Emily Pinegar, Owner of Salon M + Suites On Educating the Next Generation of Stylists through Apprenticeship

Emily Pinegar, Owner of Salon M + Suites On Educating the Next Generation of Stylists through Apprenticeship

In this episode of Ask The Color Expert,  I’m chatting with Emily Pinegar about her passion for educating the next generation of stylists through apprenticeship. 

Emily is the owner of Salon M + Suites, a female business owner with 32 years of hair designing experience, and has recently opened her salon this past March in Cedar Hills.  She owns the salon, works as a hairstylist, and is also a hair educator, which makes her stand out. She offers an apprenticeship program where she teaches students one-on-one in an intimate setting so that they can skip the beauty school process and go straight

to the salon floor after the apprenticeship with Emily. 


Emily also offers five rentable suites within her salon for local businesses to operate out of. She is extremely passionate about her team, her local community, and the hair industry as a whole.


As a mom, entrepreneur, and lead stylist in the salon, Emily is always hustling and busy. She can speak to anything under the umbrella of motherhood, owning and starting a business, and beauty in the hair space!
