Emily, a hair stylist assistant at Barnette's Salon, "Named One of The TOP 100 Salons in The Country" (Elle Magazine). She is young, determined, driven + you're going to love her sweet southern accent + bubbly personality as she shares what it's like to be a brand-new cosmetologist who finished school during Covid.
Her superpower? ''I haven't been doing it for six months yet but just try to be the nicest person you can because even if you like mess up on the hair, like just a little bit like just a little bit if you're nice they'll come back to you. YIt's really about selling the experience and not just about the hair.''
Her inspiration for cosmetology school? Her friend Taylor who earned $40 in tips during Cosmo School made her think ''I want to get paid to go to school!!!!" Having no idea she'd go from homeschooling her junior and senior year of high school because she just I couldn't stand actually going to real school to falling in love with her hair career ''just out here like living my best life while my friends from high school are still in college.''
Emily's highlight hack: A lot of people in this world who cannot handle a platinum card. They think they can but they can't. And so I like to do baby lights on the top. That way you get as much blonde as possible while still being healthy. And I tend we learned in school to do three sections in the back, but I only do two. And I do you start in the back because the hair process is faster on the top of the head, which you're also not taught in school. I like doing a halo weave. So you you do the highlights, like in the halo part of the head. And that way, they also get highlights in the back end, the front was still using the same amount of lightener as a partial.
