Reviews of Empire Beauty School

Sophia Kuipa

I really wanted to love my manicure and gel nails but unfortunately 4 of my gel nails have already chipped and peeled off despite me getting them done just yesterday. :( I know it is a school but I was hoping for gel to at least last one week. That being said, everyone was very kind and friendly so 5 stars for that!

Kathleen Accinno

I had cut my hair myself and screwed it up pretty good but Vanessa is amazing! She is thorough in every detail. She brought my hair by to life with a deep conditioning treatment. And she gave me the cutest cut. I receive compliments everywhere I go! Thank you, Vanessa!

Juanita

Messia was my stylist and she was amazing. I came in for a shampoo, conditioner, trim, and blow dry. She recommended some great products for me as well as my niece. And she gave me some great tips to keep my natural 4C hair healthy. The trim was absolutely perfect. I'm sad that she'll be graduating next month. She has a really bright future ahead of her.

Regina Miranda

Mrs. Morgan is Amazing with her skills and talent. Today I came in as a Demo and all of her students watched from beginning until the end. Mrs. Morgan explained steps and tips as she danced around the crown of my head. That’s what it seemed like she is just so flawless. Very professional and to the point. The service that was provided was as if so was in a five star salon not a school! I should have taken a photo once done. But I got distracted because she wanted to make sure she wrapped my hair . The weather would just destroy what was just created . Again the care and professionalism ❤️🙂 Regina Miranda

Quan Quan Nguyen

Went in to get a blunt cut with face framing pieces and was unexpectedly very satisfied with my service. Cissa G. cut my hair and she was GREAT and very personable - made sure to double check with me as she was cutting and asked if I had shampoo preferences. The only thing I’d advise is to plan to stay there longer than you would for a regular haircut because they’re students so it might not be as quick.

Nikki Hightower

I've updated this rating and review to reflect both of my visits. At my first visit, I was very satisfied since the student did a great job with my coils, trying a new style with care and grace. The next time, I booked an appointment with the same person. I decided to get a style which required heat for my natural hair. Unfortunately, gentle treatment of my natural hair with appropriate heat use could be improved upon.

Alessandra Krejci-Papa

I had a great experience getting my hair done by Marissa! She had a wonderful attitude and was very professional. I appreciated how attentive she was to making sure I was happy with the results. I would definitely recommend Marissa to anyone who needs their hair done!

Angela Izi Nkusi

Today was my first time at Empire beauty school, and I had an incredible experience. Anisa gave me a big chop, bleached my hair, and styled it perfectly. She treated my hair with tenderness and care, and explained in detail what she was about to do every step of the way. The staff is also really warm, friendly, and professional. Highly recommend and definitely coming back!!

Bernice Broyde

I am a very happy client of empire beauty school. My stylist today was Diamond. She transformed my curls and gave me the best haircut ever. All of their cutting and coloring services are beyond excellent.

Natalie D'Ambra

Shalya was my hair stylist and she did an incredible job! Not only was she kind and professional but I was extremely happy with my finished hair. She offered recommendations specific to my hair condition and overall was a great stylist. Thank you Shayla!

Cindy Lin

I loved my experience and would totally go back! Andrea and one of her instructors, Ms. Lourenco, did a balayage and haircut for me. It took several hours and they were so patient and sweet. It also turned out so well and all for an amazing price, even after tip. So many people compliment my hair every time they see me and it is all thanks to their hard work. Everyone should visit before the location closes in June!

Abas Bilal

Miancy Did my braids and it really came out awesome She’s one of the greatest talented young Woman and she’s really good at what she do.

Samara Peters

I have come several times. The most recent visit was with Analys. She did an excellent job with my hair color, cut and styling. So thorough and careful with my hair. I really appreciated her meticulous work. Update: 20JUL2023 Brought my daughter for colorwork on her hair. Vanessa did a fantastic job with her long hair--no damage and a vibrant color. Still recommend the work done here!

Doris

I made an appointment for a stylist who was not able to make it to the appointment. Tenisha to the rescue! I wanted a twist updo for natural hair. She did a superb job. She gave me what I asked for and she was very caring and attentive. Quality plus affordable prices. Can't beat that.

Susan Keane

Just had my hair done by Makita And I was extremely happy. Makita went out of her way to make my hair look beautiful! She is also very, very nice.Miss Force the manager was incredibly helpful and welcoming!

gabby gym

Makita did the most amazing job cutting, drying and styling my hair! She is incredibly professional, kind, and talented and I would recommend her to absolutely anyone.

