There are stylists who do beautiful hair, and then there are stylists who completely change how you feel about walking into a salon. Eryn Scherer is, without question, the latter. She is the kind of stylist who makes you feel like you have known her for years from the very first appointment — the kind who remembers not just your color formula, but how you take your coffee, what you have been stressing about lately, and exactly what kind of energy you need that day. As we continue celebrating Stylist Appreciation Month here at Bob Steele Salon, we are beyond proud and genuinely delighted to shine the spotlight on one of our most beloved team members. Nine years in the industry. Ten years as part of our family. And every single day, she shows up with the same warmth, the same artistry, and the same unwavering commitment to making every client feel like the most important person in the room. _
It Started Long Before the Salon Chair
Eryn's journey into the hair industry did not begin in a classroom or a training program — it began in the hallways of her high school, curling iron in hand, surrounded by friends who trusted her to make them look and feel their best. Before prom. Before homecoming. Before every milestone moment that called for a little extra magic. "I loved being part of those moments and helping people feel confident and put together," she shares. "That's what made me fall in love with doing hair."
What is remarkable about that origin story is how perfectly it reflects who Eryn still is today. She has always understood, even before she had the vocabulary for it, that hair is not just about aesthetics. It is about confidence. It is about showing up to the important moments of your life feeling fully, completely yourself. That instinct — the desire to be part of someone's best moments — has followed her from those early days all the way to the chair she occupies now, and it shapes every single appointment she takes.
Casual Chic: A Philosophy, Not Just a Style
Ask Eryn to describe her signature approach and she does not hesitate: casual chic. But do not let the simplicity of that phrase fool you, because what Eryn creates is anything but simple. Her work is elevated, intentional, and deeply personal. She gravitates naturally toward blonding — and more specifically, toward the kind of lived-in, low-maintenance color that looks like it simply belongs on you. The kind of blonde that does not scream "I just left the salon" but instead whispers "I woke up like this." The kind of color that stays beautiful not just for a week, but for months.
"There's something about creating a color that's fully customized and still looks amazing months later that I really love," she says. And that is the key word: customized. Eryn does not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to color, because she knows that the best hair is hair that works with your lifestyle, your maintenance preferences, and your natural texture. She takes the time to understand exactly what you want and exactly what will work for you — and then she delivers it with the kind of precision that only comes from years of genuine passion for the craft.
But here is what truly sets Eryn apart from so many talented stylists in this industry: her technical skill is only half of what makes her extraordinary. The other half is how she makes you feel while she is doing it.
A Chair That Feels Like a Safe Space
One of the most common things people say about finding the right hairstylist is that it feels like finding the right therapist — you just know when you have found your person. Eryn has an extraordinary gift for becoming that person for her clients, and she does it by doing something that sounds deceptively simple: she meets you exactly where you are.
"Behind the chair, I really just try to meet my clients where they're at that day," she explains. "I want my space to feel comfortable and easy — like somewhere you can just be yourself. If you've had a rough day and need to vent, I'm here for that. If you'd rather just chill, read, and have some quiet time, that's totally fine too. I always want my clients to feel heard — whether that's about their hair goals or just life in general."
Read that again, because it matters. Eryn is not just offering you a great color service. She is offering you a genuinely safe, judgment-free space where you do not have to perform or pretend or make small talk if you are not feeling it. She follows your lead. She reads the room. And whether you want to laugh and gossip for two hours or sit quietly with a magazine and decompress, she makes sure you leave feeling better than when you walked in — not just because your hair looks incredible, but because you were truly, genuinely taken care of.
"It's never just about the hair for me," she adds. "It's about the whole experience." And that, in a nutshell, is the Bob Steele Salon difference — embodied perfectly in Eryn Scherer.
The Art of a Seamless Appointment
For as warm and unhurried as Eryn's energy feels behind the chair, do not mistake her ease for a lack of intention. She is incredibly thoughtful about how she structures her appointments, and she approaches the logistics of her work with the same care she brings to the creative side.
Her most requested services are blonding and lived-in color, and over the years she has refined a process that makes even the most complex color transformations feel seamless and efficient. For first-time clients, she intentionally books additional time to allow for a thorough consultation — because she knows that getting crystal clear on the goal from the very beginning is what allows every future appointment to run smoothly. "Most people don't want to spend hours in the salon, so efficiency is really important to me," she explains. "After that first appointment, I structure future visits based on their specific needs, which helps keep everything running smoothly without unnecessary time in the chair."
It is a process built entirely around respect — respect for your time, your hair, and your trust. And it is exactly the kind of thoughtful, client-first approach that keeps people coming back to Eryn year after year.
