Why Glen Waverley books Empire
Three reasons Glen Waverley locals make the trip.
Glen Waverley has its own gravitational pull — Kingsway, The Glen, a serious food scene — and not much that's specifically a premium men's barbershop. Empire fills that gap one suburb over: 15 minutes of road for a cut that's actually worth booking.
-
Straight drive down Springvale Road into Oakleigh — well under 20 minutes outside peak hour.
-
Plenty of Glen Waverley regulars combine the trip with a Chaddy or M-City stop on the way home.
-
Late hours Tuesday–Friday make it easy to fit in between work and Kingsway dinner.