Aramis Reyes

This was trully an amazing and exiting experience. I’m glad I let myself be practice towards someone future. Marissa treated me as a friend and I felt right at home.

asha cave- white

Tenisha was professional attentive and have great conversation. She did what most could not, with my strange hairline. I am pleased.

Libby Ho

Marissa was amazing! She was very professional and attentive the whole time and gave me a great haircut. All the staff there are super friendly, but Marissa in particular was just so cheerful and welcoming. I had some great conversations with her, and time flew by! Overall, a wonderful haircut and a wonderful experience! You really can’t beat the quality and price anywhere!

Gloria Vasquez

From the moment I walked in to the moment I left, everyone treated me with kindness. My hairstylist, Danielle was awesome. I came out not only looking like a new person but I also felt beautiful with my new look. She listens, she creates, she’s talented, and she works magic. She made sure I felt comfortable the whole time. She deserves ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!!!! Before and after pictures proves her work is amazing!!!!!

Evie Jnb

I went into Empire to get a wash and blow-dry, and I was paired with a lovely stylist named Ezra. She introduced herself and asked what I wanted to get done. She explained all the steps to what she was going to do and what she was going to use. She asked if I had any products in my hair. I explained to her I did, and I just recently took my braids out.. She made me feel welcomed and comfortable. We had great conversations throughout the process. She definitely understood the assignment. Thank you, Ezra, for styling me.. I wish you prosperity and happiness in your future as a stylist!!! ❤❤

Kathleen Wall

ALWAYS excellent service!! Never had a bad experience here & they are ALWAYS pleasant. You get the exact same service as a salon only at cost ! So if you're getting say your hair dyed then you only pay for the dye. I got a full foil & paid $65. at a salon it would have been close to $200. I have long hair so it cost more for product. The 4 hrs it took her to do it then blow dry & style it doesn't cost extra!! Unlike salons the charge you for EVERYTHING!! I've been going here for yrs & NEVER EVER NOT ONLY have I had a bad experience & THEY DON'T HAVE THE SNOOTY ATTITUDE EITHER 😉

Kate C

Great experience here! Booking was easy and it’s located in a very convenient location. Emily gave me a trim and it was fabulous. She was very friendly and gave advice on products and best hair practices. Also told me what she was doing as she cut. My hair feels a lot a lighter and looks great. Highly recommend empire beauty school to anyone looking for hair services- I haven’t tried the nail or skin services but they offer those too.

Nikiya Rivera

I went in last month for a cut and blow out. I was blessed to be match with miss Carla. Her enthusiasm for natural curls and amiable personality put me right at ease. Carla understood and honored my request for a dry cut. Which brought the bounce back to my curls. The blow out was the icing on the cake. Giving me a whole new look. I walked out of that session a confident lady. I'm so grateful for that appointment with Carla.

Taylor Mcelroy

Maria was my hairstylist. She did an amazing job from start to end. She took her time to understand my hair's health as well as what I was looking for. Every step of the process, she made me feel very comfortable. Maria hands down were AMAZING!! Best experience in a long time.

Natalie Borsky

I had a phenomenal experience with Lily! They were very friendly and professional throughout my entire cut! If you are queer and/or non-binary, and are looking for an amazing queer/non-binary stylist you should definitely book with them! I am very happy with my result and will definitely come back again! :-)

Sarah McClain

I went in for a short haircut and was so happy with the whole experience! The student, Ezra, did a fantastic job with the haircut and shampoo/conditioning! She was very attentive and made sure to deliver on what I asked for. It was also such a fun and supportive environment to be in and both the students and the instructor, Ms. Morgan, were amazing! I would definitely recommend checking them out and I’ll be coming back!

Lambros Chrones

I had great experience getting a clipper cut at Empire Beauty School. Everyone, from the front desk to my stylist, Lily, was welcoming and professional. You would never imagine that this was a school and not a high end salon. Lily listened and was very attentive give to what I wanted. I could not be happier with the results! Book with Lily for pleasant and detail-oriented service.

Maddie

Major s/o Danielle who gave me my first haircut in over a year. My hair feels and looks so much healthier! She also gave me tips on how to maintain healthier hair and product recommendations. Please help out these students! They work so hard and need to get a certain amount of clients to be able to graduate. Every time I’ve been here I’ve been happy with the service :)

alonzo work

I got to have Lilly cut my hair and they were absolutely amazing. I had the best service I’ve ever had and absolutely love the way I feel. They made sure I was comfortable the entire time and I’m so glad I got to have them cut my hair. Also 10/10 recommend getting to chit chat with them, it’s so much fun!

