She had someone in the chair she was finishing, so I was like great. We can transition. When I walked in no one greeted me. After 10 minutes she asked me if I had an appointment. Instead of me going next she put a child in the chair. Then proceeded to have someone wash my hair. That person did a horrible job. I was placed under the dryer, which I questioned because I normally have my retwist on wet hair. I was told she does that. I said ok since the child had less than 50 locs I assumed it would not take long. At 6:15pm I took myself up from under the dryer. I then saw she was still working on the child's hair. At 7pm she was not ready for me. I met someone else waiting who had a 6pm appointment. We were both pissed. I left with dry hair with product still on my hair. Very disappointed with my 1st experience. I will not go back.

Whenever I come visit home, I always try to sneak in and get my hair done here. At one point it was…read morewalk-in welcome, then it became by appointment, so I stopped by to see if I could get seen. I was surprised as they said they could take me now however I had a few things in the car that needed to go to the house so I was told to come back at 5:30 and they would take care of me. I came back at 5:30 and it's like the whole vibe was different. Now I'm very aware that these are students, however they are learning to become professionals and therefore you expect professionalism at its best. Sadly, that's not what I got. The students talking amongst themselves with topics that are inappropriate, cussing at each other, eating and drinking at stations . . . However the one that almost had me get up and leave was a roller hit the floor and another student picked it up and acted like she was going to roll my hair with that roller. I had too much product used in my hair - which we discussed prior to starting about - and it would have been nice to be given a towel to put on the back of my neck as the dryer setting was set high in attempts to dry my hair. My hair wasn't completely dry when I left so ultimately the curls didn't hold, but morning you couldn't even tell I had my hair done. Also, if they are talking about other clients in front of me, I know they are talking about me in front of other clients, but once again, this goes back to professionalism or in this case lack of.

Very nice professional beauty school that does good work from my experiences. There prices are…read morereasonable as well. This visit I planned to get a wash, blow dry, and flat iron. In the past I just get a wash and blow dry to prepare my hair for braids. I was assigned to student Antionete. She warmly greeted me then off to her station we went. She confirmed the services I was getting then completed a standard hair evaluation with one of the teachers. The teacher brought to my attention that my strands were a bit dry and could use a moisture treatment. I appreciated this since I've had my hair in braids for awhile although I condition well when I take them down. While Antionete washed my hair she regularly checked the water temperature and her scrub was comfortable for me. I enjoyed the thorough wash and condition. She also didn't rush to complete my flat iron. My all natural curly hair was nicely straight and light weight. I was quite pleased with her work and will definitely return. Hopefully, I'll get her again next time. However, I observed the other students doing a good job on their customers as well. Also that I was in need of a trim. I appreciated them bringing both to my attention. Normally I only let my hair dresser trim but I felt comfortable with Antionette and with the teacher being there as well. She did a great job on my trim. Big before and after difference. She also did a beautiful job on my silk press. My hair was so nice and light afterwards. I highly recommend Empire Beauty School for your basic hair needs.

To be fair, they did send me 2 emails that I haven't read but one was a blog & they started to send those everyday so I unsubscribed. But I called the other day and was told to call back at one & that they were on lunch break. I thought it odd that all of the staff who could give important information were on break for TWO hours, without anyone to take your number to call you back! But I called today and nothing but a voicemail, tried it and it was full. It just seems that this place has gotten a little success and is now "too big for their britches". Oh BTW, one of their competitors has texted me back and emailed already and I texted them after texting TBA but all they did was send a link to their website which doesn't answer my question! I wouldn't go there anyway bc it says they're not accredited despite any successes.

Payment by card, cash and digital accepted. Con: Beware of price increase if you have "natural" ie not chemically relaxed, textured hair. You will be charged $61 for a simple shampoo and roller set that costs other people w same hair length $20. They charge you $61 even if no silk press, blow out, flat iron or additional styling done. Great salon, but I disagree with this policy. Otherwise, my review would be a 5/5.

I walked in a strawberry blonde and walked out with blotches and stripes of red, green, ash and brown. I have to say the girls were very sweet and worked hard to get it right. The problem was the man instructing them. He handled all the dye mixes. Even when the girls and I knew the process has gone wrong, he kept insisting it was just some red in my scalp. I held up strands of my hair with a red blotch at the root, a streak of bleached blonde, and another of copper, and told him that's not scalp. I should have walked out then. Instead I let him mix up two more batches of dye, one to tone down the red splotches and another to tone down the bleachy streaks. You can see the result. The girl next to me fared no better. She kept saying how bright yellow her hair was and asking if it would darken up. The whole thing was a horrifying experience made worse by the condescending and arrogant instructor. If he had even once acknowledged there was a problem, I would have thought it was a fluke mistake. But he kept saying it was fine and that it would tone down after a couple of washings. The girls in the shop knew better. I had strands of hair with hard verticals stripes of colors not found in nature. There was nothing soft and subtle about it. I knew they felt terrible, but it was really out of their hands. I asked one of them if they would walk in to a job interview with this hair ( I have one scheduled), and she sadly shook her head. I hope my experience helps prevent others from making the same mistake. I was betting on the five star reviews, and learned the hard way. Tomorrow I go to a professional design studio to see if they can do anything to repair the damage.

If you book with anyone at LeVett Beauty School--make sure it's Niya!She saved my hair…read more.. literally. I came in for a color rinse and blow dry, and Niya was amazing from the start. She did a fantastic job with the color--my grays were completely covered and the shine was beautiful! She placed me under the dryer and had to step away for another client. That's when someone else stepped in... and let's just say, it went downhill from there. Unfortunately, the second stylist didn't have the right tools, the technique, or the attention to detail that textured hair requires. As a fellow woman of color, I expected more care--but instead, I was about to leave the salon with my hair barely blow dried. That's a disaster waiting to happen if you plan on pressing or styling afterward.Thank goodness Niya came back just in time! She immediately noticed it wasn't done right, jumped back in without hesitation, and re-did the entire blow dry. And when I tell you she did it RIGHT... smooth, soft, and fully prepped like it should be. That's the kind of skill and integrity you don't always find in a student salon.She's got an amazing eye for detail, a gentle touch, and a true passion for making sure you walk out confident. I'll definitely be booking with her again before she graduates--and if you want your hair done correctly the first time, you should too!
