About me

I'm Emily. 👋🏼👋🏼 I'm a native Floridian, but grew up in Charlotte NC. I was lucky enough to have a cosmetology program in my high school and less than two months after I graduated high school I was a licensed cosmetologist working in an all men's salon and spa. I found a passion for cutting men's hair that I didn't know was possible. I love the simplicity and consistency of a good men's cut. I also love chaos on the weekends, so naturally weddings are my favorite. I started only doing makeup for brides, but after watching enough stylists create beautiful bridal hair, I knew I wanted to do it as well. At the end of the day, I love helping people look and feel their best. That's all I want to continue to do.