Eve C

I went to Empire for a keratin treatment. I was scheduled with Ezra. Ezra gave me a consultation and listened to everything I said about what was going on with my hair. She explained all the steps as she proceeded. She was gentle yet effective with the way she washed my hair and detangled. I wasn't planning on cutting my hair, but after her reasoning for the cut, I was comfortable to proceed. My hair came out beautiful. Ezra made the long process enjoyable with lots of conversation and laughs. She has a great spirit and passion for hair!

Celina Gomes-Santos

Maria was my hairstylist, she did an amazing job, the first time was a trim and the second time was a natural look. She took the time to scrub my head, which felt so wonderful, and took the time to tell me about my hair Health. Someone who able to educate me and do my hair is an experience that I never had. You can tell when someone is passionate about something they love to do. I would choose Maria every time, keep up the good work.

Olga K

I have been coming to Empire for 6 years and Tiffany Diaz is my favorite by far. Very professional and attentive, and enthusiastic. Best blow dry ever! We had great conversations! Tiffany made me try all of your offers and I came back for spa facial, pedicure and manicure for the first time in 6 years. And all of it was top notch.That's how great she was. Students like her make me keep coming back to Empire. Tiffany seems very serious about becoming professional cosmetologist and I wish her best of luck!

Lauren Kageler

Nazaly did an amazing job with my hair and was a great stylist to talk to as well. I went in unsure of what I wanted and after a discussion she did partial foil and a gloss. It came out so well and I am so happy with the results. Would definitely recommend her!

Gina Joseph

Aliyah did such a wonderful job on my nails and is so kind! Vanessa did a wonderful job on my sister’s nails too! Both of them walked us through the process and answered all our questions! Everyone there was also so great and accommodating and I would definitely recommend checking them out!

Mallory Holmes

Everything about my experiences here have been great! I went in for a nail appointment and then came back a few days later for a partial foil and cut. Lily services both appointment and did such a good job. The color was exactly what we were looking for.. very natural looking blonde. Lily was so professional, personable, and detail-oriented. I look forward to coming back- hopefully before Lily graduates!

Lizzie Doles

Very fun experience with great new stylist! She listened to what I wanted and offered great ideas for me to get just the right haircut. All The staff very friendly! Highly recommend 🤩 …

Alison Huber

Tiffany did an excellent job on my nails. She was professional and friendly; we had an enjoyable conversation which made the manicure time go quickly. The reception staff was also polite, friendly, and efficient. I would happily recommend Empire Beauty School to anyone.

Short story long B

Kayla the stylist was absolutely amazing, she was so gentle, kind and focused which I appreciated a lot. Ms. Jean was the icing on the cake that guided the exactly look I came in for, definitely will be back for Kayla and Ms.Gene, I hope you appreciated them as much as I do!

Sunei Clarke

I got my hair deep conditioned, blow-dried, and styled by Shanice today. I will be back! The staff was patient and friendly. My hairstylist was keen to detail and very neat. She made me feel very comfortable, and I was not afraid to ask any questions. I received quality care and overall superb service; thank you.

Sydney Rose Davis

Went in for a perm and Renee was so friendly and welcoming. She explained everything that she was doing and I felt so comfortable. Loved how it turned out. Thank you so much!

Julie G

Emily had great color and cutting skills with adventurous travel and life tales and personal hair color to match. I appreciated every moment in the chair and sink! Thanks, Emily!

Will Ch

One of the instructors sat next to me while I was getting a haircut and kept saying anemia. I think she was trying to say I was skinny.

Elaine Yuan

Lindsey is awesome haircut stylist! I highly recommend to her excellent stylist for hair cut!

Sabrina Shing

The moment I walked in, the students greeted me with a smile! They are very friendly and they seem to be a family. The workers seem very supportive with their staff! I had shanice A and she was very friendly. She was flexible about what hair style I wanted and was excited to do the process! I appreciate the hard work they all put in.

Amanda Hill

Shayre did an amazing job coloring my hair. It was my first time going red and I absolutely loved it!! She also blow dryer my hair fast and efficient. I got a lot of compliments and I highly recommend her services!

Marie-Antoinette Carr

I had an awesome time with my stylist Maria yesterday. My hair came out perfect! She delivered far past my expectations, and I will be going back requesting her as my stylist. I've been going to Empire for years, and it's nice to see some of the same instructors on the floor.

