Red Union Hair Salon – San Francisco

Emily began her career in the Haight-Ashbury during the busy dot-com boom of the late 1990s, where she soon began to show her talents as a colorist, excelling in various highlighting and corrective color techniques.

Her desire to be at the leading edge of hair design led her to enroll at the Vidal Sassoon Academy in Santa Monica, California, where she studied classic and innovative cutting, coloring and creative techniques with industry pioneers.

Experience in the world of fashion shows and photo shoots led Emily to study cutting and styling techniques with both Toni & Guy in Los Angeles and Bumble & Bumble in New York, where she became certified as a Network Educator, qualifying to teach new styling techniques to other industry professionals in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Because her approach to styling is that of a consummate student, Emily is always looking for new ways to expand her repertoire of cutting and coloring techniques. At the same time, she constantly searches for new sources of inspiration inside and outside the world of hair and fashion in order to best serve her clientele.

I love it here at Red Union Salon and can’t wait to serve you! My favorite technique is to use the razor and I excel at cutting thick, straight, coarse hair which responds so well to that treatment.

For curly hair, undercutting is the key technique to free the client from excessive weight. I also stay current on the trendiest short haircuts like the millennium bob, spikes, and short layers!

Now that you know my specialties, do not hesitate to make an appointment to come in, even if it is just to talk with me. I am confident that you will leave with a smile and new look!

Imagine a haircolor that not only  covers grey and creates amazing shades but also provides non-stop conditioning.  MATRIX SOCOLOR RECRAFTED features Cera Oil conditioning complex, which continuously conditions the hair for up to 30 shampoos.  ”The polymers and ceramides condition the hair stand during the color process making it smooth, resilient and healthy looking. I have been using and loving Socolor for years and I did not think they could improve upon it.  Wow, did they ever!  With a ColorGrip Dye Technology that stops color from fading, keeps it true to its original tone and covers grey 100 % it is a true miracle.  A light floral scent  is another improvement over very overpowering chemical smell that usually is a trademark of permanent color and all just in  time for your Fall hair and Fall color!
