You don’t need to know the terms.
You just need to trust the process.
Hair that looks effortlessly elevated, works with your natural tones, and never stops looking intentional.
There’s a difference between hair that looks good when you leave the salon and hair that looks good every single day, in every season, through every grow out.
Most salons give you a great appointment. I give you a plan.
At Good Hair Era, every client leaves with more than a result. You leave with a system. a clear picture of where your hair is going, how to get there, and exactly what to do at home to make it last.
No guesswork. No Pinterest board required. No wondering if it’s still going to look right in eight weeks.

Just the most elevated, effortless version of your hair.

Emily Raney
color specialist, Ankeny native, and the person who will tell you exactly what your hair needs (and what it doesn’t).
I’m Emily Raney.
I started my career in Minneapolis, spent eight years perfecting color at one of Des Moines’ top salons, and returned home to build something more intentional: a private, one guest at a time studio where your experience is always the top priority.
My specialty is color that works with your natural colors. lived-in blondes and multidimensional brunettes that look stunning at week one and week eight.
