo glad I found this place! I’d been struggling to find a good barber for a couple years, but then I found Saint B... she has consistently given me the best haircuts I’ve ever had. Saint B take the time to be extremely thorough, understanding my hair and head shape, and pays attention to the smallest of details. Even more importantly, she is a spectacular human being and I enjoy our visit every time I come in... she’s a one of a kind, awesome person! Every time I leave Empyre I feel good, look good, and get mad compliments! I’ll never go anywhere else. Thanks Saint B!😎👊🏻
Man, Ive been searching for a good barber since I moved here, a year n a half ago, and not only did Miss. Amanda do an outstanding job but da atmosphere n dat place was very down to earth n relaxing. Thanks for da awesome experience!! May God bless u all!!!
Cassandra does an amazing job. The atmosphere there is fun. Every will shoot the breeze with each other while youre in there. Its like a good old fashioned barber shop. If youre looking for an amazing haircut with great prices Id go here.
Awesome stylists with good atmosphere!
Got a cut with Jake, gave me a real clean haircut, has the best fade game i have ever seen, Had a great conversation he’s upfront honest and cares about his customers. If you get a cut here i highly suggest a cut with Jake or Matt It cost a little more but definitely worth it. Also really cool interesting people and a positive environment 10/10
I had the same barber for three years, and got a haircut every other week. Once I moved to Beaverton, and tried a few different barbers, I was worried I wouldn’t find another shop like my old one. Leaving Empyre today, I feel like I’ve found my new shop. Great staff, very friendly, best prices in the area. I would recommend this place to anyone in need of a haircut. The only negative I’d have is the parking, it’s in a bit of a small lot. But overall, 10/10. Superb job guys.
Jake cut my hair for the first time yesterday, (my current barber is on vacation for the next 3 months) and Jake did an incredible job! We got along so well, we discussed my hair strategy, play by play and ended up with a win! Ill definitely see Jake for the next few months and might make a permanent switch. THANKS JAKE! And thank you to everyone else who was super welcoming and I noticed other clients in the chairs with amazing hair cuts and fades.
Matthew and his staff are great! Always a good experience. Not to mention you get a amazing haircut and beard trim or cut. Just an excellent place
Great place offering great cuts. Matthew gave an awesome haircut.
I just love it hair. So friendly and the cut is fresh and clean.
Star was great! My 1 1/2 year old son has Autism and she was so patient with him and did a great job. I highly recommend her for children’s haircuts. Laid back environment. Owner is awesome. You don’t feel like just another person walking into a Barber shop, you feel like one of the homies 😁😁😁
Very happy with outcome
They squeezed me in at 5pm EASTER Sunday unreal
Just had my beard trimmed up here and Ill be back. Very pleased with the shop all around.
Great environment, welcoming, clean place with A LOT of talent! Always leave more than satisfied with my haircut! Doesn’t get much better than this! Also better prices than other barbershops I’ve been to
Mathew and his staff at EMPYRE are hands down some of the best Barbers around. My family has been coming to him for over 8 years and we will continue to come to him at EMPYRE! This shop has an old school feel with a clean, warm and positive environment, you feel like part of the family every time you come in. I live in San Diego and make a point to come a get cut with Mathew or his staff every time Im home.
Have been a client of the owner for about a year. When I heard he opened his own shop I had to check it out. The vibe is awesome, the store looks great, I was blown away. Loved the haircut I got and will continue to go back. For my busy work life style, I love being able to book all my cuts ahead of time as well!
Best hair cuts.
Iam very particular on who cuts my hair. Twice have I been to empyre and both times I left with an amazing haircut for a really reasonable price. Why does two times matter? Because the first time I booked with Cassandra, the second time (accidentally thinking the same it was the same person) I booked with Amanda. Both ladies absolutely killed it. Talent in every booth. I wont go anywhere else.
Staff was awesome, great haircut and very clean
When you walk into this place, the welcoming feeling you get is amazing. You can tell they genuinely care about the people they are doing the haircuts on. The staff is very friendly, the shop looks great, the pricing is perfect and best of all: the haircuts are great!Ill definitely be coming back and telling my friends and family about Empyre Barbers! Ive already sent one of my friends there today!Thanks guys for taking care of us!
I really wanted to give this place 5 stars, but being a walk-in I had a long wait.Tip: book your time on their website.I will definitely be back to this inviting and top notch barbershop. The wait and the price($25) was worth one of the best cuts Ive ever had.
Amazing barbers and friendly/fun group. Come on in!
Great staff. Booked online and it was on time. Great offer fresh haircut. New shop and these guys are good. Owner was there cutting hair as well. 5 stars hope the do well and expand.
Empyre Barbers is excellent! After having my wife cut my hair for the past 8 years or so, I decided to switch it up and go to a barbershop. I researched quite a few and ended up going to Empyre. Im glad I did. I was a bit nervous at first considering I had been doing the same thing for so long but everyone was really welcoming and Matthew did a great job. Ive been stopping in (scheduling online only takes about 2 minutes) every two to three weeks now for a few months and its always a good time. Friendly staff, clean shop, great cut. I highly recommend this place. You wont be disappointed!
My fiancé Kyle has been going to a certain barber shop for awhile now and service was great until he left after his haircut one day and they left hair all over his neck, now has found empyre barbers and has never been any happier with the haircut and service he was provided. Best customer service and best haircuts this is the place to be.
