I was very pleased on both of my visits to Empire. The stylist/students that serviced me were Jasmine and Donielle. Both young ladies were professional and very pleasant. They did a great job on my hair. I will return.

I had a very nice experience at Empire Beauty School, having my hair needs serviced by Stylist Donielle. The Professionalism and care she displayed was beyond my expectations. I loved the finished look of my hair, it was silky, shiny, full of body and she gives a nice shampoo. The School was very neat and clean, I would recommend Family and Friends to visit Empire Beauty School to have their hair care needs serviced.

I was not sure I would be seen but God worked it out and April was my stylist. She is so professional and took excellent care of my hair. I had a relaxer retouch and when she finished, wow my hair was amazing!! As a teacher I have to stay lookinf professional and April made sure that happened. I have found a new stylist and a new place to bring my daughters, thank you Empire Beauty School Gwinnett and thank you April!

Customer service is no longer a priority. Even the instructor(who sided with the student) was rude. I understand they are learning but manners are Going to be VERY important in the REAL world!!

I am a current student at the Gwinette location! I love my educator Miss Washington! I am a hands on learner, and even though color was what brought me here (I have been coloring my own hair for 20 years) I am learning so much!! If you love beauty and making things beautiful, then you should come to empire!! I can’t wait till I have my license and can get out there to make people (more) beautiful!!

The Empire Beauty School in Gwinnett cares for all there students, staff and clients. It is such a great place to learn and get your hair done. They do not deserve the current 3.3 stars that they have. if you live in the area and are looking for a beauty school to attend or even get services done call and get a tour and see how amazing of a school it is yourself. and for those of you wanting to get your hair done call and get an appointment, ask question they are so helpful and professional on all levels.

I went today and had my hair dyed/foiled/cut and styled. Erica did a fabulous job with guidance from her instructor . Everyone is super nice. I volunteered for a demo on face therapy. The treatment was astonishing.

Im not going to bash the school or the students who have accomplished so much and graduated. But I will say this.If youre going to take out loans and pay money for a skill, Love what you do. Cosmetology isnt for everybody. Between the appointment not being recorded, the stank ass attitudes fogging up the place, to the bottom feed customer service and not to mention the low quality hair service that was received. That $25 would of had a better pay out at Panera Bread. Today was the worse. Im sick over it. Every time I drive down Pleasant Hill Rd I will think...Never Again. 1st and Last time. I hope tomorrow is better for you guys and your customers.

The school sucks, too much heat and cant even try to attempt to do your requesting, no wonder its a cheap price. If you want you hair slayed and flowing, then i suggest not going here. Some of the students there are good, then others just need to find another profession. Its more of trial or lock thing, it you get a good student great if not good luck. poor service

I had my hair cut my Monae and she was fabulous. This is a school and some students are father along or learning different services at different times. Customer service was fine across the board for me. The place was clean and the ladies there seemed happy to be there. All in all Im going back to get cut and color next time!

Review №29

Today was my first time coming here. My hair is short and wavy. The first student was unsure how to style my hair. She asked the instructor, Mccellumfor assistance twice. This instructor was not any help at all for myself or this sweet student! Another student named Taj stepped in to assist. As the instructor continued to walk around! The students are enrolled here for guidance not to be ignored! First impressions is everything!! My people we have to lose the nasty attitude and do better!

Review №31

You get what you pay for. If you have naturally curly or long hair, please do yourself a favor and DONT get a trim here. These are not professionals, and you more than likely will end up with an unwanted haircut. I came in for a basic straighten and trim for my mid-back length hair; left with a neck-length uneven bob. The stylist trimmed only half an inch while it was still wet and curly. I ended up going straight to my usual salon to fix it.

Review №32

Do not go here, very rude. Students and teachers. They dont teach you what you need to know for other ethnic hair and let you fail. Dont waste your time and money, go to another school!!!

Review №33

DO NOT COME HERE!!! BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. I CAME IN AT 9AM BC THATS WHEN THEY SAY THEY START BUT BC THEY HAD A POW WOW I DIDNT GET STARTED ON UNTIL 10:02. I WILL NEVER COME HERE AGAIN. AND IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO ATTEND A BEAUTY SCHOOL DONT EVEN BOTHER WITH THE PLACE. GO TO A SCHOOL THAT REPECTS ITS CLIENTS TIME AND WILL TEACH YOU THE RIGHT WAY. GHETTO PLACE!! THEY SHOULDNT EVEN BE ACCREDITED.

Review №36

Very unprofessional from the Director on down to the students. Some of those girls dont know what they are doing and should not be there. They be having some conversations with clients that they shouldnt be having. They take their time setting up their station and getting their clients. Some of them have the worst attitude and some of them be wearing leggings to where you can see their butt or underwear. Some of the girls be telling what goes on in there with other students and staff members. It’s a few girls that does a great job there.

Some of yall complain about going to a hair school its only students there what do you expect talking about them doesnt help improve their skills if anything knocks down their esteem. .... you all put so much on the newbies and instructors cant keep up with everyone smh

I arrived at 7:00 am on Saturday morning I was the forth person in line. The doors opened promptly at 9:00 am, I signed in and waited for my name to be called. My hairstylist was Adelisha (I hope I spelled it correctly), she was professional and very knowledgeable about the products that she used and also recommended products. I received a blowout, deep conditioner and trim, she did a fabulous job. I would recommend her in a heartbeat. Adelisha, if you read this I want to say thank you again and good luck on your endeavors. VI

My first time trying the service and Im definitely going back again soon. My hair is natural and I had a barber blow dry and flat iron my hair and he did very well, they train well and they are professional for the best price.

Review №44

Been there a few times. Twice Ive gotten my hair flat ironed and they didnt use any heat protectant. I got a color which turned out very uneven. I also got a cut there and the woman used dull scissors so now I have way more split ends than I did at first. :( Just pay attention to your stylist. The price is great but I would stick to just the hair wash and blow dry.

Review №45

First of all, you really have to consider what they do: they are students, and so they are slow, and they arent great at it yet.Ive had my hair cut there once. Bad idea.Ive had my hair colored there three times. Goood Idea :) Again, even though each time it was painfully slow, for the professional quality color they use, you cant beat the price (for over-all color) -- I dont think I would trust them with highlights.I was offered a Mani for an extra $5 and decided to try it. The girl didnt have a *clue* what she was doing -- another *bad* idea.Make sure to ask for someone who has done it before -- sometimes they just put people out there who have never done a real head of hair.

Review №46

I am never ever going to come back here again. When we come there, is to support the students and let them practice on us. We dont come there because we BROKE.The supervisors force they students to make extra money out their clients. They charge you for things u never ask or wanted. This is not a school. They just want money.

Review №47

My hair looked a hot mess. Its a shame that you go in for a simple hairstyle (straightened and ends cut) and it looks bad. I will never be back. Save your money!

Review №48

I gave this school a 3point rating cause even though they are students, for a quality and cost of the work they do it was very well worth it...lowest price being $5 and thats for a wash and style. My experience today was the first of many.
