    "I had several amazing vendors for my wedding but Jocelyn had to be one of the best. She is an absolute doll and pampered the life out of my mom and maid of honor - at the trail and on the big day. She stuck around after her assistant left to help me out my veil and see all of the wedding coming together when she was not obligated to. Aside from her kindness - she is one of the most talented hair stylists to exist. I swear I looked like a goddess when she was through with me and not a hair was out of place. She takes her time and makes sure you’re happy and comfortable with every Bobby pin. I love her so much and have recommended her to every bride I know. Book her you won’t be sorry."

    “Jocelyn’s bridal class was AMAZING! I brought four of my stylists with me from my wedding team and every single one of them said the class was so helpful. Jocelyn has a great way of teaching and sharing her tips and tricks that makes it easy to follow along and learn SO much! It was worth every penny and I would take another one of her classes if she is back on the East coast again!”

    “As a hairdresser, it’s hard to find someone you trust other than yourself on your wedding day, and Jocelyn exceeded every expectation I ever thought! I have a jam-packed head of extensions (so do my bridesmaids) and not only were they not visible, my style styled all night. I NEVER left the dance floor, swinging my hair and everything and that style was good the next morning. I felt so beautiful, not to mention she is the kindest person so having her with us the morning of the wedding was such a joy! From start to finish I felt so confident in Jocelyn and I will use her for every big event. Her talent is unmatched!”

Hey, there!

I'm Jocelyn

Welcome! Thank you so much for visiting my website. My name is Jocelyn Emerson, and I am a Bridal Hairstylist and Educator based in Cleveland, Ohio, specializing in Boho-inspired Bridal Hair Styling. I’ve been in the beauty industry since 2009, after graduating from the cosmetology program at Auburn Career Center. In 2019, I made the decision to focus exclusively on special event hairstyling—and I haven’t looked back since! It has been such a privilege to play a part in hundreds of wedding days and to connect with so many beautiful brides along the way. In addition to styling, I began offering Bridal Hairstyling Education in 2020. Teaching has truly become my passion—helping other stylists grow their skills, build confidence, and spark their own love for this industry is incredibly rewarding. Since launching my classes, I’ve had the honor of teaching in 19 different states, with plans to continue reaching even more in the future! Whether you’re a bride looking for timeless, textured styling for your wedding day, or a stylist seeking education to elevate your craft—I’d love the opportunity to connect with you!
