Erin Kaulback
Owner | Master Hairstylist | Extension Specialist
Makeup Artist | Lash Tech
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! She is all about conquering the insurmountable and making your hair dreams come true.
On Erin’s day off (when she takes one) you can find her sleeping in, brushing up on hair education and hanging out with her cats Moira and Regina. Most often spotted with a coffee in hand!

Devin Knezacek
Master Hairstylist | Artisan
Devin joins Seven Collective with over ten years of hair styling experience! 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. He finds particular joy in making people feel radiant and at their very best regardless of if they want a big change or a simple trim.
When away from the chair, he spends a lot of his time crafting, drawing, sewing or working on his newest passion, beadwork. He's truly at his happiest when he's creating, and he views hair as another satisfying medium to create with!
