West Michigan-based hair and makeup artist
Meet your stylist, Emily
I’m not just a stylist - I’m an expert in self-care.
I earned my cosmetology license from Paul Mitchell the School Grand Rapids and a bachelor’s degree from GVSU in Marketing and Finance. I’ve spent years balancing salon life with working in a family-owned marketing department, where I gained invaluable industry knowledge. Today, I also write for The Cut, a magazine reaching over 12,000 stylists in the Midwest.
I am a workaholic at heart, but that’s what makes my me-time so much sweeter. I live and understand a busy lifestyle, but I believe in leaving things to the experts. I am an expert in self-care and am passionate about finding styles that work best for you, from the color we choose to everyday styling. Offering recommendations is my specialty, whether it be quick style hacks or go-to product choices.
Why I do what I do -
I’m dedicated to crafting a personalized experience for each client. My goal is to make your beauty routine effortless so you can focus on living your best life. I believe in providing a high-quality, luxurious experience that fits seamlessly into your busy schedule.
When I’m not behind the chair, I’m…
Girly girl nights in, with cute cocktails and snacks
Supporting local businesses and exploring new local hotspots
Traveling: Recent travels include Italy, Paris, Yellowstone, New York, and Chicago
Playing games - I finally understand Euchre and am oddly competitive in Backgammon
Outdoors - Walking (especially after a night out), hiking (as long as it's not too steep), boating on a sunny day, and trying new workout classes (currently in a love-hate relationship with Orange Theory)
Practicing self-care - Typically on the couch with a glass of wine and popcorn, a treatment soaking on my hair, a face mask, and teeth whiteners, to make this low-key girly feel ready to take on the day
And spending time with my people!

“I couldn't be happier with my hair.”
“My extensions and color are more than I could have asked for. She knew what to do to make my hair the best for me. She asks questions and listens. I feel the color is so flattering for me. The products she recommended are amazing and she is absolutely lovely to spend time with!”
