Had a great haircut with Manav at Empire Barbershop. He really listened to what I wanted, paid attention to detail, and delivered exactly the style I was after. Clean fade, sharp finish, and very professional throughout. Highly recommend Manav if you’re looking for a reliable barber who knows his craft.

Had an amazing experience today. The haircut i got is exactly what I wanted. The guy manav is too good. During the session didn’t felt any sensation of hair pulling. Manav made it very smooth and he is very friendly. Definitely recommended.

Damo did a fantastic job the second time I was visiting Empire and I can say I’m happy about my decision to come in. Good chat, well communicated and the level of detail are perfect. Edit: Appreciate the owner reaching out, offering a refund and a free haircut to fix my hair. Original Comment: Is skin fade different here? Booked a skin fade at 12:40pm, started at 12:55pm and finished at 13:15pm. Left very unpleasant

I had a great experience at Empire Barbershop thanks to Damien. He was incredibly friendly, made me feel welcome right from the start, and showed a lot of care and attention to detail in the way he cut my hair. You can really tell he’s very experienced.

EDIT: Someone called me from the shop after this review and without apologising he said we will refund your money take your review down and also offered a free haircut next time. Mate, this is not how you do business. Booked a haircut for my son and a haircut + beard trim for myself. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t live up to the hype. My son’s haircut was uneven — some parts were left long while others were cut way too short. Mine was average at best, but the beard trim was a disaster. Both sides were shaped differently, and I didn’t mention it during the session fearing it might make things worse. To top it off, we were charged $120 for the session, which feels completely unjustified given the outcome. Is it worth the reviews? Not in my experience. Would I return? Definitely not.
