Stylist Spotlight: Meet Emily – Senior Stylist with a Flair for Creative Colour and Precision Cuts
At Sobo Hair Boutique, we believe our team is what truly makes us stand out as one of the best hair salons in Edinburgh. Each stylist brings their own talent, creativity, and passion to the chair – and this month, we’re shining the spotlight on Emily, our brilliant Senior Stylist.
Emily’s Journey at Sobo
Emily joined Sobo in 2018 and has been part of our salon family ever since. Having started her hairdressing career in 2017, she has quickly built up a reputation for her technical precision, creative eye, and warm, welcoming approach.
When asked what she loves most about being a hairdresser, Emily says it’s all about the people:
“I love meeting new clients and hearing updates from my regulars. Every appointment feels different, and it’s a joy to be part of someone’s hair journey.”
A Passion for Highlights and Balayage
While Emily is skilled across all aspects of hairdressing, her expertise lies in highlights and balayage. These services allow her to combine technical precision with creativity – achieving natural, sun-kissed results or bold, statement colour depending on the client’s style.
“I really enjoy offering balayage and highlights because I get to see how happy clients are with their fresh new hair. It’s always a confidence boost for them, and that makes my work so rewarding.”
Whether you are looking for a soft, low-maintenance balayage or a bright, multi-tonal highlight, Emily has the skill to deliver beautiful, customised results.
Emily’s Top Haircare Advice
We asked Emily for her go-to piece of advice that she always shares with clients. Here’s what she had to say:
- Use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo – these are less harsh on your hair and scalp.
- Always condition after every wash, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends. This keeps your hair hydrated, manageable, and protected from damage.
Simple but effective tips that make a big difference to the long-term health and shine of your hair.
Emily’s Go-To Product
When it comes to must-have products, Emily swears by Kérastase Elixir.
“It boosts shine, helps seal split ends, and controls frizz. It’s one of those products that gives an instant finish but also improves hair health over time.”
It’s no surprise that this product has become a salon favourite for clients who want sleek, polished hair between appointments.
