About me

Hi there, I'm Emma! 

I’ve been in the beauty industry since 2020, and I specialize in hair that has personality, texture, and a solid grow-out (because I care about your future self). I’m big on curly hair, razor cuts, shags, mullets, pixies, alternative color, and gender-affirming haircuts. If it looks a little weird in the best way, I’m probably into it.

Originally from Nashville, now in Charleston. My chair is very much a come-as-you-are situation. No judgment, no pressure, just honest conversations and hair that actually fits your life.

When I’m not doing hair, I’m at home fully committed to spoiling my animals like they pay rent. If you want relaxed vibes, creative cuts, and someone who will hype you up and tell you the truth, I’m your person.
