Erin Stotesbery

Erin Stotesbery works as an independent stylist at The Garden Salon Collective in St. Louis Park. She began cosmetology education in 2004, trained at the Aveda Institute by her sophomore year of high school, and started working in St. Louis Park in 2008. In 2016 she joined a group of independent stylists there.

Her specialty is custom color, especially dimensional, low-maintenance color and natural, lived-in looks. She enjoys creating natural red tones and sun-kissed highlights. Reviewers call her skilled with color and upfront about what is realistic, and one review notes that she keeps notes on the color and highlights used for each client.

She digs into clients' everyday hair concerns with plenty of questions. Her aim is to share easy-to-follow strategies that extend how long a look stays enjoyable, and she finds the greatest reward in watching clients feel beautiful.
