How much is a men's haircut at Empire?

From €35 for a 40-minute haircut. Price may vary slightly with hair length and complexity.

How long does a haircut take?

About 40 minutes from chair to finish — consultation, cut, razor neckline and style.

Walk-ins are welcome 08:00–20:00 daily, but Fresha booking guarantees your slot and your preferred barber.

How often should I get a haircut?

Most clients rebook every three to five weeks depending on shape. Skin fades need shorter intervals; scissor cuts stretch longer.
