About Me

Hi, I’m Emily!

 

First, thank you for being here an considering me for your special day! I’ve been practicing for your wedding hair since the young age of four. My great grandma was a hair stylist, and I grew up inspired to do the same thing. When I was little I started playing around with everyone's hair (or anyone who would let me), taught myself how to braid when I was young, and by the time I was a teenager, I dreamt of doing hair for a living. I eventually found my way into the bridal world because I've always had a love for styling hair and showing my creativity that way.

 

Now, I am more than 8 years into my bridal business and I can't wait to help you feel your best on your wedding day! I’m here to artfully style your hair and help make your vision come to life on what’s sure to be one of the best days of your life.

Our Story

Wedding Day Hair

You deserve to feel stunning—and to hear endless compliments about your hair—on your wedding day. Every woman has completely unique strands: color, texture, length, fullness, frizz, silkiness… I’ve truly seen it all. Your hair tells its own story, and my job is to honor that. I’m here to design a bridal look that’s customized specifically to you, so you feel like the most confident and elevated version of yourself.

​

I specialize in romantic and clean hairstyles with a soft, lived-in flair. Whether you envision a textured, effortless updo or a sleek, modern style inspired by Hailey Bieber, I’m skilled in creating looks that feel timeless yet on-trend. And just as important—my styles are designed to last. You and your wedding party can enjoy your favorite trending looks from the early morning moments to the very last song on the dance floor.

Love Notes

"Emily was so responsive, kind, accommodating, professional, and talented. I was recommended by two different people I know to go with Emily for my bridal hair for my wedding and I am so incredibly happy I did. She made myself and my sisters feel so incredibly beautiful. I’ve never felt so flawless in my life. Emily you have so much talent and everyone should know just how incredible you are. Thank you for providing such great service and for giving myself, my sisters (my bridesmaids) and my mom the hair styles we’ve always wanted!"

If you need a sign to book Emily for your bridal hair…look no further. Never in my life have I felt more beautiful and magical, and Emily is to thank for it!! I think I got complimented on my hair more than anything my wedding day and night. I was so sad to take it out, honestly I wish I could have lived the rest of my life in it. Besides her talent, Emily is THE SWEETEST. Seriously she is so warm and caring about her clients it’s a breath of fresh hair. Emily, thank you for everything!!!!

I am so grateful that I was able to have Emily do my hair for her wedding day. When I found her it was obviously that she was great at doing hair, but what I didnt know was that she would be such a kind and calming presence throughout the process and on my wedding day. She and her assistant made everyone look so beautiful and when it came to my hair, she understood exactly what I was going for. Thank you so much Emily for making myself and my bridesmaids feel so beautiful on my wedding day!

Highly recommend booking Emily if you can! What a joy to work with for my wedding. We ended up doing two hair trials because I decided to change my look and Emily was super accommodating. She was very professional and quick to respond to my many emails. She did 8 peoples hair the day of my wedding, all herself, and everyone was very happy with their hair. I was beyond impressed with how well everyone’s hair stayed throughout the night and into the morning. Thank you Emily for everything!! A wonderful vendor to book."

Cannot recommend Emily enough for bride and bridal party hair! With having a Covid wedding last year, so many changes came about including having to change our wedding date. Because of this, my original hair stylist was not available. She highly recommended Emily to me and showed me her amazing work. I was sold instantly and signed a contract with her immediately no questions asked! She blew me away with her talent for my trial and then top it and left me SPEECHLESS with my hair for the wedding day. It was absolutely perfect and exceeded all my expectations. She was so sweet and understanding through the process and changes due to Covid and truly made my bridal hair dreams come true. Thank you so much Emily, you will forever be my go to stylist

From my hair trial to my wedding day, Emily knocked the entire experience out of the park. She is communicative, kind, patient, and beyond talented. My hair was flawless all day. My bridesmaids hair was incredible. If you want the best of the best for your wedding day, look no further. Emily is it. 10/10!

I’m so grateful to have hired Emily as my wedding hair stylist—she was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, she was professional, responsive, and so kind. She made the whole process easy and enjoyable, and I couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out.

After our initial trial, I had a few changes I wanted to make, and Emily was so receptive and thoughtful in how she incorporated them. She really listened and made sure my hair was exactly how I envisioned it—and it turned out even better than I imagined! It held up perfectly all night through dancing, hugs, and everything in between.

She and her assistant also did an amazing job with all of my bridesmaids’ hair—everyone looked and felt beautiful, and she brought such a calm and friendly energy to the getting-ready process.

Emily was also very responsive over email, which made communication smooth and stress-free. I truly can’t recommend her enough—she’s not only incredibly talented, but also just a lovely person to work with. Thank you, Emily, for helping make our day so special!
