Empire Beauty School 347 Pleasant Street, Malden, MA 02148

"That's a creepy place to be in. The website doesn't have hours for salon services, I followed the schedule posted on google maps and arrived at 3pm on Tuesday. At the front desk I was told about 10am to 2pm work hours for their students and was offered to schedule an appointment for Thursday and Friday, I skipped it and decided to go to another school. On the next day I called them to schedule an appointment and the assistant offered me only Monday and Tuesday next week. I feel like they keep a big line intentionally in order to force people and make haircuts for a regular price at their spot. To save money and time I recommend forget about this place."

"had such a great experience here, got my hair did green by a student and came out AWESOME!! everyone here is so personable n it was cool to meet the teachers as well who were super knowledgeable n able to offer advice to us as needed. i couldn’t be happier with out it came out. great vibe here, hope to come by again!"

"The student who did my hair did a great job, she was friendly & made sure I was happy with my hair each step of the way! Her teacher also checked in twice, making sure I was happy with my process as well. She did a great job & I would trust them to do my hair again and again!"

"I reached out to Amanda about my rapidly graying hair and asked how we could transition without trying to dye the dark all the way to gray. She had a great plan for highlights to blend the gray and give it time to grow naturally without drastic bleaching of the rest of my hair. She was very patient (I have a lot of hair) and precise. She picked a great tone that compliments my skin tone and eyes. My hair is bangin' in Zoom calls now. (I apologize to Gen Z for the gross misuse of their slang by Gen X) I get so many compliments on the color. Everyone continuously tells me that I have an EXCELLENT colorist and I should never let her go! (Please excuse the frizz in the "After" pics... we weren't quite dry yet... and curls... iykyk) Thank you, Amanda!"

"Coming to school is more than just to learn for me! It’s a great experience with great and inviting teachers /Mentors . It is what you make of it . My energy was matched on day one and I couldn’t have been happier at this point in time with the choice I made by enrolling . "
