I'm leaving a very honest 1-star review, not because of poor service or a bad experience, but…read morebecause of the pricing structure and overall business model. This barbershop actually hired my barber from another shop (Yanf). He is hands down the best barber I've ever had, which is the only reason I followed him here. The staff and service themselves are not the issue at all. What was shocking from the start was the pricing. A fade and beard trim costing $70+ is already extremely high. Recently, they introduced a "membership" that is advertised as a way to save money, but in reality it feels like more money upfront for very minimal savings. The membership is $55 per month. Without the membership, a fade and beard trim is $81; with the membership, it's $73. That difference does not justify a monthly subscription unless you are somehow getting multiple haircuts monthly like 7+ before saving kick in. There is no real financial benefit for the average customer. I want to be clear that this is not a complaint about the barbers or the service, they do a great job. This review is about what feels like a money-grab pricing model that puts unnecessary pressure on loyal customers. I'd like to see a membership that actually provides meaningful savings, because in its current form, it just doesn't.

Bobby was great but from what I saw you can't go wrong with any of the barbers.

I'll be a regular from now on.

I dropped my boyfriend off to get a hair cut at this barbershop. The shop takes walk-in customers…read moreand despite how crowded it was on a Saturday, he was able to get in for a cut. The place had a nice friendly atmosphere and was fairly clean. The barber who cut my boyfriend's hair hardly spoke any english so there was trouble communicating and making requests for what style he wanted. As a result, my boyfriend ended up with a half way haircut that looked awkward. We had to go back the next day and ask the same barber if he can fix his hair cut a little bit. They said what my boyfriend wanted would be another cut so same charge will apply but he can fix the haircut by trimming more. I wouldn't recommend anyone going to this place if you dont speak/understand spanish.

Right now we are in a pandemic and local businesses such as barbers and salons are opening. This location is following all the rules to keep their staff and also their customers safe. They're cleaning everything in between each customer and everyone is wearing masks and face shields. They have a list you put your name and number on and as you wait in your car they'll call you to come in. I was in a major need for a haircut and my barber provided me with such a great cut and a great reasonable price! I know some other barbershops are charging a lot more for a simple cut but they have kept it within a reasonable price. The location is great and close to home so I'll definitely be coming back hopefully next time we all won't be needing the masks but I do hope they continue to clean everything after every customer.

I was I highly recommended and I'm very happy. I made my appt. with Joe and he was ready with no wait. I showed him what I wanted for my son and he took his time. The fade was clean and tight. He even asked if that was okay after; he never assumed. Respectable and courteous establishment. The location is ideal, lots of parking and close to everything if you're just running errands like us mommies do. Happy I do not need to look any further. Be back is 2 weeks!! **BTW: I did not pay $25 for a child's cut so I'm confused why I the previous reviewer said that. $20 is a base price for most barbers now a days. If you want to pay less remember the saying; you get what you paid for. Headz Up Everybody Ty has a new barber!

Empire Cuts is our go to spot for my son's haircuts and somehow I have never written a review. This…read moreis the year I catch up on writing long overdue reviews. Ha. I use to take my youngest to a nicer salon in Weston but the cost for a kid's haircut got way too pricey. My sister is a professional hairstylist and will cut our family's hair whenever we see her. Unfortunately, she lives in Atlanta. I would usually pay attention to kids with great haircuts and ask where they go. One of our friends recommended Empire Cuts and said they see the owner, Julio. First time here, we tried to make an appt with Julio but he was booked. He's quite popular. No sweat, they were able to accommodate us with someone else. Since we were new to Empire Cuts at the time, we weren't picky. We are regulars here now and I have to say we have been here about 15 or more times and these guys are always so good with my son! I love whenever he gets a fresh cut! A good haircut makes all the difference. Our schedules are usually crazy with the kids so I never really had a set barber to make appointments with. Several of them would give us their cards but honestly, it was so much easier to just to walk in and play it by ear. Haha. Julio has a fully staffed crew of barbers here that hustle and do a great job and I think we've seen almost everyone by now. So they are all pretty good. More recently, we started seeing Steven as our regular Barber. He's great and so good at trying to be consistent getting us to holler at him for appointments. Eventually we did and it worked out great. Steven is the BEST with my son and always so personable with him. I love that he chit chats with him and it's so sweet. He's also good about checking in when we haven't been by in a while. Kid was trying to grow his hair out towards end of the year. He eventually decided to get a fresh cut for the new year in 2025. Haha. The barber shop is super clean and all of the guys here are great. They are consistently busy but can almost always accommodate walk-ins. We pay via Square with the individual barbers and tip accordingly. We've been coming here for over 2 years now and I think we paid $25 + tip. Pricing increased a little bit and we now pay $30 + tip. Still a great price for quality haircuts. They just opened a new and smaller location, Empire Cuts 2, at the corner of Stirling and Pine Island. In the same plaza with Litchi Delights and Tijuana Flats. Great consistent experience here. Check them out if you're looking for a good barber. Keep up the good work Julio. Stellar service all around.

The person I spoke to (I believe the owner) was very accommodating and got me in right at 9am when they opened.

Going to a new barber can be a stressful experience but it was very laid back here. I dont live in Miami but do visit often and will be back in if I ever need a haircut again while im there. Thanks!
