Hi Gorgeous!

I’m Emily, originally from Orange County, California but now so thankful to be calling amazing Charleston, South Carolina home.

I am Charleston’s full service hair extension specialist focusing on scalp health and results that make your confidence shine! I provide extension services and the maintenance that completes your entire look including color, chemical smoothing treatments, conditioning treatments, and styling.

As someone that has struggled with thinning, damaged hair in the past, I know how important it is to find the right stylist that hears your concerns and can help you be the most beautiful version of yourself, both inside and out. My salon studio, Sun + Spaide, is where I create customized solutions for women through the use of hair extensions, as well as hair color techniques and other treatments, so that you can always feel naturally beautiful.

I’ve had a lifelong passion for beauty, initially entering the industry in 2010 when I worked my first part-time job as a junior in high school at a busy salon on weekends. I then graduated from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo with a B.S. in Business Administration and a concentration in Marketing Management, later moving to Charleston and entering the industry as a graduate of Paul Mitchell the School and a licensed professional in 2017. Since opening my own salon studio in February 2021, I have never felt more love for our industry and the wonderful women of Charleston that I am honored to serve every day.

While most extension stylists offer one method and unified maintenance for all of their guests, I prefer to create custom extension solutions based on your scalp mobility, hair condition, texture, density, and goals. I strongly believe that just as you grow and change over time, your hair care plan should too.

When I’m not at the salon, you can definitely find me enjoying a coffee at Front Porch or out at one of my favorite local restaurants (seriously, you have to try Nick’s German just down the street) with my girlfriends. If I’m not out and about, I’m usually staying cozy at home with my cat Olive and catching up on my favorite guilty pleasure TV show, 90 Day Fiance.

If you’re ready to get the hair you’ve always dreamed about, head over to my NEW GUEST page to schedule your consultation! Don’t forget to also take a look at my About Extensions, SERVICE MENU, and FAQ + POLICIES pages to learn a little bit more about Sun + Spaide in the meantime.

I can’t wait to meet you!
