    I am extremely disappointed with my experience at Empire Beauty School and feel compelled to leave…read morea detailed review for others considering services there. I went in for a pixie cut and provided a clear reference photo. The student stylist consulted with her instructor, Ms. Kim, who approved the style and directed the process. At that time, my hair was shoulder length. After washing my hair, Ms. Kim immediately began cutting in a rushed and uneven manner before allowing the student to continue under her supervision. At no point was I properly advised that my natural hair texture would require a relaxer in order to achieve the style I requested. That critical information should have been disclosed during the consultation--before any cutting began, not after my hair was already significantly altered. Throughout the appointment, multiple instructors were involved, including Ms. Shirley, and the process became inconsistent and poorly coordinated. My hair was molded, dried for over an hour, and further manipulated with products and clippers in the back. Despite spending over 5 hours in the chair, the final result did not resemble the style I requested in any way. What is most concerning is the lack of professional communication and oversight between instructors. Decisions were made on my hair without clear explanation, proper expectation-setting, or consideration of the outcome being delivered to the client. After the service, I was told I should return in 48 hours for a relaxer. That recommendation should have been discussed before any cutting occurred--not after my hair was already compromised. Due to my dissatisfaction, I escalated the matter and emailed the President of the school. I was informed that someone would follow up with me, however I have not yet received any response. In the days following my appointment, I continue to notice more clearly how uneven and poorly executed the cut was, particularly from the initial work performed by Ms. Kim. My hair is left in a condition that is extremely disappointing and difficult to correct. While I understand this is a training environment, clients still deserve proper consultation, informed consent before major changes are made, and consistent supervision that prevents outcomes like this. Unfortunately, that standard was not met in my experience.

    Thank you to Ms K & Ms Shirley for their wonderful knowledgeable efficient customer service to this…read morenew walk-in customer. I really appreciate it! All staff I observed are hard-working & busy & lovely clean ambience! I just made an appointment but they made sure they did a patch test before getting my hair color.

    Why has it taken me so long to find this magical spot of quiltiness? I've discovered many new…read morefabric stores in my recent time here in RVA, but no store really checked all the boxes before I walked into Quilter's Corner. Located in Midlothian, it is definitely worth the drive from wherever you are. Upon entering, you are drawn into the shop like a kid in a Hogsmeade candy store. Everywhere you look there are amazing examples of potential projects, and a wide variety of fabrics to choose from. The shop is so well organized that it makes exploration easy, if not a little expensive (Yes, before you ask, I needed that fabric - For what, you ask? Not sure yet, but I needed it!!). The staff here is amazing. Open and friendly, I never got the feeling that I was being a bother, or that I needed to rush to get all of my questions answered. Long arm quilting services, a large variety of classes, and a well-lit classroom are some of the many services offered. The folks who work here seem to love quilting just as much as they love sharing that knowledge of making quilts with those that visit. I'm excited to sign up for a class... I'll let ya know how it goes!

    Why I had not heard of this place before now, I will never know. i have searched in the past for a…read morereally good sewing alternative to JoAnn Fabric (sorry JoAnn, I like you but at times I want a real quilting place!). I have a Brother sewing machine and asked if they could repair it...little did I know it was operator error (d'oh!) but they still did find some odd things that were not performing at 100%. Good price on repair and tune up! And...my goodness the gorgeous bolts of fabric!!! A wonderful array of very good quality quilting fabric that you could also use for sewing other things besides quilting, but also a really good assortment of notions/items to help with your quilting, quilting magazines, etc. It turns out they specialize in Brother sewing machines so I will always come here now. The staff are also so very nice! And I could bring my Chihuahua inside with me it looks like!! If I could teach her how to sew now that would be really good...anyway, I really recommend this place. So many good things here for those who sew!! Oh and the parking is really good...it's a private lot shared between small businesses! #shoplocal !!
