CUSTOM CUTS · GREY BLENDING · LIVED-IN BLONDES

I adore cutting hair specialized to your head shape and educating clients on the how and why’s behind it all. Modern grey blending services and lived in blondes are my favorite coloring services. Getting to see you relax during the head massage shampoo service is the cherry on top of why I love getting to do what I do! If you want to connect and experience a fun detailed-oriented appointment I am your stylist!

LIVED-IN BLONDES · INVISIBLE BEAD EXTENSIONS

Hi, I’m Emily! I’m certified in invisible bead extensions and specialize in creating bright, lived-in blondes that feel effortlessly beautiful. I pour so much care into every detail, from custom color blends to the perfect placement because I believe great hair starts with genuine connection and attention to detail.

More about Emily

When you’re in my chair, you’ll find a space full of laughter, warmth, and real conversation. I love making my guests feel like the best version of themselves soft, confident, and full of love! When I’m not behind the chair you’ll find me either with my new husband, my girls, or probably at Disney! I can’t wait to meet you!

BEFORE YOUR VISIT

A little housekeeping.

New guests & consultations +

All new color clients need to book a consultation first. We’ll review inspiration photos, your current hair health and products, and the appointment and timing needed. New haircut clients should book a consultation alongside their haircut. Hair extension consultations are also available.

Appointments & cancellation policy +

Please respect that an appointment time has been reserved for you. We are looking to have clientele who understands we do not desire to have to rely on cancellation fees for clients to keep their appointment commitment.

We understand life happens and requires flexibility on both our parts. We do not charge cancellation fees unless it becomes a habit or frequent occurrence, where we will personally reach out to discuss the fee. Clients who consistently want to move appointment times/dates around on short notice (within a week of the scheduled appointment) may find we are not a good fit as our schedules are often booked out 2–4 weeks.

If you no-show no-call an appointment or display a habit of last minute cancelling a deposit will be required for any future booking.

Thank you for your support and if you have any specific timing needs/requests please reach out to see if they can be met.

Waitlist & additional availability +

We have a waitlist you can join online or personally request by texting (863) 658-6415. We’re happy to let waitlist clients know of last-minute openings. Please text about additional weekly head spa availability.

WE CAN’T WAIT TO SEE YOU
