Change can feel overwhelming

I know it can be intimidating to go to a new salon or stylist for the first time. So, I've created your very own on-boarding new guest interest form. When you come to your appointment, we’ll discuss your hair concerns and goals and come up with a plan that suits you, your budget, and your lifestyle.

A color experience just for you

Elegance by Emily is a licensed hairstylist offering a personalized salon experience in a private, by-appointment-only salon suite - specializing in low maintenance blonding and color services; specifically coppers, reds, and brunettes. Elegance by Emily is conveniently located at 4107 Portsmouth Blvd. in Chesapeake, Virginia. SUITE 113

You can expect a warm welcome and a space designed with care—I've thoughtfully curated a soft, feminine, and cozy atmosphere for you to unwind and relax in.

Find peace in prioritizing yourself

I’ll start your service with a complimentary beverage during your thorough consultation, paired with a healthy snack. Whether you’d like to unwind with Netflix or get some work done, feel free to use the complimentary Wi-Fi—this is YOUR time to relax or focus.

I understand that longer color and blonde services may overlap with lunch or dinner, so I’ve got a microwave available for you to heat up any meals you bring along. Don’t hesitate to bring your favorite microwaveable dinners or leftovers if you get hungry!

For my mamas: If you end up needing to bring your little one, that’s absolutely fine! There’s plenty of space in front of your salon chair for a car seat, stroller, or wagon, keeping your baby within eyesight. The microwave is also handy for warming up water for a bottle. If you’re pumping or nursing, this is a safe and comfortable space for you to do so during your appointment.

Easy hair maintenance and flexible payment options

I'll also provide you with personalized hair product recommendations and aftercare instructions to help you maintain your style at home. Be sure to follow me on social media for occasional hair tutorials and beauty product reviews! After your appointment, payment is easy and convenient - you can use debit or credit card, digital currencies (like Cash App or Venmo), or cash.

Let me help you feel your best!

I love trying new things—let’s discover together!
