Very friendly place. Great for manicures, pedicures and perms. The prices are very reasonable.

As a student at empire i feel as though its only right to tell the truth. empire is chaos. they have rules that they will only apply to the students they dont like. ive witnessed staff bully students to the point where the students break and leave. i myself have experienced unfair treatment at empire. i think all the higher ups in staff are very ignorant and rude. especially ms nickel the way she treats her employees is even worse. i havent learned a single thing here other then how to braid. i came for makeup, we were doing hair in the makeup curriculum. & towards the end of my education here they decided to add a whole bunch of new rules, that again only apply to certain students. i recommend doing more research before choosing empire. i had a great personal experience with most of the staff there, but not educational. and the students were amazing as long as you dont start drama.

Mrs Stacy is one of the sweetest people I have ever met, and she is so extremely helpful. While getting enrolled she was able to explain all my payments and fasfa information so easily so I could understand it. Any situation you are in she is able to help. The way she greets everyone everyday, and asks how everyone is, and still gets all of her work done everyday, she is so great at what she does.
