Erin Graham is a freelance hairstylist, educator, and consultant based in Chicago and working everywhere.
The daughter of two 9-5 weekend warriors, no one really knows where Erin gets all of her creativity from. She started at a young age taking art classes, naturally progressing to college for a BFA in painting when, after a few years, she (funny story) fell into cosmetology school in 2007. Her natural ability to network landed her a job in the prestigious Gold Coast of Chicago before she even graduated from cosmetology school.
A move to Chicago from her small hometown in Kansas for her apprenticeship in 2008 led to incredible training and contacts in the beauty and advertising worlds. Upon leaving the salon in 2011, her skill and growing client base allowed her to set out on her own where she has been able to grow a thriving business over the last 17 years!
Erin has been honored to work with top international brands and magazines, as well as leading figures in the art, music and fashion community. Film, Tv, Print, and Runway, she’s done it all. Bridal became center stage when her daughter started school in 2017. It’s allowed her to be a present mother AND chase her dreams! Here, her love for love and her keen eye for detail is allowed to thrive and she has become one of Chicago’s most sought after Bridal Hairstylists. She' is beyond grateful to work with nearly 60 Brides a year.
Consulting within the industry has also found it’s way to her and is becoming a small but very lovely part of her business alongside the classes she teaches all over the United States.
She is always excited when projects allow her to meet new people and travel to new places. Wink, Wink!
