Client Love + Reviews
I don’t even have the words to describe the level of incredible work that Erin, Sara, and every other artist in this salon does. They are magicians and I am amazed every single time! Not only are the results always amazing beyond imagination, but the Emerge Design team as a whole is just next level! The love and kindness from every artist is simply unmatched. I will never go anywhere else! Erin has created the most beautiful, cozy, and loving space for every woman to feel beautiful from the second they walk in the door. ❤️
-Caroline B.Monet was incredible! The time and care she puts into her work is clearly evident. She was so friendly, easy to talk to, and I had the best salon experience I’ve ever had and my hair literally has never looked better! I made my next appointment before I had even walked out the door!
-E.H.The salon is refreshing, calm and welcoming. Even when calling the store you receive personable delightful voice on the other end. I randomly called this salon one day, in a hair crisis. The stylist was calming, reassured me she was going to help. That she did. She stayed well past the time she was scheduled. This type of service is hard to come by nowadays. Excellent salon!

Philanthropy at Emerge
Serving our communityFoster Together
Emerge Design Studio proudly supports Foster Together, a St. Louis nonprofit providing free resources for foster children and their families. Owner Erin serves on the board, and our salon is a drop-off site for the South County Foster Closet. We welcome new and gently used donations anytime.
Starfish Project
Emerge Design Studio sells jewelry made by survivors of human trafficking through Starfish Project, a nonprofit dedicated to their healing and empowerment. 100% of proceeds are donated to Foster Together, so every purchase supports two causes at once: survivors finding a path forward, and local foster children and families in need.
Action for Autism
Emerge Design Studio supports Action for Autism, a St. Louis organization dedicated to helping kids with autism and their families thrive. Our team attends fundraising events throughout the year and contributes through direct donations.
Community Hero Makeover
Do you know a community hero that deserves a special day of pampering? Each month, Emerge stylists choose and treat a local community hero to a full makeover. Our way of saying thank you to the people who give so much to others.