Veronica Walsh

Today was my first time coming here, I was in desperate need of a haircut and I left so happy!! I'm not the type of person to leave reviews but I had such a great experience that I needed to share. My stylist Ashley was so kind and cool and has a great eye for what would work well on me. Great attention to detail, focused, passionate, and professional. The environment is very welcoming and I would highly recommend going in!

M Price

Shanice is Great!!! Understatement, she AMAZING!! She made me feel very comfortable about my hair when I first walked in ! She did two strand twist in my hair and did an amazing Job !! Go to her now!!

Sophie Feldman

I got a great haircut and blow dry from Kayla. Very well done and professional!

Jordana Goodman

Excellent work by marissa! I asked for a short cut and streaks and she did a great job. It took a while, but I’d rather her take the time to get it right. She did a great job and learned how important it is to use a diffuser on curly hair! Anything she didn’t know about, she asked and it turned out great. I’m excited to go back again in a few months.

Shawna Gedick

I have been seeing Danielle for my hair since she started here at empire! since the first time she did my hair I was so amazed by her work I just knew I was going to stick with Danielle for future needs. She was extremely welcoming and professional. She has done everything to my hair from black and blue hair to blonde then silver and now purple she has really gone above and beyond to meet the expectations and keeping my hair extremely healthy in the process. Danielle is sure to let her clients know what is best for their hair. she really has done it all when it comes to my hair!! I highly recommend her for your hair needs! I left a few images below! ALSO give her hair page a follow on Instagram to see her other amazing work! daniibeauty_

Veronique S

Ezra was amazing. She was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. My hair was in a vulnerable state after taking out my locs after 2 years! Ezra treated my hair with care and made recommendations to treat my hair.

Kyra Grimes

I had the most gorgeous and professional quality haircut done by Nazaly Ruiz. She did my layers perfectly and the salon had such great energy! Would highly recommend her and the salon.

Diana Albano

They do a great job . Jameel woody did such a great job cutting my hair . I love it come out great . She was just so nice and cheerful too. I will definitely go back again it was my first time there.

Dorothy McNeil

I had a very good experience yesterday after a year away. Everyone was polite and courteous to me. I had a cut and shampoo by Emily (she did a great job)! I had a short wait time and I was a walk-in too!

Danny

Marie gave me my first perm here under the guidance of her wonderful teachers. I absolutely love how it looks, and just the experience given by the friendly staff alone is worth the experience!

Cheryl Aikins

Simia is amazing and so are all the stylists! I felt extremely welcomed at this salon. Everyone there is professional and knowledgeable, I look forward to returning for my next trim!

Lisa Jones-Brinkley

I am soooooo thankful that Boston’s Empire Beauty Salon is finally open again!!! I have not had a decent keratin treatment since it closed due to the pandemic! I have hair again today thanks to the wonderful and talented hands of student Shayla, and the always expert instruction from her amazing instructor Mrs Morgan! This place is the best kept secret around. My hair always looks and feels gorgeous after a visit to this salon. Because students are learning, it may take slightly longer, but you are insured under the eagle eyes and very competent hands of instructors, that students produce perfect results as they learn. I have really missed this place!! I highly recommend you give it a try!!

Debra James

Thank You to Empire Beauty School Students and faculty for all you do for us. Congratulations to all the 🎓 Graduates this month 🙌🏾 Great Job ❤️ A Special Thanks to the Stylist who did my Retwist and the Stylist who did my Mom's Retwist Awesome job well done, love it 💝👑 See you after Graduation for my next Retwist 😘 …

Thomas Wandborg

Shanice was awesome! She really cared about my preferences for hair style while also giving great advice and suggestions. The result was a haircut I am very happy with and a super experience overall!

Marie Kalisa

I had a wash/blowout/silk press/trim appointment with Aida C today. I have 4C hair and this was one of the best salon experiences I've ever had. She was gentle with my natural hair and also gave me a lot of tips on how to care for my hair at home as I'm trying to grow it out. The teachers and other students were very friendly and professional as well. Such a relaxing environment. I have never been more happy with a trim and would highly reccomend booking with Aida C. I know I'll be going back atleast monthly.

Flora Tang

The stylist Tamara and Jessica treated my girls really good! Their haircuts were really good! Mrs. Morgan was really pleasant and gave us really good suggestions! Mrs. Morgan assisted along the way and they were all really professional ! The quality of the haircut is definitely A+!!

