Hey there, I'm Emily
While growing up people always tell you that you'll change your mind a million times about what you want to be when you grow up... that wasn't the case for me. From the time I first learned how to braid my hair, I knew that my dream job was to become a hairstylist. Over the years, I went from trying new hairstyles on myself every day (thanks Pinterest) to doing friends and family member's hair whenever they would ask. After graduating high school I decided to put my hairstylist dream on hold to earn a business degree. However, that ended up in me going to school for my degree while going to cosmetology school to learn how to do what I actually wanted to do. After obtaining my cosmetology license, I did a stylist apprenticeship that taught me more in a year than most stylists learn on their own in over five years. After this time my skills, understanding, and appreciation for the hairstylist community grew immensely. Fast forward a few years to now & I'm working as an independent stylist at Cross Salon in Maryville (aka the best salon around... I'm not biased I promise) as well as being a traveling bridal hairstylist. I absolutely love what I do and I appreciate my clients so much for allowing me to live out my dream every day!
