Emperio Barbershop and Salon has been shaping hair in Maple Ridge for over 12 years, known for precision fades and classic men’s grooming with a modern edge. If you want a barber who listens, suggests practical options, and delivers the cut you actually asked for, this is the shop. They stand out for their mix of traditional barbering techniques and modern salon styling, all delivered in a compact, welcoming space on Lougheed Highway.

They offer a clear range of services, from clipper cuts and scissor work to hot towel shaves and beard design. Favourite choices include the Signature Fade, which pairs close clipper work with hand-scissor detailing, and the Recharge Package, which adds a hot towel, shoulder massage and product styling. The salon side uses Redken and American Crew products for finishing, while barbers favour Wahl clippers and Feather blades for precise edging. They also provide children’s cuts, grey blending, and bridal party groom services for wedding day touch-ups.

The team blends apprenticeship-trained barbers with licensed stylists, many with five to 15 years of experience. Appointments are available by phone and online, but there is often room for drop-ins in quieter weekday afternoons. Expect crisp, confident scissor and clipper work, clear recommendations for maintenance at home, and a friendly, no-pressure chat about styles that fit your lifestyle. The shop keeps a tidy, approachable vibe, with comfortable seating, sports on the TV and a steady rotation of local music.

Locals choose Emperio because it feels like a neighbourhood barbershop that actually delivers consistently good cuts. It’s where students, professionals and retirees cross paths, and where stylist knowledge meets practical service. Book a spot and you’ll leave with a cut that lasts and a plan for upkeep.