Jay Alic

This girl that did my sons hair (simia) was amazing. She Honestly took her time and went above and boyond. She deserves a huge chain of hair salons. I told her she can do it. Great energy and customer service…wow

Krysten Fernandez

I want to shout out Jessica, who just braided my hair earlier this week. I came in knowing I wanted to get braids but with 0 vision or reference pics (bad client) and Jessica was SO PATIENT and HELPFUL in talking through what kind of design I wanted for my desired "look". She thoroughly washed my hair, checked in frequently, braided quickly but not too tight and offered a lovely balance of conversation while also letting me relax/chill. Love my new look & so grateful to her. Overall, excellent braider & stylist- highly recommend her. FIVE STARS!!!

Mary-Margaret Napolitano

Miancy IS THE BEST. BEST SCALP TREATMENT EVER. She took her time, and extra scratch during the wash with Moisturizing Shampoo and Peppermint, Aloe.

Tori Wong

This was my first time to Empire and I will definitely be back! The stylist I worked with, Tashayla was amazing! I went for a haircut and eyebrow wax and was so impressed with how professional all the student stylists were (especially considering the majority of their education happened during COVID lockdowns). Tashayla’s scalp massage during the shampoo was one of the best I’ve ever had, I nearly fell asleep in the chair! The educator salon manager, Mrs. Morgan was just the right level of attentive and available to assist the stylists when needed. I felt well cared for and love my new look!

David Leighton

Had such an amazing experience! I always get nervous getting my hair cut somewhere new but my hair dresser (ask for Nazaly) took great care of me! Will def being going back, especially for how cheap it is! Thanks y’all!

Laura Lara

*Updated* I just keep coming back to this place and recommending it to my friends because of the quality of work and affordable prices. This time Ashely Arellano did my haircut and she did an excellent job! Added to that she was super sweet and attentive to my needs. Rasanjah Bradford and her instructors did a great job with my hair. I showed them a photo of the haircut that I had in mind and they took care of the rest. Before starting they did an assessment of my hair and made sure I wasn't allergic to any products. Then, Rasanjahy did my haircut and hair style with guidance of her instructors. They all were very kind, , and attentive to my needs at all times. I highly recommend the services at Empite Beauty School.

Sylvia Cirino

Lily was AMAZING! Friendly, kind and professional. I got a facial done and it was relaxing plus she added a little bonus relaxing music. Definitely coming back. 💛 …

Gina Ruiz

I love makita did my hair ! Very profesional and nice lady

Jessica Viera

I have been going there off and on for over a decade. No matter the Students they have always been professional, understanding and fun people. I have gotten due jobs, Multiservice treatments as well as getting my daughters hair braided. The Teaching staff is attentive to both the students and the clients. I had a long and arduous hair job that took hours and these people were fabulous every step of the way. Fully explaining why certain things were needed and never once did I feel out of the loop or ignored. Just be sure to respect them regardless of them being students or not. They aren’t getting paid for taking such excellent care of your hair so TIP THEM! THEY DESERVE IT! Lizmary R.O. My blue and purple color hair style is beautiful and I can’t thank you enough for your patience with everything done with my hair. You are MVP!

Zachary C

Went for a men’s haircut and was incredibly happy with my experience. The student, Ashley, did a fantastic job with preparation, shampoo, and conditioning. The instructor, Ms. Morgan, was a master at her craft. Great experience! Check them out.

Sumaya Ahmed

Lily was so helpful and great person she has recommended me the product my hair needs and educated me about the product and very lovely I will definitely come back I had a great experience! I would definitely recommend to everyone! Thank you girl!! Very friendly people!!

Laydeetea Aurora

I have been to Empire twice and both times have been excellent! I will continue to come back here. The students are caring and accommodating. Not to mention smart! 🧡🧡 …

keldon liverpool liverpool

I brought my 5 year old daughter to empire beauty school today for a treatment and braids, she had Maria Gomes as her stylist. Maria was the definition of Professional. She made my daughter feel comfortable and safe with her to do her hair. She described Maria as “pretty great!!!” When I asked her afterwards about her experience. Her hair style was amazing and my daughter loved it. We both left happy!!! I would definitely go again and request Maria Gomes as my stylist. Thank again Maria 😊😊😊😊

Marsha Grant

I went to empire on 1-12-22 and 1-26-22 my stylist. LizMary did a wonderful job with the service she provided I received. A Keratin treatment and a demi color and they both look great. Thanks

Deqa Abdi

The hairstylist, Emily, was sooo nice and she complimented my hair. She worked moisturizing my scale and trimmed all of my deep ends. She flat ironed my hair perfectly. 😊 …

Johanna

Saw people posting about it on Reddit so decided to try it out and I loved it! My hair stylist was Ashley and she was so nice, patient, and super chill to talk to. I absolutely loved my haircut and the way they treated me!😇 …

Juliet Jeremiah

I was at Empire beauty school 2 weeks ago and met the passionate and the future reliable friendly hair stylist Miancy..she made me feel beautiful again and gave me hope to grow my hair naturally ! You Go Miancy !

