This place recently became part of the«Empire» cosmetology college chain. I’m not sure what that means, exactly, but it seems to be running just the same as I remember. *** Good, cheap haircuts — $ 8 – 10 or something like that. As with all schools, you run the risk of something not turning out well at the hand of an inexperienced student, but if you’re just looking for a trim this place can do just fine. I’ve had some of the MOST relaxing head massages here — they seem to go on forever! Stylists are friendly, and I’ve never found it to be too crowded. Their newish building has lots of space, and natural light, which gives a somewhat high-class vibe to an otherwise not-so-classy establishment. Often hard to get a walk-in appointment(at least, the few times I’ve tried to do it). Probably best to call ahead.
