Emmily has been my curly stylist since 2014. Emmily is a curl genius. She's easy going and fun, intuitive, generous with her time, creative with her vision, and SUCH a skilled curly cut professional. She makes great product suggestions, and teaches strategies for easy styling. My first cut with Emmily was transformative. I finally felt like my hairstyle suited me in all the ways. It was low maintenance!!! Asymmetrical, a little punk rock; femme but not too femme; and sexy more than cute. I've never felt more appropriately styled than I have since Emmily started cutting my hair. I've updated my style a few times and she's always game. She's a curious, enthusiastic, and knowledgable collaborator, and works to sculpt the look I can only ever partly imagine. She'll tell me if something is possible with my hair texture, if it will look good on me, and if it will be easy to maintain. In 2020 on a trip that lasted longer than planned... I needed a BIG change and decided to bleach my hair blonde. When I returned home to CA Emmily helped me figure out that I really wanted to be a redhead and not a blonde, then she helped me experiment with various reds, and now she's also my colorist!! I love my hair now more than I have in my entire life, and it is 100% because I have Emmily as a hair collaborator. She's also great with cut maintenance and advising on timing. If I need more time between cuts, she knows where to cut off a little bit extra so the shape will stay nice. I regularly get compliments on my beautiful hair style and color read more

100/10 would recommend Emmily! This was my first time getting my hair professionally cut , let alone a curly hair cut and she did not disappoint! Not only did she execute EXACTLY what I wanted, but she taught me so much about my own hair. She taught me ways to take care of it, products to you, techniques to use & more. And the products she recommended were affordable, so I appreciated that she wasn't trying to upscale a product when she knows there are some good drugstore options out there. Her personality is just amazing, she's easy to talk to and made the whole experience amazing! In my 20+ years of life I've never seen my hair this curly! read more

"I'm, like, the Disney princess of 389!" -direct quote when I went to the bar next door right after Emmily did my hair. Please go see her. She knows what she's doing, and even though she's been doing hair forever, she is constantly going to trainings about how to be even better because she loves her work. And she studied sculpture in art school! This helps so much with hair -- think about it. Whenever I leave her chair, I am glowing from the inside too because she has so much soul and love and integrity, which is contagious. She is also hi-larious. She did my make-up for a friend's fancy birthday, and we had to keep stopping because I was laughing too hard. So what's the catch? Maybe you're thinking, "It must be impossible to get an appointment with her"... Nope! She usually has availability within the week or two. "Okay, well I bet she's super expensive." Um, no, think again. "So she must be one of those super-positive people who just tell me what I want to hear." Still no. I've had a few ideas for my hair that just wouldn't work. She lets me know, and she's creative about finding other solutions that fit the spirit of what I want. And one time when I didn't like something, I told her and she fixed it, free of charge, free of ego, free of guilt. Trust me, you want Emmily on your team. She's got you. You know we're all gorgeous in Oakland. Let Emmily bring out your gorgeous-est self!! read more

Emmily is a true artist. I am very particular about my layers and my locks. It was love and loyalty at first cut. I have had long hair down to my low back and placed my trust in her to go dramatic with 12 inches donated to "Locks of Love". I walk out of the salon with a renewed confidence each and every time. I always get compliments from random strangers after exiting the salon as well. I found Emmily almost 2 years ago and have made the trip from Sacramento to Oakland. No one touches my hair but Em. I look forward to her doing my hair for special functions and wedding sometime soon. Emmily Bright puts her heart and talent into each cut I have had with her...did I mention her shampoos??? A must!!! read more

See all

I have curly hair. After moving from SF to Oakland, I wanted to find someone in the East Bay who could give me a deva cut. (Previously, I was going to Madusalon, which was great, but no longer convenient.) My boyfriend had been getting fantastic haircuts from Emmily, and he suggested I give her a try. I'm glad I did! She gives great deva cuts, colors my hair great, and is fun to talk to. Even when I haven't gotten my hair cut in a while, I still get compliments. read more

My fiancé recommend I get my wedding hair and make up done by Emily whom I had never met. I was a bit skeptical because my hair and make up have to be perfect for my wedding day! I went to see her to do a trail make-up. Not only was she extremely nice she made me feel at home and did an AMAZING job on my make-up! I will definitely post more pictures after my wedding day. I'm so happy I was connected with Emily, she is fantastic!! read more

If you want to feel beautiful and current in your look- go see Emmily! She has been my hair stylist for the past 3 years, and I've never been disappointed. I'm always changing my hair up- growing it out, cutting it off, dying it, highlighting it- and Emmily has been my co-creator in my different evolutions & look. I love the way she does color! Anyone who gets their hair highlighted knows that it's not a quick procedure and you have a lot of face time with your stylist- so you want someone cool you can talk to. Emmily is a beautiful person on the inside & out. I look at my hair session as fun because I know I'll get to spend some time in her charismatic field. I referred a client who has curly hair- and she is now a client of Emmily's too- not everyone can handle the curls! Emmily has also cut my 2 squirmy kids' hair- not an easy feat- and she's been awesome with them. read more

Emmily is a great person and a great stylist! She recently did my hair and makeup and my mom's hair and makeup for my wedding. My hair and makeup stayed put and looked great all through the night. Emmily was also very understanding and flexible when I had to cancel last minute before my hair trial run due to an emergency. She has also cut and colored my hair and cut my husband's hair and we were both extremely happy with the results. I highly recommend her for all of these services! read more
