The blow dry didn't give that smooth, polished look--she tried curling it, which looked nice at first, but the texture still felt dry and frizzy. At the salon, the cut seemed okay, but after I washed my hair at home, I realized it wasn't done well. My hair ended up shorter than I had clearly asked for, and there were no layers added. It felt more like just a quick trim rather than an actual haircut. I don't want to name the stylist, but she seemed new and may need a bit more experience--especially with blow drying hair smoothly and really listening to what the client is asking for. As a customer, I do expect a better finish. I've had really great experiences before with your more experienced stylist, which is why this stood out to me. Thank you Tanya G. For responding. I don't think you can do anything to my hair now. It's shorter than I wanted. May be next time, I will make an appointment with a more experienced hair stylist. She has done it for me before and I loved it.

Also I'd like to mention that everyone in the shop was extremely friendly and made my time spent there very comfortable, which is important when you're spending hours getting your hair done.

For years I've been seeing my cousin, who is a superbly talented stylist/colorist, for my hair…read moreneeds, but she unfortunately has had to cut her hours way back due to a serious health concern, so I was (reluctantly) looking for a new salon. I'd driven by Empire Salon many times and read the great reviews, so while I was scared to try someone different, I finally booked an appointment--and I'm glad I did. Michelle (the owner) and the other stylist at Empire, Louise, are very warm and friendly. Michelle is, like my cousin, truly a miracle worker when it comes to hair. My hair was in such bad shape that I was sure she was going to recommend I cut it short. (Think months of swimming outdoors + repeated highlighting + heat styling. It looked BAD.) When I told her that ideally I'd still like to be able to pull it back in a ponytail, I was sure she'd say that too much of my hair was beyond saving. However, when I walked out of her salon, I still had long hair, and even better, it still looks and feels amazing. The ultimate test for me of a great cut is that even after washing, and with no styling, my natural hair still looks good. I have fine, very wavy hair, and the first time I washed it after Michelle worked her magic, I just let it air dry and used no styling products... and it actually looked good. Not perfect like she when she professionally styled it, of course, but good. She'd even made my color look so much better--WITHOUT COLORING my hair--just by cutting and styling it. This woman has genuine talent. Also, her prices are reasonable. Finally, she has a small dog named Bear who treated me to canine karaoke. (Bear "sings" along with Michelle--who has a great voice--to Whitney Houston.) That was an unexpected extra. :-) I highly recommend Michelle and Empire Salon. One last thing: Michelle originally owned a much larger building next door to her current salon. That was where I'd originally seen Empire, so initially, I went there and knocked on the door, until I double-checked the address and realized she'd moved to a different building just to the right of it. There is also plenty of free parking in downtown Niles.