Styley Wyley

I absolutely love this place! Very clean, great environment, t-accessible, very affordable, and very reputable. My stylist, Tamara, was very professional, very sweet (and funny), and hooked my hair UP!! My new "go-to" salon, and would absolutely recommend this place to anyone who needs great hair care, hands down... 5 stars⭐

John O

Expectations from a beauty school were not high, but I soon became impressed with the caliber and professionalism of the student (Leah) and her “mentor” (Mrs Morgan). The styling on my hair is second to none (and I’ve had a few coiffures done in my 70+ years, so I know what’s what in the hair department). Thanks, Empire - Job Well Done! And best of luck, Leah B.

Enzo Prado

I had a WONDERFUL perm experience with hairstylist Daniela Bernard! I’ve gone to multiple different beauty schools under different companies and have seen many hairdressers struggle with putting in rods and the overall process of a perm. But, Daniel was SO detail oriented, kind, and made sure every last strand of hair was perfectly in its place. There were hairs some even I thought were impossible but she did them! Good job Empire, I hope everyone at the school follows Daniel’s fantastic example!

Jessica Robinson

Mrs Morgan is an awesome Salon Educator. She makes sure that everyone is comfortable and on top of their work. She communicates very well with her students and clients. Working under her wings you are most definitely likely to graduate at your best and with the knowledge of Cosmetology. I love her and she is like a second mom.

foxy hunter

She was a sweetheart I love my hair so much thank u Charlene

Laura Potter

Went in to get my ponytail cut off to donate for a wig. They did a great job and are very friendly. Would definitely recommend Jatay Gomes. Her supervisor was also engaging

Leah Misano

I went in for my first ever perm, and Lily did such an amazing job! Long process, but I had such a blast chatting with them throughout the day!!

Cait Meyer

I just went in for a haircut— Jessica and Mrs. Morgan were absolutely incredible! This is honestly the best cut I’ve gotten in years. I couldn’t be more thrilled and I’m going back in later this week to get my hair dyed :-) Thank you for excellent service!

Mira Goksel

I had a great time with Lily! They gave me the best haircut that I have ever gotten and I felt so safe and listened to :) yayyyy

Janice Cole

Tiffany was exceptional . She.was very thorough and careful to make it as well. as.she.did. I was extremely happy with the finished result. Definitely would recommend her .!!! .

Shuhana Noor

They did a great job on my hair! Love the way it came out! My stylist Uniquew and Ms. Morgan did an amazing job, would go back to them any day! Great service :)

Kristin Hauser

I got a great haircut for only $11! I don't mind going to schools at all (everyone has to learn sometime!), and Empire was great. Francesca was professional and took her time to make sure my cut was right. The instructors were courteous and encouraging of the student (I have been other places where instructors are nice to customers and horrible to students). Beauty schools do take a bit longer than standard salons because the students need to make sure they are doing everything right, so I'm not sure what all the comments on here are about them being 'too slow'. I would rather them take their time and do a great job, like they did!

Aliyah middleton coren

Shianne is best I have ever had I my name came in with no confidence and she gave me what I wanted and give me a whole new hairstyle very happy with it and definitely appreciate it and will always will return Black girl magic

Quinn Rei

Thank you Cissa! You were extremely thoughtful and gentle, which resulted in a stunning cut. Ready to take on the work force again. A glimmer of hope was created for me this afternoon; I move into my new apartment tomorrow, after 4+ years of homelessness.

Ndj Heja

Lily was such a sweetheart ! She was so easy to conversate to, made me smile, and entertained me the whole service. She was very precise and patient, and exceeded my expectations !!!

Jordan Malkoff

Great hair cut! They do mens hair here too! Stylist was very attentive to ensure I got exactly what I wanted; low fade, hard part, into a comb over. Will come back

Teresa Coyne

I had the best experience today. I had the best hair coloring with Makita. She’s amazing book with her!!!!!

Nayantara Mehta

Amazing place. Makita gave me a great haircut!

