Empire is one of the many hairstylists (a pretentious word for barber ;)) located at Wisma Saberkas. The shop's logo looks like Empire Records, but I sincerely doubt that this is one of their efforts in diversification. ;) I love the tiny little red blue swirling thing that indicates a barber shop in the old days mounted to the side.
The place is surprisingly empty for a Sunday afternoon. It's staffed by four female and two male hairstylists - all of them aesthetically pleasing. ;) I would highly recommend this place if you're into that. I was offered a shampoo and hair wash service by my hairstylist, Su Fang, which I declined. I was strapped for time, didn't want to waste my time cutting my hair.
This is the ubiquitous "Before" shot. Quit the junkie jokes everyone - it's just a bad shot, alright. :p The quick flash was on, makes me look washed out and all that. My hairstylist asked me about my age, and she got it way off...I really look young for my age; or so it seems. Heck, I'm even older than her.
This is my hairstylist working on me. I don't usually look like that in real life, the quick flash washes out the details that's all and I was a little sedated during the haircut. ;) Okay, I admit, I was kinda nodding off at that time. It's a little obvious. Hey, it's Sunday; don't I have a right to relax a little? :p
Here's a photo taken through the mirror - I just asked for it to be cropped short. Su Fang (my hairstylist) told me that it'll make me look like a school boy, and I said, that's the image I want to cultivate. The little innocent school boy "I didn't do it"/"It wasn't me" look and all that. ;)
Su Fang was good enough to compensate for my loi. I don't know what it's called in English, you know that swirl that you have at the top of the head? Yeah, some people have two (they're supposed to be evil ;)). My second one is to the upper right forehead, and she left the hair a little longer there, coz I told her I don't comb my hair.
This is the finished "After" shot - it's croppeds shot on all sides. That's my hairstylist beside me, her name is Su Fang. Empire is a great place for a haircut, and the prices are reasonable too - RM 16 for mine.
w00t, I look like an innocent school boy again. ;)
