    This was my first experience with Empire and now I'm spoiled. I did a walk-in at noon on a Tuesday and the place was packed. I was lucky enough to be quickly met by Young Master Jourdan who, without exaggeration, gave me the best haircut of my Gen X life. He was patient, extremely detailed and made sure I was satisfied before I got up from the chair. I'll be back for sure.

    Coming from old school barber shops, I had no idea how far the craft of the barber has evolved. These young men are serious craftsmen and every cut I saw that day reflected their professionalism.

    Empire Barber Shop is my go to for staying fresh on my cut and shave initially at the Concord shop and since it opened a shop in Hercules. All the barbers are pure professionals and I have the best experience with every one I had pleasure being styled by …Drew, Christian, and my regular go to Francisco!

    Francisco consistently garners my girl’s approval and isn’t that the main reason a full service professional barber is the answer?!? No crew cuts here!

    I’m a regular client at Empire barbershop, where I receive beard lining and trimming services every 10 days from Fermin Soto (Eddy), whose exceptional skill and personalized attention make each visit feel like a luxurious spa experience. Thank you, Eddy, you rock.