Carmela Ebrada

This whole school is great! With the help of mrs. morgan, lizmary did my hair color and shadow roots and it was absolutely wonderful! Leonela did my curls (blow out) and it was out of this world. Everything about this place, the teacher and students they are all good and professional! :))

Natalie VanDusen

Front desk staff was awesome. They were friendly and honest. It took a bit longer than at a normal salon (I got a longer bob with layers), but the stylist was very precise. The product she used on my hair was so amazing I bought it. Very reasonable price for shampoo, cut, dry and product. I will definitely go back.

Amen Sam

It’s been a pleasure to get my education at Empire Beauty School. I am very grateful for teachers like Mr. Legge who is such a reliable, responsible - most knowledgeable just amazing teacher in short. He truly was invested in my education and success personally. He is a great encouragement. He specifically was there for me when I needed his encouragement and lifted me up when I had difficulties in different areas of my personal life as well. I had a very positive and successful educational experience. I would also like not to forget and thank Mr. Galgay for his guidance and encouragement for my start in my beauty career as well. Ms. Haskell for her vast knowledge and skill and tireless effort, lots of hard work, encouragement and guidance for getting my license and my achievement. Thank you all for all you’ve done! I am forever grateful!

Grace Fitzgerald

Got my haircut by Ezra, she did an amazing job, and the whole staff was very accommodating and professional. Would definitely recommend!

Emma Larkin

Amanda and the rest of the students working on the floor at Empire were professional, welcoming, and fun! I can’t wait to come back! I have already recommended these services to my friends and family!! Seems like a hidden gem for amazing services for a lower cost ! Thanks guys :)

Telisha Gilliard

as a student im awesomely happy with this choice as my beauty school. caring teachers with lots of experiences. i would recommend to anyone that is looking for a career in the beauty industry. UPDATE AFTER GRADUATION 👩🏾‍🎓 I’m still happy with the education I received at Empire Boston: Teachers care & administration staff also cares. They go the extra mile and are very encouraging. I graduated in May 2021 & although I’m glad it’s over I miss my teachers. I just came back to update my experience; if you are new to cosmetology career or it’s always been a dream of yours or both I HIGHLY RECOMMEND EMPIRE BEAUTY SCHOOL 💙

Ana Zhibaj

I love my haircut! Armani did an amazing job, and Ms. Morgan was there to guide her whenever she needed help (not that she needed it, she's a star!!)

Melissa Venchis

I just graduated from empire beauty school and I had the best experience. The educators are caring and never give up on you and they definitely make sure u learn the material you need to. For the education, you learn the basics they say, but I feel like I learn a lot more and have never felt more prepared to go out and start my career. I recommend this school to anyone looking to go into cosmotology. Also the prices are amazing for services so when they open to the public again I definitely recommend going!!

Lisa Primeau

Empire is a great place to get started with a career in the beauty industry. The school prides itself on diversity and puts emphasis on professionalism. Students are held accountable to a high level of performance. The staff is knowledgeable, understanding and most importantly, it is very clear that they love what they do. The program works in developing skills in as many facets of cosmetology as possible. Students are given resources for employment while in school and the staff really make themselves available, even after graduating. It’s an investment I am really happy that I made, I only regret not doing it sooner.

Mary Harrison

I was a walk in appointment in a rush to have hair and make up done and met Dreanna who was warm, kind and polite, she had an lovely manner and strived to achieve the perfect look that I wanted . Meticulously and Conscientiously transforming my hair into luscious locks which attracted many compliments . My make up was done by Caitlin, very professional and dedicated attitude. Both lovely girls who made me feel so amazing and very pampered . Amazing staff who Empire should be really proud of! Well done girls !

Advanced Gore

I absolutely love the service at Empire and my stylist for this appointment Ezra did an amazing Job I would recommend her to anybody I love my hair so much!!

Gen N

I hadn't such a great experience here! I hadn't had my hair cut in two years before coming, and my stylist Yleida put new life into my hair! She did exactly what I asked, gave me a trim (didn't cut off extra like so many other places end up doing) and gave me a gorgeous blow dry. Everyone here is so friendly and welcoming, and they write down the products they used on you so if you liked it you can go out and buy it yourself! I am going back next week for a deep conditioning treatment. 5/5 for Empire Beauty School and Yleida Silva!

