Jayna J.

I am mortified that I spent even $10 on my hair. If anything, that is what they should be paying me for the time and product it has taken me to undo this damage. I would first like to note that I am an educator at a public school. I am aware that there is a learning curve to certain skills and that these are students who are practicing and need to be cut some slack and given grace, and I'm ok with that! Additionally, I have the most hair anyone in that salon has probably ever seen, and it's thick, and unbelievably kinky so I'm not coming in with the best canvas to work on. I asked for a Deep conditioning treatment with a blow dry. Simple enough, right? This student squirted conditioning treatment ALL OVER my head, and proceeded to massage it into my scalp!!! She sat me under the dryer for 20 minutes where I thought "that's ok, she will probably shampoo one more time after she washes the treatment out." NOPE!!!!!!!! As she started to dry my hair, she noted it's heavy and thick and takes forever to dry. I must have requested at least 3 times to get blown out with a round brush. But, when she discovered it would take more than 10 minutes with a round brush she switched to a padle and said she would fix it later. Ok, fine. The deeper into the service, the worse it got. As she as drying, I kept thinking, she's not getting it dry! Only to find out that it in fact was just grease and conditioner ALL OVER MY HEAD! Although she never went back and did the finishing touches with a round brush like I asked; the paddle brush she used did so a decent job. When she motioned that I was done I pointed out that there were some parts that were still sopping wet, and also; why does my hair look like I haven't washed it this year? This lady proceeded to tell me it's my fault for 2 reasons: first, I didn't brush my hair (WHAT?!?!!) and secondly, because I was sweating. I was so offended. The pictures alone will show you, this is not sweat. I have washed my hair 3 times since coming home and it's still a disaster. Over an hour in the shower trying to get this product OUT!!! What I am most appalled by is the lack of leadership or supervision. These pictures were taken no less than 10 minutes upon exiting the salon and I am flabbergasted that any instructor or teacher let me walk out looking like this. It's awful!

Great work at Empire wonderful students

I have been going here on and off over the last year and today I received the best service yet! Sue…read morewas absolutely amazing, personable, kind, and skilled! The prices are unbeatable and the staff is so fun. It's a relaxing environment and well equipped. I got a wash, blow dry, and flat iron and it was excellent! I highly recommend this business and be sure to ask for Sue!

I understand this is a training school and that they are learning, but I think better expectations…read moreneed to be set prior to the appointment. I came for a blowout, and right off the bat, it was evident that the trainee was not experienced with blowouts on long hair. However, I had no issues with the trainee itself. The trainer would come here and there to give some pointers, but after the wash and comb through, the trainee spent several minutes on one small section of hair while we were almost an hour into the appointment. While the trainer was there, I politely asked if it would be possible to complete the blowout in 30 minutes, as I had to be somewhere. This was on me because I have longer-than-average hair, and I should have double-checked while making the appointment. I was told that it would take about an hour when I made the appointment. The trainer got super defensive and stated that I was asking for too much, and this would technically be an $80+ blow out (my blowouts at traditional salons have never been $80+). I was surprised as to why he was so offended when I only politely asked and even offered to come back at a later time, as they close at 3 pm. Nonetheless, my event was postponed, and I was able to stay for longer, but the trainer ended up doing the blowout while the student watched. What I don't understand is why the students are made to do the service independently when they do not have much experience. The trainee was very sweet, and I understand that they were trying their best. It was overall a strange experience, and I don't think I will go back again. The results were just okay, and the curls did not last through the day.
