Emily Chen

Global Ambassador

Emily Chen is a hairstylist, salon owner, and global educator with over 20 Years of experience behind the chair, and 16 years teaching stylists and salon owners. Known for her authenticity, humor, and no-nonsense approach, she’s built a movement around “real life salon education” - teaching in a way that makes complicated concepts simple, practical, and easy to understand. No jargon. No ego. Just honest, approachable education designed for real hair stylists & salon owners.

In 2022, Emily’s social media presence (@EmChenHair) exploded, now reaching over one million followers worldwide. Passionate about making education accessible to all, she continues to share free, high-value education online while mentoring stylists to elevate their craft and careers.

Today, she brings that same fearless energy as a Danger Jones Global Ambassador, representing creativity, authenticity, and community on a global stage.
