So I happened to be vacationing and visiting family in midtown Miami and was in dire need to get a fresh cut before my boat trip the next day. So I looked around on Yelp and Instagram and found Empire Grooming Barber Lounge. Now... I'm from New York City and a legit fade and crisp line up is the standard so anywhere new makes you very cautious. But let me tell you Tyson at the shop gave me a top quality fade and beard lineup. Ended up he was from the same area back home. But bottom line is that if I ever moved down to South Beach or come down for vacation again, you best believe I will be stopping at the Empire Grooming Barber Lounge for a fresh cut. Down to earth dudes in the shop, good music, welcoming modern look and seconds from the beach. So it's Deffinitely worth giving a shot if you're looking for a nice cut whether you live in South Florida or are visiting for a short time. read more

My boyfriend was looking for a place to get a cut during our stay in the South Beach area, so we googled barbershops, and this one popped up. He's very picky about who he let cut his hair, but wanted to look nice for our outing. Our first impression walking through the door, was that the place was clean, nice, and everyone was friendly and laid back. Someone else who was also getting a cut recommended that we wait for Taisun to cut him because he is the best, so we waited. Needless to say, my boyfriend was VERY satisfied! Clean cut, clean lines, and didn't overcharge like everyone else on the beach! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a dope barber to exceed their expectations. read more

Best barber shop I ever been to in Florida/Miami i am from New York. Reminded me of my childhood barber who took the effort to make sure my cut was on Fleek. Barber Anthony asked what I wanted and provided plus more than the usual washed my beard took his time on my cut "no rush" hairline came out straight, hair faded, beard was tight very skilled profesional barber on site. He accommodated me with a seat immediately asked me what I wanted and started going to work never did I have to tell him to do not push my hairline back or do not push my beard line down very patient on perfection but yet was out in a timely manner. Very affordable and clean place to get a cut. FACTS read more

I brought my boyfriend in for a cut. We were very late on Saturday. The barbershop was closing and the barber still took us in without an appointment. The place was clean and smelled good. Tony cut my boyfriends hair and it was the best cut he had in years. He has been obtaining dozens of compliments at the wedding we attended. I would like to thank Tony for his great haircut he gave to my boyfriend Gary. When we come back to town we will definitely visit Tony again. read more

This barbershop was super comfortable. The owner, Tice, made me feel like I was family, like it wasn't my first time there. Not to mention, the service was amazing. I didn't ask for any particular style. But, when I left, I felt like a different person. My cut was on point. I would highly recommend this barbershop to anyone who's trying to get in and out with a quality cut quickly. I had no idea there was a shop on the beach, but now I tell everyone about it. read more
