Emily Adams

Hi there, I’m Emily! Thanks for being here! You can find me on Instagram @therainbowlabhair.

I specialize in:
• Custom Vivid Color and
• Hair Extension Transformations

My favorite thing to do is combine vivid color with extensions to create the fantasy hair of your dreams! I firmly believe that vivid hair can be for everyone, whether it’s something you rock every day or a custom removable piece made just for you.

Behind the name The Rainbow Lab is a passion for color theory and a whole lot of geekiness for the science of healthy hair. My number one priority will always be keeping your strands in their best possible shape from scalp to ends. I’m also obsessed with education and keeping up to date with the latest technology and techniques. I am constantly learning, and I feel blessed to have studied with some of the most talented vivid color stylists in the industry.

A little about my background: I’ve been in the beauty industry since 2016 and behind the chair as a stylist since 2022. I am a graduate of the Aveda Institute, a Beacon Student Program alum, and a Dreamcatchers certified hair extension stylist.


I’m a native of Charlotte, North Carolina, but have spent the last several years in sunny Tampa, Florida. I love to talk about travel and hope you’ll let me know what some of your favorite destinations are!

When I’m not behind the chair, I’m probably chilling at home with my spouse and my two cats. But you can also find me out in nature kayaking, doing yoga, on the hunt for some fun streetwear and shoes, finding the best restaurants in town, and in search of any adventure involving snowcones.

Thanks for reading! I can’t wait to whip up some rainbows with you!
