Leicester's elder emo / goth / metal hairdresser
Vivid transformations, razor-sharp cuts and colour that outlives its ex. Award-winning. Wella Master Colourist. Zero judgement — the weirdest hair in the room is already seated.
The Set List
Six ways to leave looking like the main character. Everything starts with a chat — no surprises, no upsells, no flinching at your moodboard.
Fantasy colours, full-head melts, blacklight neon, cherry-red goth — whatever's living in your saved folder. Lightening is planned honestly: what lifts tonight, what lifts in stage two, and why.
Wolf cuts, mullets, chokhis, whispy emo chops, blunt bobs with attitude. Cut to sit how you live — with the fringe you keep threatening to commit to.
Skin fades, fauxhawks, undercut geometry, short-back-and-sides with a twist. Barber-trained precision for whoever's in the seat.
Box-dye horror stories, green tinges, band-aid disasters, "my mate did it" — no lectures, just a plan. Consult first, always.
Extra length, extra drama, hidden pops of colour under natural hair. Fitted, blended, and matched to your real life, not a photoshoot.
Alternative bridal, festival hair, gig-of-the-year hair. Veils optional; personality mandatory. Trials welcome.
Prices depend on length, condition and how ambitious the dream is — Emma quotes honestly at consult. DM the inspo and get a real number.
Palette Studies
Not photos — promises. These are the families Emma lives in. The real work, mid-melt and post-foam, lives on Instagram.
Poison Apple
Acid green over pale blonde — feral, photogenic, high-maintenance in the best way.
Ember Melt
Cherry to copper to a burnt-out base. Goth autumn, permanently.
Vampire Rose
Deep red-black that only shows its teeth under light. Office-legal until dark.
Cyber Slate
Steel blue-grey over cool blonde. Y2K rave hair, engineered for 2026.
Sunset Static
Pink-into-orange-into-violet melt with a static fringe. The full rainbow, argued carefully.

Behind the shears
Emma is the hairdresser the rest of the industry whispers about in the good way: a Wella Master Colourist who won Fellowship Project Colour '26 for vivid work, trained in barbering, and still genuinely thrilled when somebody asks for neon green.
She built her name in Leicester one transformation at a time — goth regulars, metalheads, emos past their "expiry date", brides who wanted purple. The self-styled elder emo bit is the joke; the award on the shelf is the receipt.
Follow the workThe Rider
Three steps. No app to download, no account to make, no deposit lost to a mystery website.
Send @emmafraser_hair your inspo, a photo of your hair right now (box dye included, no shame), and the rough dream. She'll tell you honestly what's doable in one sitting.
Every colour booking starts with a consult and a strand test — the hair gets tested before the full head, always. You leave with a plan and a real price, not a quote from a screenshot.
Playlist is yours to influence, snacks are negotiable, and you walk out as the improved edition. Aftercare plan included — colour that fades politely is a skill.
Liner Notes
Straight answers, in the same voice you'll hear in the salon.
Ask the rest in the DMsNot in this chair. The salon's demographic runs goth to granny and everyone in between. Nobody here has ever been shocked by a moodboard, only excited by one.
Lightening is lightening — it's not free for your hair. Which is exactly why there's a strand test, an honest plan, and sometimes a "let's do half tonight and the rest in six weeks." Healthy hair wearing loud colour beats fried hair worn quiet, every time.
It's not too late, it's a correction — different process, different timeline, sometimes two sittings. Bring the boxes if you kept them. No lectures; box dye is a 2am decision, not a crime.
Depends on the shade and your shower habits. Cool tones and reds are the dramatic ones; greens and blues mellow gracefully. Wash less, wash cold, sulfate-free shampoo, and you'll stretch it a lot further than your friends think is possible.
Yes. Barber-trained, so skin fades and precision short work sit right next to mullets and shags on the menu. Whoever's in the seat gets the same attention.
Instagram DM is the fast lane — @emmafraser_hair. Slots, prices and any deposit policy get confirmed there with Emma directly, because the diary and the rules are hers, not a booking site's.
