Erin Hassan | Owner & Founder
Specializing In: Organic Color • Precision Cuts • Holistic Scalp Health
Hi, I’m Erin — hairstylist, herbalist, and the heart of Hemlock. I started Hemlock because the beauty industry is wasteful, and I knew there was a better way.
For years, I watched brilliant stylists use toxic products and “natural” salons deliver mediocre results. As a hairstylist and herbalist, I refused to accept that compromise. As a mother, I couldn’t ignore what we’re breathing in salon chairs or washing down our drains.
So I created what I needed: a place where exceptional cuts and color meet clean beauty and holistic wellness. Where you’re nourished from the inside out. Where your nervous system gets to reset.
After 20+ years behind the chair, including a decade on Van Michael Salon’s education team, advanced Sassoon training, and three NAHA nominations, I merged my hair expertise with my training in Ayurvedic wellness, traditional Chinese medicine, and herbal healing.
When you sit in my chair, you get someone who sees the whole picture: beauty that doesn’t compromise your health, and a sanctuary experience that cares for your entire being.
