STITCH Commission Artist Application

1

Hi Beautiful, I'm Emma! I started STITCH because I wanted to create the salon environment I wished existed when I was a young stylist, one that combines education, structure, creativity, and community. Today, STITCH specializes in Invisible Bead Extensions®, dimensional color, and hair loss solutions, but at our core we’re a salon built around growth. We believe in helping women feel confident while helping stylists build meaningful, profitable careers they actually enjoy. I’m passionate about mentorship, healthy extension work, and raising the standard of what salon culture can look like. We work hard, support one another, celebrate wins together, and believe that success is even better when it’s shared with a team.
