If I could give Emerge Design Studio a higher rating than five stars, I would! The first time I had an appointment at this salon, my stylist sat down with me to look at photos I'd brought and really listen to what I wanted before ever reaching for her shears. She listened to me describe the look I wanted, how I wanted it to move and how I planned to style it; she gave advice on how to achieve the look at home and talked me through each step as she was doing it. This is an Aveda salon, but there is never pressure to buy product. Erin and her staff are constantly learning in order to stay current on the latest styles and techniques. They are very professional, but it's also a fun and relaxing environment. When I leave Emerge, I always feel refreshed!
