Hi, I’m Vanessa.

Assistant/Rising Stylist

Born and raised in Los Angeles, my love for hair began early through beauty and self-expression online. What started as a creative outlet quickly became something grounding for me. That feeling of getting ready, loving how you look, and feeling confident stepping into your day is what drew me toward a career in the beauty industry.

At Em Hair Studio, I’ve found a space that truly values growth, intention, and artistry. I’m especially passionate about lived-in color that adds brightness and dimension, along with haircuts that feel effortless, wearable, and natural. I pay close attention to the details that make hair feel fresh and easy to maintain, always aiming to create looks that enhance your features and feel low-stress and true to you.

Continuing education is important to my journey in hair. I’m deeply committed to refining my technique and learning as much as I can so I can consistently bring thoughtful, well-executed results to my clients.

Connection with my clients matters to me just as much as the hair. I love working with clients I can build genuine relationships with, sharing conversations about everyday life, growth, and all the moments in between. Creating a space where you feel comfortable, supported, and understood during your time in the chair is always my goal.

Outside of the salon, I love unwinding by binging my favorite shows like Girlfriends while cuddling with Fendi, my dog. I’m big on planning fun days with my favorite people, whether that’s trying a new restaurant I saved from TikTok, heading to the movies with my favorite snacks, or making a full day out of it. I’m constantly saving creative ideas I come across online, from beauty and lifestyle inspiration to hands-on projects like making custom Disney ears. And when I need a little extra joy, you’ll probably find me at Disney, riding Space Mountain and soaking in the fun.

I’m grateful to be growing at Em Hair Studio and would love to have you in my chair.

Book an appointment with me and let’s create hair that feels effortless, confident, and truly you.
