    Kid's Combover by Julius
    Christiana S.

    I definitely recommend this barbershop! It's clean, has many TVs to get your little one's attention while he's getting his hair cut, and fully staffed with talented barbers. My son just started school and was on the hunt for a barber. I recalled Empire in Sunvalley and I looked them up on IG and loved how they're open Monday-Sunday! As a working mom of two, this is GREAT! You can easily pick a barber and book online through their website or IG. I came in on Labor Day to get my son a hair cut for his second week of school. Yes, they were even open on a holiday! I booked with Julius and he was amazing! He chit chatted with my talkative son and recommended my son have a comb-over. I wasn't too sure what I wanted for him other than a bald fade. Mind you, I'm not too keen on boy hair styles. When he was done, he asked me if I wanted him to fix anything on my son's hair but it was PERFECT! Thank you Julius! We will definitely be coming back!

    About two weeks ago, I called around in Vacaville and Suisun City to get some barbershop pricing. Only a few were $35, some were $45, and a lot were $50 for a haircut. This isn't Sport Clips. I knew some barber out there from out-of-state, who used to give me a buzz in my garage no extra charge. Six years ago, a haircut at a barbershop in the neighborhood would be $20-25. 28 years ago, if a barbershop in the hood was charging me $35 for a haircut that would be outrageous and I wouldn't believe it. I don't know how barbershop's out there that aren't from Carmel, Santa Clara, San Francisco, Napa, Beverly Hills, Las Vegas, or Scottsdale be charging high prices for a haircut. It sounded like they were price fixing. You pay for what you get, but if they're charging $50 or more, I'm naturally going to be expecting a $50 or more haircut. Yesterday, I booked an Empire standard haircut for 7:15 PM. A lot of barbershops don't work with my schedule, they're mostly closed at 5 PM. I like how Squire Technologies made booking with them easy. I like how they gave me an option to pay online or in person. Unless I have to, most of the time I go with in person and cash. This barbershop is in a shopping center. I arrived kind of early, about an hour and had some time to kill. I like the design here, very classy and slightly modern in black and white. I got exactly what I needed. Everything was excellent. I give this 5.0 stars out of 5.0 stars.

    If you need someone who is not only good with hooking you up with a good cut, but is also kid friendly and family oriented, check out Empire Barbershop and specifically ask for Raymar. He is not only stylish, can deliver what you want, but is also good with littles and makes them feel really comfortable. He doesn't just do well with kids though, hit him up for your fade or line up too! You won't be disappointed!

    Haircut aftermath

    Came in today for a walk in for both my brother in law and myself. They were able to squeeze us in and got serviced right away. Ulises helped my brother and Justin & Dario helped me out. Despite our big bushes on our heads they were able to cut our hairs and made us look completely different :D Thank you guys!

    Recently I started the process of looking for a new barber. A friend of mine recommend me to Empire in the Sunvalley Mall, and what a GREAT recommendation. They're not only clean and professional but so nice. I've gone a couple times and Erick's cut me twice. The man is talented, seriously! Like I said above, super nice guy, great conversation, and has me leave his chair feeling like a new man. 10/10 recommend Erick to anyone looking for a Barber in the East Bay at a very reasonable price.

    It had been sooooo long since my 8 year old got a hair cut. This was our first time at Empire and we drove all the way from Alameda. I heard about this place from my cousin and looked up all the Barbers listed on Instagram and picked Julius. (Although all of them seemed to be amazing) We got there early and Julius saw us right away. I love the look of the front because it felt like a red carpet experience! We showed Julius the picture of what we were looking for and he didn't flinch or raise his eyebrows in confusion. He looked at it once and was like no problem! 30 minutes later I came back and could actually see my sons face!!! He nailed the picture and nailed the hair cut!!! Julius was friendly, kind and great working with my wiggly son. I highly recommend this place and especially Julius!!! We will make the trip out here from now on. Totally and completely worth it!!!

    Does anyone know if they are on phase 2? The site mentions them being on phase 1 (no shaves, shampoos etc.), but not sure if this is still the case with CCC moving to the red tier.

    Thank you for your inquiry. Yes Shaves, and beard services are back. Shampoos as well by request. Feel free to book your next appointment with us. Our easy to use appointment booking link is available in our bio.

    How much is a bald fade and a lineup?

    All of our services, full descriptions and prices are listed on our website www.empire-barbershop.com as well as our booking pages. Check it out!

    Where inside the mall are they located at, close to or next to? So I know where I can park the closest to the shop.

    Hello, we are below Red Robin on the side of men’s Macy’s.

    3 Questions. I don't know how to say the haircut I want can I just show him a picture? How long do you wait I'll probably go early as soon as it opens. Lastly, how is the price?

    We always recommend to bring a pic of the cut and style you would like. The Barbers can help you during consultation. Wait times may vary due to time of day. Walk ins are… Read more

    Out running some errands while in desperate need of a haircut on a Friday after 2pm, I decided to…read moreroll the dice and reached out VIP Barber shop. They took me as a walk in without hesitation and within seconds, I was in the seat ready for kind gentleman named Patrick to do his craft. I'm not sure how long he's been at this place (I assume a while due to his relationship with other barbers), but that doesn't matter too much because he asks all the right questions to ensure you get the cut you need and deserve and this shop happens to be the place where he works his magic. He was absolutely meticulous with every movement of the clippers, and finished the cut with some alcohol (my favorite part) and some beard oil. I like going to a shop and getting a good cut, I LOVE going to a shop, getting a good cut and having a great conversation with the person doing the job. It's very important that the process is an experience just as much as it's a job and Patrick delivered on both ends. I appreciate him, his time, and the whole atmosphere of this place. Find VIP Barber Shop, ask for Patrick, then share the love.

    I had a really concerning experience here and feel like others should be aware…read more I stopped by this location briefly (less than 10 minutes), and during that time someone attempted to break into my car. When I came back, the driver-side keyhole had been damaged to the point where I couldn't even use it. While I was inside the neighboring barber shop, there was an older man who kept staring at me in a way that made me uncomfortable. After I discovered the damage and went back inside to ask about security footage, that same man suddenly ran out of the shop as I was explaining what happened. (MEXICAN) I was able to get a video and photo of him and his white truck (including the license plate), and I filed a police report. What also felt off was that when I asked to see footage from when I first arrived, I was only shown footage of him leaving--not the time frame I specifically asked for. They're in cahoots. I'm not making accusations, but the situation felt very suspicious. Just be cautious if you're in this area and keep an eye on your vehicle.
