Hands down best barbers in town. j diaz been a pioneer in the bizz. califader straight outta l. a and miguel and mike been choppin it up in the h for a minute. cant ever go wrong with anyone there cause everyone skilled in there craft. shakabrah

Great place. But they are unprofessional. Don’t care about customers waiting. I waited there for 2 hours and Barber after Barber walked out on me and left me to the last person working there. Will never come back again.

I love when my husband comes here. Only time I ever think his hair looks amazing! Parking no bueno, but worth the drive from Cypress.

Best customer service, usually when you walk into a barbershop nobody looks at you or ask you if you need any help /​give you the stank face, but these guys are willing to work with everybody, Fish hook me up and did an awesome job I’ll be there every week from now on

Found this barbershop on Instagram & Unilocal about a year ago… kinda fell off going back there for about 6 months because of the distance from the NW Houston Area… i was hitting up a barbershop in the Northwest/​290/​Bingle part of Houston, should name the spot, but ill keep it to myself. after countless BAD haircuts, horrible management and owners that like to go out and smoke weed during their customers cut… i was DONE with that barber shop…
BACK to «EMPIRE Barber Studio» I GO… driving about 30 – 45 mins weekly for a cut was well worth it. All the barbers are GREAT… I have had Julian, Chris, Stephen cut my hair. They are all professional and easy to talk too. They will not let you leave until your hair is fresh and exactly what u want. Taking their time is the key for them, Perfection at its best… i have odd hair, and I’m kinda picky, but they would listen and make sure its exactly what I want. Usually get a mid fade, trim on top, comb over part and beard line up all for $ 15 – 20 bucks… WELL WORTH IT
The atmosphere is good… they like to talk to about sports and keep the language «G» with kids coming in and out… but at any age, this is the neighborhood barber shop that makes u feel like your @ home and also makes you feeling like a new and improved man walking out! All are God Fearing and definitely take their blessings in helping others…
Big Up’s Empire… i’ll be a customer for life… keep doing what y’all doin!

Best barbershop I’ve ever brought my sons to. Very clean and awesome atmosphere. All of the guys are super nice, knowledgeable in supertalented with their craft of haircuts and straight razor shaves and designs. I have a little one who is hard to handle and Mike C. Always has patience with him while keeping him entertained so that he will hold still. I also have a 12-​year-​old who frequently comes in for cuts about every two weeks and is very into the modern-​day fades and designs. We’ve never been let down. They always keep them looking very handsome. Multiple times that we have been in the shop we have seen professional athletes come in so I was automatically impressed by that! This barbershop is definitely going to be taking over the Houston area. I would recommend them to anybody!

The guy was very patient with my son. It’s been 2 weeks and my kids hair looks good!
Parking sucks but it’s worth it!!!
Definitely going back!!!

Great experience @ The Empire. Traveled to Houston from California on business and needed a haircut. Went to Unilocal and read good reviews on The Empire so I tried it out. Again, great experience. They treated me like a regular from the start. Great conversation with some cool barbers. And I support a comment by another Unilocal reviewer, all barbers seem to be good. Its right off the highway so easy to get to. When in Houston I will visit Empire again. FYI. The barbers are sports fans, so that was also cool.

Been coming here for a little over a year now. If you’re looking for a cut, Empire is the spot. Staff is super laid-​back and chill. I get my cuts with Julian (owner/​appointments) and he hasn’t upset me yet.

Julian was great at cutting my hair, good environment and well worth the drive for me even though I live 30mins away.

I’ve been coming here for over a year and my boy Adrian never disappoints! Every time I leave the barber chair, I leave satisfied with my cut. This barbershop is hands down one of the best in Houston! All the barbers are pretty good and it’s very family friendly. I highly recommend to set up an appointment so you won’t get stuck waiting for awhile since it can be busy at times. So if you’re barber isn’t cutting it and you’re looking for a new place to get a cut, stop by and check this place out, you will be satisfied and won’t have to look for another barbershop again!

This’s is the place to get your hair cut in Houston got mine n my boys with fish perfect

I’ll say it again… it doesnt matter Who’s chair you’re in, These dudes are On Point!!! Had an appointment with Julian on Thursday, and my hair cut STILL looks fresh!!! You KNOW you got a good cut, if 5 days later your hair is growing out even and it looks like you Just got it cut!!!
I RECOMMEND THE HOT TOWEL TREATMENT!!! Fkn Relaxing as hell and you feel Fresh afterwards. NO you’re not less of a man if you get this. So… keep your Man Card in your wallet and treat yourself to a Hot Towel.

Started coming here November 2014 after way too many years of settling for a cut rate «style» at a chain salon. Walked in and Fish had an open chair. He asked some questions and started in on my cut. Since then I’m back every two weeks to see Fish and keep my mid-​fade fresh. Julian (Jr) the owner and the rest of his crew (Fish, Stephen, Mike, Mike, Adrian) will all give you the best cut in HTown. This is what a barbershop is all about. Easy access off 59 North — takes me less than 20 minutes from the Heights. Guys when you need a cut and or a shave, get yourself to Empire. You won’t regret it and you’ll keep coming back.

Short drive from where I live in the medical center (15mins without traffic)…
Didn’t have an appointment so I waited for 10mins and Adrian called me up.
Sat in his chair and 40 mins later had the exact cut I wanted… fade with an edge up and beard trim ($ 25)…everything about this experience was stellar and you can NOT beat price!
Friendly barbershop atmosphere serving killer cuts… will be back!

Fish was my barber, but they all seemed legit. Thoroughly pleased with the combover fade. Great people, great cuts. Really good price too. Zero wait.

A+++ to Empire Barber Studio…
Friendly environment!
Best prices and professional men cuts!
Cleanest haircuts and designs in town!
Check them out!
***Very recommendable!***

Very pleased. they take their time, fresh cuts, razor edge up, cool and talented people.

I’m here visiting Houston and I had to visit Empire, Julian is an extremely talented, passionate, and versatile barber, who works extremely hard at what he does and it shows. You know how sometimes you leave the shop saying «You know this guy could of done a little better on this, or a little better on that.» Well with Julian I never have that feeling because he doesn’t let me leave unless I am completely satisfied, and let me tell you only the passionate ones have that trait. So if you’re in Houston make sure to stop by and try him out. You will not regret it.

Empire is conveniently located off 59 North the Eastex Fwy, and Hopper rd. A classy joint. There are enough barber shops all over town that focus on ‘fades’ at best, but Empire is more modern.
Julian, the owner, creates cuts from the traditional fade/​edge up, to more trendy ‘rob kardashian-​esque’ styles. He’s pretty awesome at designs too… Texans logo anyone?
My brother, son, and a few friends are clients, and have been cut by Julian and Steven… Both do a great job. My son’s basic cut by Steven was $ 15. Not bad.
If you need a nice cut, and don’t want to visit the same ‘ol shop with the long lines, Empire will not disappoint.
