Hi! I’m SUSAN AW.

Owner/Master Stylist

I’ve grown up in the Los Angeles area most of my life and love to create my art through hair.

As a mom of two, I believe it’s important to feel special, pampered and beautiful in an environment that’s warm and welcoming. I’ve created a salon experience that takes you away from the stress of your reality, at least, for a few hours so we can focus on you. One of my favorite things is being able to connect with my clients, whether it’s their first visit or a 10 year relationship. It really is girl talk, relating through everyday struggles, milestones and victories. I’ve been told that it feels like “hair therapy” and I’m here for it.

I’ve been a hairstylist for 10+ years and have never been more dedicated to my salon team, clients and craft. Through the growth of Em Hair Studio, I have since found fullfillment in mentoring others in the industry the skills I’ve mastered in building a successful business through technical skills & business management, thrown in with a little or lotta life advices.

I specialize in my Em Hand-tied Hair Extensions Method, color corrections, and multi-dimensional color. A good transformation and problem solving hair challenges gets me excited. My confidence over the years is definitely a result reflected from all my clients trust to “do whatever I think.” Makes me smile hearing that. I take great pride in investing in education for myself with hair extensions, advanced hair color, and business building courses which allows me to consistently bring my best to you.

When I’m not in the salon or hanging with my Em girls, you’ll most likely find me making memories in some fun kid friendly adventures or at some new food places scarfing down eats IG/TikTok told me to try. (Have you tried raw marinated crab?! My current obsession *drooling =P.)

Being at Em Hair Studio brings me so much joy. It’s important to me that every guest leaves feeling more uplifted, relaxed and confident than ever before. I simply love making the women around me feel their best!

You deserve to feel beautiful because you are beautiful.

I can’t wait to have you in the salon and for you to meet my amazingly talented team, so please keep reading…
