The Emily Muhlbauer Experience
Where Luxury Meets Lived-In Locks
Our hair keeps a quiet record of the lives we’ve lived. Shifting. Strengthening. Softening with every season we move through. It remembers: a Sunday night french braid, a gum attack from a sibling, the bowl cut our mom gave us in the ‘90s, the saltwater from a late night swim in the ocean, a silk pillowcase purchase, the postpartum shedding making room for an expanded identity, and the grey tones that embody a rich, full life as a woman.
You see, our locks hold pieces of our past selves and visions of who we’re still becoming. That’s why in the studio, it’s never just about shiny strands or shade - it’s about meeting you where you are and honoring everything your hair has carried on your behalf. This is where transformation becomes ceremony, and care becomes a form of return to the most radiant you within.
Hair is Our Greatest Storyteller
I witness the women that come into my studio for their appointments. They’re: mothers, partners, sisters, daughters, caretakers, career professionals, founders, and, oftentimes, everything for everyone. However, just because they are busy raising villages and leading communities, doesn’t mean they don’t deserve to do something just for themselves and be taken care of too.
No 06. You Deserve to Be Taken Care of Too
I fell in love with hair artistry not for the color blends or brands on the shelves; but for the meaningful relationships I hold with the women in my chair. That deep connection and trust is the source of the work that I do, and I don’t take it lightly.
No 05. Meaningful Connection is Sacred
Luxury is not always loud or shiny or rushed. Some of the most beautiful, worthwhile delicacies are slow, steady, and meant to be felt.
No 04. True Luxury is Unhurried
I believe whole-heartedly that the locks that you’re living in are enough. When you come into my salon studio, we always look to maintain and enhance what you already have - whether you’re addressing thinning hair, adding dimension, or managing grays. Growing in harmony with your natural hair always leads to the best results.
No 03. The Hair You Have is Enough
Unlike stereotypical hair salon experiences; you’ll never find cattiness, gossip, or judgement inside my studio. We work one-on-one for a reason - to control your experience and bring peace to your good hair days. Dying to catch up and talk? I’m here for it. Would rather relax, work, and soak in you time? I’m here for that too. This time is yours.
No 02. No Dead Ends. No Drama.
I pride myself on maintaining an inviting, honest, and inclusive environment where you not only feel safe to be who you are; but have the space and privacy to express your story from root to end.
No 01. Warm & Safe Environment
Values that Guide the Experience:
Yes, however I do not have kids specific pricing.
Do you do haircuts for kids?
It varies depending on the amount of volume and/or length you want to achieve. Book a complementary consultation and we can chat about it!
How much do hair extensions cost?
The hair itself lasts around 6-9 months depending on how it’s cared for at home. I’ve seen clients maintain their hair beautifully for 12 months when cared for exceptionally well.
Some things that effect life of hair: hard water/well water, home care products, season (Wyoming winter is dry!), vacations (ocean water, pool, sun)
How long does the extension hair last?
How often do I need to maintain my color?
Meet in the middle. Don’t feel pressured to freshly wash your hair the day of. A couple days old hair is fine, but no more than day 3 hair please, dry shampoo and product buildup can alter color results.
Should I come with my hair clean or dirty?
Frequently Asked Questions
Because asking isn't selfish; it's sacred. It’s an act of naming and owning what you desire without apology. In this space, you’re invited to name what feels good, what feels true, and what you’re ready to step into; whether it’s softness, boldness, or something entirely new. Your needs are valid. Your preferences are honored. And your voice always, always belongs here.
Women are Worthy of Asking For What They Want
I’m a strand painting, hot yoga class chasing, never not in nature boy mom who believes a woman’s hair is her greatest storyteller. In 2007, I immersed myself in the beauty industry to explore the complex chemistry between science and creativity. & although I’ve made endless art along the way; none of it compares to the deep connections I hold with the women in my chair. In my private salon studio I exist to make your hair the most natural embodiment of you. The you that is alive, confident, and always the main character.
