WE ARE AN AFFINAGE PROFESSIONAL CONCEPT SALON

 

Affinage is one of the fastest growing hair care brands in the world.  They originated as a line of permanent hair colour and has quickly expanded into an extensive portfolio of hair colour and styling products.  

We are proud to say that all Affinage Professional products sold at Emme Hair are vegan and cruelty-free and all Emme Hair extensions are ethically sourced and manufactured.

 

WE OFFER FOUR LEVELS OF PRICING AND AN INCREDIBLE COLLECTION OF TALENTED AND HIGHLY SKILLED HAIRSTYLISTS
 

Emme Hair hairstylists work on a level system that is determined by self-identified goals, client demand, skill and education. Each level has specific criteria and in order to move up a level, each hairstylist must achieve certain goals and maintain them for three consecutive months. As a hairstylist moves up a level, you will see a small increase in the costs of their services. This is reflective of the investment they have made in their professional development.

Veronica Gomes

Salon owner

@emme.hair

Veronica began her career as a hairstylist in 2005 and very quickly made the salon her second home.  When she is not busy leading her team at the salon, she is enjoying time with her husband Mark and their 2 beautifl children.  She began specializing in hair extensions in 2009 when her sister Maria lost most of her hair after pregnancy due to hormonal imbalance.  This led Veronica and Maria to launch their own line of hair extensions in 2015 called Emme Hair.  They wanted to present tools which would empower people to create their most beautiful selves.  Veronica opened the doors to her first salon in 2016 and outgrew the space immediately which led to the birth of Emme Hair in 2018.  Veronica’s passion for mentoring and teaching other hairstylists is what keeps her motivated to continue to expand her team at Emme Hair. She is a very strong technical cutter and her color skills are always evolving with the trends.  These are the skills that Veronica passes on to her motivated team of hairstylists. Veronica believes that the integrity of hair is always of paramount importance. She encourages her team to recommend hair styles and hair extension products that enable their guests to reach their hair goals and are easy to manage at home. Veronica especially enjoys teaching her team how to create long, gorgeous, and natural looking hairstyles using their own line of hair extensions, Emme Hair. She ensures that Emme Hair offers the perfect salon experience from beginning to end to each and every guest.  She truly believes that it’s every woman’s right to create her own beauty and get pampered every day of the week!
