Erin Ahern

I’m Erin Ahern—stylist, bridal specialist, extension artist, and someone who truly loves what she does. With over 28 years in the salon industry, my passion for helping people feel confident and beautiful has only grown stronger.

My career began in Atlanta, where I trained at Van Michael Salon,  learning from some of the most talented artists in the business. Those years laid the foundation for everything I do today—precision cuts, effortless styling, gorgeous bridal looks, and so much more.

After eight amazing years in Atlanta, I moved to Chicago for a fresh start and new opportunities. For 18 years I had the joy of working at a top Chicago salon, training up-and-coming stylists, working with hundreds of brides, and building a truly special community of clients I adore.

Three years ago, I took a leap and left the hustle of the bustling city salon to open spaces I had always dreamed of. I wanted something more intimate—somewhere peaceful and personal, where my clients could truly unwind and feel seen, heard, and cared for. Creating that kind of experience has been the most fulfilling chapter of my career so far.

Outside the salon, I’m a wife, mom to amazing boys, and their #1 fan on the sidelines of every game. And now, I’m stepping into an exciting new chapter—opening my own private studio space where the vibe is calm, personal, and all about you.

Whether you’re here for a total transformation, a quick refresh, or just a quiet moment for yourself, I can’t wait to welcome you in, connect, and make you feel right at home in my chair.
