What Our Employees Say
Adela—
“Working for Emerge Design Studio is not just a job, it’s a blessing. Every morning when I step through the doors, I’m not just entering a workplace—I’m coming home. We are not just co-workers, we’re a family. The atmosphere here is unlike any other; it's warm, inviting, and brimming with positive energy. Our clients aren’t just transactions; they are valued guests and friends who grace our chairs. Each visit is more than a service, it’s a connection, a moment shared between friends.
At Emerge, I have been blessed with the unique ability to balance my roles as both a mother and a master hair stylist. The studio’s flexibility has allowed me to nurture my family without sacrificing my career. It’s a rare and cherished harmony, and for that, I am eternally grateful. This balance has not only fostered my financial growth but has also nurtured my spiritual and emotional well-being. In this environment, personal growth feels as natural as professional development.
Being surrounded by such kind souls and extraordinary, talented stylists makes evolving in my technical field almost effortless. Every day is an opportunity to learn and grow, to refine my craft under the guidance of mentors who are also dear friends. The creative energy in the studio is palpable, pushing us all to be our best selves.
I am right where I need to be; a place filled with compassion and creativity. Here at Emerge, we uplift each other, celebrate our successes, and support each other through challenges. The camaraderie is unmatched, the laughter is genuine, and the bonds we share are strong. Working here is not just about styling hair; it’s about transforming lives, starting with our own. Emerge Design Studio is more than a workplace—it’s a community, a sanctuary, and a source of endless inspiration. Each day I spend here reaffirms my love for what I do and the people I do it with. It’s not just about creating beautiful hairstyles; it’s about creating beautiful moments and lasting relationships. This is why I love working at Emerge.”
