Back to her roots

Growing up just outside of Esbon, Emily Pierce started school at White Rock, where she went to school until fourth grade. She then went to Rock Hills where she graduated in 2015. After graduation, Pierce went to trade school. She now owns her own business, Country Roots Salon, which she has owned and operated for three years.

In her free time, Pierce enjoys crafting and playing with make-up.

Pierce met her husband when he came in to her salon for a haircut. They were married in September of 2019. Pierce has one baby and three dogs she considers her children.

At her salon, she does nails, eyelashes, waxing and hair styling. In March of this year, the COVID pandemic forced Pierce to close her business, but when she was able to reopen the first week of May, she had appoinments lined up for six weeks.

Before opening Country Roots, Pierce worked as a waitress. She chose Mankato for her business because when she had moved away, she realized she was homesick. She wanted to come back to a place where she knew everybody.