Araselly Garcia

As a student who has graduated from this school, I have to say first and foremost... This school has became my family. My educators, the staff, the director, the students..... all family. I never wanted to leave once it came closer to time for me to graduate. I loved my experience here, and learned so much from my Pre-salon Educator Ms. Laurenco and Salon Level Educator Ms. Neely. They’re both very intelligent with all courses and explained them all very well in their own ways. If you’re looking for diverse learning, this school is all for you! Hair, Makeup, Nails, Skincare!! I wouldn’t have the confidence in these subjects if it wasn’t for this school.

Diego Centeno

I got a great haircut. Lily kept me involved and made sure I approved of every detail. Amazing price as well.

Aaliyah

Shylah & Mr’s Morgan were so nice, gave me a nice cut & gave me helpful tips on how to maintain my hair. Very affordable, & professional. Enjoyed my stay.

Marissa Guirguess

Leslie was amazing! And Miss Jean was fantastic with her advice as well. I will definitely come back.

Shannon Kelsh

I mean.... you get what you pay for. The students were really nice and I ended up getting a decent hair cut, especially considering the price. Main con is you can’t make an appointment in advance if you don’t know one of the students and if you are a walk-in you can expect to wait about an hour to be seen. Also, my haircut took forever (1.5 hours to get my hair washed and trimmed). If you’ve got the time to kill then it’s worth it.

Fafa Fizzi

I went to empire to get my hair done by Ezra one of the hair stylist and I couldn’t be happier with the results she was very professional and knew how to communicate with me, not only that but the people around her (other hair stylist) all made me feel comfortable and welcome this experience was a 10/10 and I’m most definitely going back in the future.

Seerat Byala

Tiffany was amazing and super patient! I got a haircut and a deep conditioning treatment

Tia Booth

My experience at Empire Beauty School was awesome. Delores Cox washed and roller set my hair, and the results were wonderful. She did an excellent job and she talked to me through everything she was doing or going to do. I would definitely go back there for such great services. The place was very clean, and everyone was so nice and well dressed and prepared to do whatever I wished to be done. I will give Empire Beauty School 10 stars.

Katelynn Rosa

I attended Empire Beauty Boston 2017-2018. I was a part time student doing the night program Monday to Thursday 530-10pm, I loved that I had this option for school as a full time mother of 2 this worked best for me. While there I was able to secure a job at a Salon in Brookline where I started as an assistant and have been a stylist there for almost 3 years now. My time at Empire is something I cherish to this day. They taught me the fundamentals I needed to pass my state board exam and practical, they allowed my creativity to bloom, and when I was stuck they pushed me to be more creative. My night time teacher was Mr. Legge, that man is the most wonderful teacher I have ever had. He knew his stuff front and back, was able to keep us intrigued and wanting more and pushed us to but give up if we couldn’t get something. Overall the school is a great place to get the education you need to pass your state boards, get liscense and start your career as a hairdresser!

Matthew Goldstine

Anisa was welcoming, friendly, and talented. Great place to get a haircut, definitely recommend!

melissa lo

Mrs Morgan and her apprentice was so patient and professional. I feel listened to and their services were very efficient. My only wish is that the school will bring back GOLDWELL products. I am disappointed the color products got switched. GOLDWELL products are one of the main reasons why I support this school.

maia piccagli

i had a trim here. the student was awesome. very smart and well educated. my haircut looked like a major improvement. my intention is to return in 3 or 4 weeks to hone in on style. i want to compare blow dry versus airdry. i want to change my hairstyle only slightly. i want to ask more questions about hair coloring and perms. i want to discuss style with my stylist. i like discussions about my stylists future plans following graduation from the program.

samila diniz

I had a great time during my year program! At first i thought it was gonna be hard but it just a matter of time that you learn that everywhere you go at first it’s scary but then it become your real home! I went through a lot of process a lot of different teachers but it was all for good reason! They all have their ways of teaching and they all help me a lot and right now thanks to them I am a licensed cosmetologist! So a big shout out to @Mr.legge @Ms.lavender and @Mr, Teixeira! And thank you @Ms. Fernandez for running this school great!

Kiki Love

I have been here 13 years ogo on my first visit to the US I was staying at the nearby students accommodation and I use to do my hair here! I still remember the smell of the minty shampoo and how everyone was nice and friendly. I was 18 years at the time and I had GREEEEEAT memories in Boston! I hope I can visit you one day again 💗 much of love from LONDON.

Becca Caughey

It's only $9 for a cut and a blow dry here and its in the middle of downtown Boston! I received a great hair cut. It did take a lot of time for the hair cut and the blow dry so just make sure you plan for that when coming here. Really impressed with the service.
