Here, everyone is welcome. As a queer stylist and a member of the Safe Space Alliance, creating a place that feels calm, safe, and affirming isn’t just important to me, it’s personal.
It’s important to me to foster a sensory-friendly space, created with neurodivergent folks in mind. I’ve completed training through The Sensory Safe Salon and plan to keep learning so I can continue to meet people where they’re at. Judgment has no place here.
If there’s anything that would make your appointment feel better, less overwhelming, more supportive, you’re always welcome to let me know. You’re never expected to mask or explain.
This is a safe place
I specialize in soft, lived-in color that grows out easy and still looks amazing months later. Every formula is custom, nothing cookie-cutter! Whether you’re a low-maintenance blonde or a brunette who loves dimension, I’ll make sure your hair feels just like “you.”
When I’m not behind the chair, I’m probably thrifting, at a concert, or chilling with my cats and a good podcast.
We keep things light in here. Music, memes, drama, whatever’s on your mind. No pressure. Just good vibes and even better hair.

She sends a form asking about music and beverage preferences before your appointment. My hair was in rough shape and she absolutely nailed it. I got highlights, lowlights, and a cut — and I’m so happy I found her.
"Her onboarding system is fantastic"

"I never had a preference on what salon I went to or who did my hair until I met Emersyn. Now I'll never go anywhere else! Not only is she SO good at what she does, but she has the kindest, warmest energy that makes you feel so relaxed. She has exceptional attention to detail and never makes you feel rushed. If you're looking for a peaceful, quiet salon (I LOVE this), please go see Emersyn. It's truly a treat every time I get to see her."

Usually, going to a hairdresser can cause anxiety, but Emersyn is so personable and wants to make your appointment as fun and chill as possible! Also...SHE'S FABULOUS AT DOING HAIR! I was feeling really insecure about my hair before coming to her appointment but after my appointment, I felt so much more confident about my hair. I was always nervous about getting bangs but she encouraged me to try it out and it was the best decision. She's the best hairstylist and I'm so happy I met her! Totally recommend her as your hairstylist.
"Emersyn is the sweetest, kindest person ever!!!

"I am so happy to have found Emerysn! She has been styling my hair to perfection for the past 3 years. Her studio is always immaculately clean, tidy and welcoming. She listens to my ideas, provides her input and together we work to find the best solution. I also appreciate the quality of her products. I have recommended Emersyn to my friends and family."

She truly understands hair texture, length, coloring, and cuts. She helped me adjust to the Florida humidity and now my postpartum hair. Appointments feel personalized and comfortable.
“If you're wondering if you should book, stop thinking and just do it.”

Em is one of the most nonjudgmental, easygoing people I’ve met. I’m always anxious about appointments, but with her I actually feel relaxed. And months later, I still love my hair.
“I never feel overwhelmed with her.”
- Emma J.
She really listens and takes her time. I love the environment she’s created — calm, personal, and just easy to be in.
“Emersyn made me feel so welcomed and heard.”
"What sets Emersyn apart is how much she cares for her clients."
I have been going to Emersyn since before she opened August Studio. Boy am I glad she did because her skills have blossomed even more, which I didn’t think was possible because she was already so talented. She curates the experience to make you comfortable and dedicates her own time to continuous learning so that she can continue to excel in her work. Although I no longer live in Florida, I still travel back home to get my hair done because no one I’ve found matches Emersyn’s talent!
