FAQ

This space is quiet, private, and totally one-on-one. It’s made for people who feel overwhelmed in traditional salons. You’re welcome to let me know anything that would help you feel more at ease. No pressure, no judgment.

What precautions do you take for salon anxiety or sensory sensitivity?

Nope! I use high-quality products and treatments that protect the health of your hair. Even with lightening, your hair can stay strong, shiny, and happy. We’ll always chat about what’s best before we get started.

Will the color damage my hair?

That depends on the look we create, but most of my color is designed to grow out soft and easy. If you're into low-maintenance, you'll probably go longer between appointments than you're used to.

How often will I need touch-ups?

Absolutely. I specialize in soft, lived-in color that blends with your natural hair and grows out beautifully. Nothing harsh or fake-looking, just hair that feels like you.

Will my color look natural?

If you want soft, natural-looking hair that grows out easy and doesn’t feel high-maintenance — you’re in the right place.  If traditional salons feel too loud, too fast, or too much — this space was made with you in mind.
If you care more about how you feel in the chair than chasing trends — let’s do it. Come as you are. No pressure, just good hair and a calm, cozy vibe.

How do I know if this is the right space for me?

No worries! If you’re new, you’ll fill out a quick form first and I’ll tell you exactly what to book. It’s super simple and takes the guesswork out of everything.

What if I’m not sure what to book?

How do I maintain my color between appointments?

It’s super simple. Just fill out the new client form so I can get to know your hair and what you're looking for. I’ll email you within 24 hours with exactly what to book. From there, you’ll get a little vibe check form to set the mood for your appointment. That’s it! I’ll handle the rest.

How does it work if I’m a new client?

During your visit, I’ll give you product recs and easy tips to help your color stay fresh and pretty between sessions. Nothing complicated, just what works for your 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"

- Kathryn Loboda

"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!!!

- Tyler Morton

"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."

- Abby S.

 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.”

- Erika M.

 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!
