Came here for the first time and the vibes were immaculate. My barber, Isaiah, is incredibly meticulous and truly takes pride in his craft—he took his time and made sure every detail of the cut was on point. The staff was welcoming and family-oriented, and the owner greeted me right away with nothing but positivity. Overall, an amazing experience. I’ll definitely be back!
This is THE spot for us. My 6-year-old son and I have been coming here every two weeks like clockwork, it’s our little ritual now and we both love it. Super kid-friendly vibes, all the barbers are awesome with him and make us feel right at home. They all do great haircuts too. Jordan always takes good care of both of us. Chill atmosphere, big TV, dope art on the wall, just a really nice place to kick back and get cleaned up. Highly recommend!
Came in with no appointment and got sat down with Gabriel. This guy is magic with the clippers, seriously. The haircut was great, but also what was super impressive was how fast and easy it seemed for him. We were halfway through the cut in 10 minutes it felt like, which is just proof of his talent. Beard, taper and trim on top. Gabriel got me right. 🫡
I have been coming to Empire for a while. I’m an older client and have searched for a good barber for a while. I will not go anywhere else. They take their time time and make sure my hair is cut not just to my satisfaction but more importantly to my wife’s. I usually have Jordan cut my hair but if he is booked solid then he asked if Lalo could cut it. Both cuts are always always clean and neat.
Visiting “home” for the holidays and needed a cut before the festivities and Angel got me right with a perfect low taper and a detailed scissor cut trim with a straight razor. I used to go to Paradox but the prices they are asking for are outrageous now. Dont think twice about booking an appointment with any of the barbers, they all seem like chill dudes and made me feel comfortable and took care of me right away. Shoutout to Dr. J for noticing I was hot and put the fan on me so I didnt sweat! Sorry not used to CA “winter” anymore lol Bring cash, otherwise they got an atm in the back. Every time I need a cut in SJ I’m only going to Empire!
