I've been cutting my hair for over 25 years because I'm on a budget and before that, most stylists never got it right. So I gave Empire a chance and glad I did. Said was my barber and although I don't speak Spanish (and he did), I was able to show him pictures of a High and tight military fade and he understood what I wanted. He checked that he was cutting it the way I like it periodically. He was quick and professional. He even shaved the back of my neck, something no one else has ever done. He finished with an air blast to clean off loose hairs. The atmosphere was great, even through the language barrier, everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. The shop wasn't that busy for a Tuesday, but made an appointment just in case. I'm getting too old to cut my own hair so this was fantastic. Finally, the price ($25) for a fade is unbeatable. I highly recommend anyone looking for an affordable and precision fade to check it out. I look forward to my next trip.
This a follow up from my first visit Dec. 5. I walked by on New Year's Eve 2023, around noon, wasn't expecting that anyone would be open. Empire was as busy as it can get. However, Said was available and recognized me immediately. He asked if I needed a cut. I did and this time I used Google translator, however, he remembered the cut from my last visit. He again exceeded my expectations. I only had to check it once before the finishing touches (shaving around the temples, sides, and neck) and it was spot on perfection. This guy is a true professional and again, I recommend him to anyone. It's hard to find a great stylist, and now I have at Empire. 5 STARS across the board. Thanks Said and Happy New Year to you and...
