Our Story

A standard set
quietly, in Corby.

Empire began with a simple conviction — that a salon could feel as considered as the work it produces. Today it is one of Northamptonshire's most quietly admired addresses for hair and grooming.

Our standard

Nothing rushed, nothing generic.

Empire Hair & Beauty was founded in 2019 on a belief that a town-centre salon could hold itself to a big-city standard — without the big-city distance. For more than 7 years we have refined that idea, treatment by treatment, client by client.

Our standard is simple: nothing rushed, nothing generic. Every appointment begins with listening — to your features, your lifestyle, your hair history, and the way you want to feel when you leave. Only then do we shape the treatment around you.

Women's hairdressing, barbering, nails and brows sit together under one roof, each delivered by a specialist in their field. It means you can entrust your whole look to one team that knows you — and genuinely cares how you leave feeling.

We are proud to be part of Corby, and to welcome clients from across Northamptonshire who want something more considered than the ordinary.

What We Believe

The principles behind every appointment

Craft above all

Our team trains continually and obsesses over the details others overlook — because mastery is the only thing that lasts.

Quietly personal

No two clients are the same. We listen first, advise honestly, and tailor every treatment to the person in the chair.

A calm sanctuary

From the moment you arrive, the pace softens. Time, space and a complete absence of rush are part of the service.

Considered, always

We use only professional-grade products and proven techniques, chosen for results and for the long-term health of your hair.

Before we begin

The consultation

Every great result starts the same way — with a proper conversation. It is where we understand not just what you want done, but how you want to look and feel.

01

Listen

We start with you — your features, colouring, hair history, your routine, and the finish you are picturing.

02

Assess

We are honest about what will suit you and what will last, and flag anything your treatment needs — a patch test, or a little patience.

03

Plan

Together we shape the treatment and a realistic price, so you arrive on the day with no surprises — only anticipation.

In their words

Loved for the way we make clients feel

A reputation built quietly, one client at a time.

We went for a French crop and it turned out perfect — clean, stylish and exactly what we wanted. The barber did an awesome job; my son left smiling and feeling confident.

Excellent service and friendly staff. I've been going for over three years and they always do my hair right — multiple services like women's hair, nails and brows. Definitely recommend.

Great staff with a very good knowledge of beauty and services. I have always been happy with Anca for my eyebrows, and with the rest of her team.
