Emily has been in the hair industry for over a decade, starting her apprenticeship right here in Port Lincoln and eventually launching her own salon, InStyle Hair, in 2018. Described as driven, passionate, and warm, Emily brings a strong sense of purpose and creativity to everything she does. What started as a small space on Lewis Street has now grown into a thriving salon on Lincoln Highway, where she leads a team of talented stylists.

Emily is passionate about self-care and creating a space where clients feel pampered and empowered. She’s proud to have introduced Kevin Murphy to the region, drawn to the brand’s sustainability values and performance.

Her go-to products without question her two favourite products are K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask and Kevin Murphy’s Young Again Oil.

When she's not behind the chair, you’ll find Emily enjoying the Eyre Peninsula coastline or spending quality time with family and friends. As for her biggest hairdressing no-no? She’ll never compromise the health of her clients’ hair for a trend.

Taylah’s must-have products are the K18 Leave-In Molecular Mask and Kevin Murphy’s Young Again Oil. As for her biggest hairdressing crime? Using products that aren’t salon-grade a definite no-go in her books!
