WHO IS EMILY MCCALL

I’ve been behind the chair for 17 years, and in that time I’ve worked in nearly every corner of the hair industry — from high-volume salons to private suites, from creative editorial work to hands-on education. Today, I’m a salon suite owner, a licensed cosmetology instructor, and an educator at Walk With Scissors, where I teach stylists to think critically about their craft, not just follow formulas or trends.

Hey, I'm Em.

With a Bachelor’s in Communications and Marketing, I bring a strategic lens to everything I do — from advanced cutting and texturizing techniques to color theory and consultation strategies. My goal is simple: to give stylists the tools and confidence to make intentional decisions, create hair that lasts, and build a career they’re proud of.

Whether it’s through a hands-on class, a mentorship session, or my podcast, I focus on thinking, experimentation, and mastery. If you’re a stylist ready to move beyond busywork, learn to see the artistry and strategy in every service, and grow your skills in a supportive, mentorship-driven environment, you’ve found the right place.
