Empire Beauty School: Where Education Meets Excellence in Reading, PA

Nestled in the heart of Reading, Empire Beauty School is more than just a hair salon or beauty salon—it’s a vibrant technical school and facial spa where aspiring make-up artists, nail technicians, and cosmetologists hone their craft while delivering salon-quality services at unbeatable prices. Whether you’re seeking a fresh haircut, a rejuvenating facial, professional make-up application, or the perfect mani-pedi, Empire Beauty School blends the energy of a beauty school with the professionalism of a top-tier salon.

Student-Led Salon Services You Can Trust

At Empire Beauty School, every service is performed by talented student stylists under the watchful eye of experienced instructors. Clients continually applaud the “fantastic workmanship” and “attention to detail” that ensures each haircut, color, and style is tailored to individual needs. Angelee, for example, has earned a reputation for taking her time—“she does not rush through” and “perfects her craft,” delivering results that keep clients coming back. From a precision cut to an artistic up-do, our hair salon offerings rival any professional salon, often at a fraction of the cost.

Comprehensive Beauty Treatments

Beyond hair services, our beauty salon and facial spa menu features an array of facial treatments, waxing services, make-up artistry, and nail salon specialties. Lydia’s facials are hailed as “incredible,” combining soothing techniques with professional products for glowing, healthy skin. For those seeking an extra touch of luxury, Nicole’s head massages are frequently described as “the best of my life,” elevating your salon experience to a whole new level of relaxation.

Affordable Pricing & Exceptional Value

One of Empire Beauty School’s standout themes is value. Customers rave that “it cost less than a third of a professional salon with a better result” and appreciate our use of high-end products typically reserved for top-tier establishments. By choosing Empire, you access the latest trends, premium hair care lines, and beauty products—all priced to make professional salon services accessible to everyone.

A Welcoming, Professional Atmosphere

From the moment you step through our doors, you’ll be greeted by friendly, courteous staff and student stylists who radiate professionalism. Reviewers consistently note, “I’ve always been met with the utmost in friendliness and professionalism,” and praise our team for explaining each step of the process. This warm, client-focused approach ensures you feel valued, comfortable, and confident in your beautification journey.

Strengthening Careers with Expert Guidance

As a full-fledged technical school, Empire Beauty School offers more than hands-on beauty services; we’re committed to nurturing the next generation of industry professionals. Our career planning specialists—led by the ever­-supportive Sylvia Pabon—provide one-on-one guidance, resume workshops, and job placement support. Students and alumni alike admire Sylvia’s genuine care: “She’s always there when you need her,” ensuring futures in cosmetology are bright and promising.

A Collaborative, Supportive Learning Environment

Empire Beauty School’s campus culture stands out for its collaborative spirit. Educators are described as “delightful, caring, patient, and passionate,” fostering an environment where students and clients alike feel uplifted. This positive atmosphere translates into meticulous services, as students strive to meet the high standards set by their mentors and the school’s leadership.

Balancing Speed with Quality

While our student-driven model offers exceptional value, it naturally involves a learning curve—appointments may take a bit longer than at a typical salon. Most clients appreciate the extra time as part of the educational process, noting that “it might take a bit longer for them to style,” but few mind when the end result is salon-perfect. Empire continually refines its training protocols to minimize wait times and enhance consistency, ensuring that the vast majority of visits leave guests thrilled.

Commit­ment to Consistency & Continuous Improvement

No institution is immune to the occasional misstep. A small handful of customers have experienced uneven results or longer appointments than expected. Empire Beauty School takes such feedback seriously—emphasizing quality control in practical labs and reinforcing instructor oversight to maintain the highest service standards. Your satisfaction drives our ongoing commitment to excellence.
