Erin Kaulback
Owner | Master Hairstylist | Extension Specialist ​
Erin has always been artistically inclined; she moved to Halifax in 2012 to study law at Dalhousie and by 2013 was studying makeup artistry instead! Through the years she’s picked up many different skills and certifications in the beauty industry but hairstyling will always be her main passion — extensions, high impact blondes, major colour corrections, transformations and multi-session colours are her bread and butter — she really loves a challenge!
When she's not in the salon you'll find her in the gym, walking on the waterfront, checking out new restaurants (she's a MAJOR foodie) and hanging out with her cats Moira and Regina -- rarely spotted without caffeine in hand!

He is adept and passionate about creating colour looks and blonding that are low maintenance, blended and natural, but doesn’t shy away from big and bold colour transformations either.
