Emerald White

Making their way to NYC  from Cincinnati, Ohio, Emerald discovered a passion for hair early, experimenting on friends and crafting up-dos for school dances long before formal training. Now a stylist, they see hair as a powerful tool for self-expression, a way to bring your inner identity to light. This perspective is deepened by their own gender journey, which has refined their ability to reflect a client’s most authentic self with genuine insight.

Trained at Aveda and under mentors like Sean Gispert and Nico, Emerald specializes in a signature style that blends modern edge with classic shapes, often using a razor to create effortless movement and texture. They also have extensive experience in working with curly and textured hair, creating voluminous looks like wash and go’s and twist-outs. Their background in caregiving, from youth camps to adult care, brings a warm, collaborative presence to the salon, where they love partnering with both clients and colorists. The result is happy, healthy hair that feels confidently and beautifully you, supported by expert product knowledge and a shared creative vision.
