Hello, we are Empire Barbers. We are a barbering studio located in the heart of downtown Ellensburg. The studio focuses on quality custom tailored cuts for all folks. Dafne and Morgan the co-owners have a combined 9 years of experience in the industry. Dafne and Morgan met going to cosmetology school and went on to work in a barbershop together for a few years. The two decided to establish Empire Barbers in 2024 so they could continue to focus on serving the community of Ellensburg in a more inclusive setting with more availability. Owning their own business was a dream realized along the way. 

Dafne has a partner, Tony and they share a baby girl, 2 cats, and a lizard together. They have a passion for travel and love to kick back with friends every chance they get. Morgan is married to her longtime partner Hawk, they also have 2 cats but no lizard. Morgan and Hawk enjoy camping, hiking and paddle boarding as often as the weather allows. Both of their respective partners work for local businesses so they all understand what is means to support local. So whether it’s your first time in or your hundredth Dafne and Morgan can’t wait to welcome you in and give you the hair of your dreams.
