A Space Built for Artisans
"Emerald symbolizes growth, vitality, and elegance. Green brings balance and tranquility. That's what we built here."
Emerald Salon & Suites was born from a simple but powerful idea: what if a salon could feel as good as it performs? Not just great results. A space where clients feel genuinely seen, genuinely cared for, and genuinely at ease.
Owner and master stylist Caroline Gehrls built Emerald on the boutique suite model. She gathered a collective of independently skilled stylists and estheticians who share one thing above all else: a deep respect for their craft and their clients. No assembly line. No rushed chairs. Just real expertise, delivered with care.