Great haircuts and friendly staff. They provide masks if you dont have one that is suitable for getting your hair cut in.
If I could give this place 10 stars I would! Cassandra is awesome and this environment can’t be topped! Best cut I have had in a long time.
I always get a cut from Matt. He knows how to cut my type of hair when no one else in town does and he remembers all his clients and whats going on in their life. This reminds me of being back in LA getting cuts out there
Passionate Barber with over 10 years of experience. He takes the time to get to know you and willing to share his story. Made me feel at home and I feel like I have finally found My Barber. This place is quality. Also, cares for us vets too!
Best barbers around! Hands down treat you like family!
I’ve gone to Matthew when he was in Hillsboro. He and his associates are top notch - quality, service and personality. Worth the drive through the country side. Always feel great when I come outta there.
Good atmosphere and reasonable rates. Easy to book appointments and they have skilled barbers. Make sure you know detailedly what you want done, and look out for the often near-full parking lot.
Matt has been cutting my hair for years and is a very professional barber with the tools and skills to match. Very nice well kept an upscale establishment highly recommended. Bowtie red was very good as well she cut my sons hair and me and my family were greeted with respect at the door. Great experience always going to EMPYRE BARBERS 💈
Old fashion service, excellent results every time. They work hard to make you happy with your haircut. Second to none.!
Best place around. My boys love the owner and how he cuts their hair. We travel 40 min round trip just so empyre can cut their hair. Thank you for the great cuts that make my boys look so good.
Recently follow BowTie Red from another salon that took me 5 minutes round trip. Now it is 30 minutes one way, and I am happy to make the drive. She is an amazing person who makes sitting in a chair an experience not just something that you got to get done every few weeks. The shop has that old barber feel. Conversations, joking, and advice. If you are tired of the number system and are an, enjoy the moments kind of person. Give it a try, I think you’ll like it!
What a legit shop!! Cuts are dialed, staff is waaaaaaaay cool and finally in the burbs we got a spot to get great fades and cuts. All types of clientele. Old n young there is a stylist for everyone.Xile
Great service, best haircut Ive gotten in a long time
Starr is amazing! She gives younger full attention and does a great job. I would refer anyone to her!
It took me so many years to find a great place to get a haircut and Empyre Barbers are the Best.
Dope fades and Good Ppl, Not even a cop can beat that..
Legitimately the best haircuts in town. Modern and classic styles. HIGHLY RECCOMEND this shop!I love the ability to book online
BowTieRed is the best barber at the shop. She will give you the style you are looking for, and is very professional and friendly. I highly recommend you schedule an appointment with her.
Great place and great cut! First time going and will be back! Was able to get a much needed cut, on a Friday, without an original appointment. BowTieRed set me up right! Everyone was friendly and welcoming. And it wasnt a forced or fake type of interaction; they care and have a passion for what they do. Veterans discount!
Good place for a haircut, Highly recommend bowtie. She takes her time for your perfect haircut. Always ask if shes going in the right direction for your haircut.
You cant get any better than Jake Sperry! He does it right, Every time, and if you change your mind, he will do whatever you ask without the slightest hint of displeasure. He has been cutting my sons and my hair for several years, now. His eye is impeccable and he his shears and clipper skills are amazing! I would not think of going anywhere else. Empyre Barbers is a great place to be. Everyone is so welcoming and Matt is at the healm if a very classy establishment.Their rates are very reasonable and the location is easy to get to. Parking is never an issue, either. I hope and trust that Empyre will be around for a Very long time! Sperry, Matt & All; thank you so much for everything you do for your clients!From your very happy customers, Kara & Kenneth
Star cut my hair today and it was awesome. She used to cut my hair a few years ago and when she left that job I started bouncing around. I recently had the worst cut of my life at a different shop, it isn’t all fixed yet but Star got me looking respectable again. I will obviously be back.
Dr. TJ Vanidestine, Chiropractor.Star Lawson has been incredible! I have been trusting her with my hair cuts and lineups over the past few months. Star is professional, light hearted, and extremely skilled at what she does! Whether youre looking for a quiet relaxing cut or a conversational cut, Star is willing to accommodate. I would highly recommend you reach out to Star at Empyre Barbers for your next cut or lineup!
BowTieRed the barber always hooks it up. The freshest lineup and cuts. Highly recommend this local business and the barbers at this shop.
1st Time.. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE..FADES EVEN BETTER..STAR did exactly what I asked for .Definitely will be seeing her again. ♥️
Don’t mess around with going somewhere else thinking you’re gonna get a good cut or get your beard trimmed up just right. Matthew and the staff at Empyre Barbers are hands down the best. Everyone else is just gonna mess you’re fade up, and ruin your perfectly grown beard and you’ll end up at Empyre looking for a professional to fix someone else’s hack job.
Since graduating college and moving back home I’ve needed to find a new barber. I’ve found just that at Empyre Barbers with Red. After the first time at the shop, my mom saw what she had done and made my dad schedule an appointment with Red because moms wanted him to look as good as I did.If you want a great cut and great experience with an old school meets new school vibe at a relatively competitive price point, give your neighborhood Empyre Barbers a shot👌🏻
