Hi, I'm Emma, with over 25 years of experience as a hairstylist I love crafting confidence-boosting haircuts that suit each client's unique style and are also easy to recreate at home.
I have a passion for creating structured, wearable cuts and enjoy working with every hair type, from smooth to textured.
With an eye for fashion, I'm always in tune with emerging trends and love bringing fresh, dynamic styles to life.
My colour specialties include balayage, highlights, halo lights, split and panel colors, vivid and pastel tones, and classic coloring techniques—anything that lets me use hair as a creative canvas!
Outside of the salon, I love creating art and enjoy spending time hiking and biking around the Peaks. I’m also slowly working on a book about folklore,
When I’m not out exploring or writing, you’ll find me listening to spooky podcasts, diving into films and music.