The Moment That Changed Everything
Every stylist has a moment — a single, crystallizing experience that confirms they are exactly where they are supposed to be. For some it is a dramatic transformation that brings a client to tears. For others it is a compliment from someone they deeply admire. For Eryn, it was something far more profound, and honestly, it tells you everything you need to know about the kind of person she is.
It was not about her own work at all. It was about someone else's.
"The moment I knew this is exactly what I'm meant to do was through teaching," she shares. "Watching a stylist I've worked with finally have that 'light bulb' moment — when it all clicks — is the best feeling. Seeing them grow and go on to do amazing things in their career just makes it even better. That's when it really hit me — this is what I'm meant to do."
Eryn is not just a stylist. She is a mentor, an educator, and someone who genuinely invests in the growth of the people around her. She does not hoard her knowledge or her techniques — she shares them freely and joyfully, because she understands that when one of us rises, all of us rise. In an industry that can sometimes feel competitive, Eryn chooses generosity every single time. And the stylists she has mentored are better for it. This salon is better for it. And every client who sits in her chair benefits from the overflow of that generous spirit.
Recognized, Appreciated, and Grateful Every Day
When we asked Eryn about moments in her career when she has felt especially recognized or appreciated, her answer was both humble and deeply moving. "I honestly feel recognized and appreciated every day behind the chair," she says. "My clients — both new and long-time — have played a huge role in that, along with the stylists I've had the chance to mentor. Even on tougher days, I'm surrounded by people who support and uplift me. Sometimes all it takes is a simple 'thank you, my hair looks great' to remind me I'm exactly where I'm meant to be."
There is something quietly powerful about that answer. In a world where people are constantly chasing the next big milestone or waiting for some grand moment of recognition, Eryn finds deep meaning in the everyday. In the small thank-yous. In the returning clients. In the simple, beautiful rhythm of showing up and doing work that matters, one appointment at a time. It is a kind of groundedness that is rare, and it is one of the many reasons her clients are so fiercely loyal to her.
Ten Years, and Still Just Getting Started
Eryn has been a part of the Bob Steele Salon family for ten years. A decade. And when she talks about what that time has meant to her, the gratitude in her voice is unmistakable. "Being part of this team for 10 years has truly been such a blessing," she shares. "I've built so many meaningful friendships over the years that I really cherish, along with a strong support system both in and outside of work."
Ten years is not just a number. It is a testament to the kind of place Bob Steele Salon is — a place where talented people want to stay, grow, and build something lasting. And it is a testament to the kind of professional Eryn is — someone who shows up fully, invests deeply, and continues to evolve with every passing year. She is not coasting on her experience. She is building on it, constantly.
The Woman Behind the Chair
If you think you have Eryn figured out after one appointment, think again — because she is full of wonderful surprises. Outside of the salon, she is a passionate and avid reader who would absolutely love for you to follow her on Goodreads (yes, really — add her!). She treasures time spent with her family and close friends, and she brings that same warmth and authenticity to every relationship in her life that she brings to her clients.
And then there is this: Eryn has recently started training for a HYROX competition. For the uninitiated, HYROX is one of the most physically demanding fitness competitions out there — a grueling combination of running and functional workout stations that pushes athletes to their absolute limit. She will be competing alongside a close friend this fall, and if you know anything about Eryn, you already know she is going to show up fully prepared, completely determined, and ready to give it everything she has got. Because that is simply who she is — in the salon, in her relationships, and apparently, on the competition floor.
It is the kind of detail that makes you love her even more. This warm, creative, deeply empathetic woman who will give you the most beautiful lived-in blonde of your life and then go home and train like an athlete. She contains multitudes, and every single one of them is wonderful.
Thank You, Eryn — From All of Us
Stylist Appreciation Month exists because the work that stylists do matters — not just cosmetically, but emotionally, socially, and deeply personally. A great stylist does not just change your hair. They change how you walk into a room. They change how you face the week. They change, in small and significant ways, how you see yourself.
Eryn Scherer does all of that, every single day, with grace and skill and a genuine love for the people she serves. She has spent nine years building something beautiful — not just through the color she creates and the cuts she perfects, but through the relationships she nurtures, the stylists she mentors, and the safe, welcoming space she holds for every single person who sits in her chair.
To Eryn: we see you. We appreciate you. We are so incredibly grateful that you chose this team, that you have stayed, and that you continue to pour your heart into everything you do here. Thank you for making Bob Steele Salon feel like home — not just for your clients, but for all of us who get to work alongside you every day.
