5 MINUTES WITH: EMILY

If you've sat in Emily's chair, you already know - She's sunshine in stylist form. Loud, lively, and always ready with a killer Instagram reel, Emily's obsession with blonde hair is only matched by her love for HSM and a flat white. Behind all the fun is a serious talent: she's all about making people feel like a million bucks, one foil at a time. Bonus? She's our go-to girl for content that slays! Let's spend 5 with Em...
