Business Owner

My name is Erin Riera and I am the hair alchemist at Alchemy Lab. I’m just a small town girl, living in a fabulous world. I have worked with the best in the industry, and education is my top priority. I love to do hair because it is something that people think they are sometimes powerless over, and I love to help them find their power and confidence over our best accessory we wear EVERY DAY!

Erin is the best! I started having her style my hair when I moved to SD in the fall of 2014. My hair was a mess as it got use to the water here. Erin is so knowledgable about the latest treatments to get your hair healthy and looking it’s best. I’m so excited that she’s got her own place now. The products she uses and recommends are amazing! Plus she’s super fun and chill. I look forward to catching up and seeing what she recommends at each appointment.

I’ve been trying to get my hair the perfect shade of cool platinum blonde (almost but not quite silver) for as long as I can remember. I was just about to give up on this and head back toward my natural color (meh reddish brown) when I met Erin. From the second I sat in her chair I was confident that she was going to make all my all of my platinum dreams come true. She explained the entire process to me (how we were going to overshoot to a violet grey and it would fade to the exact color after a couple of washes… which it absolutely did) and I was happy and comfortable the entire time. I don’t think calling her a color genius is an exaggeration. I am a believer!

Erin is so knowledgable about what she does and I love that she explains how everything works. Every time, I leave with my hair feeling healthier and better looking than ever! I live in LA and the drive is so worth it. I won’t go to anyone else if I can help it!

I’ve been going to Erin for about a year now and I love her. She’s a talented artist when it comes to coloring my hair, incredibly knowledgeable about how to make my hair the best it can be, and she’s constantly pushing herself to learn more. In addition to being an amazing hair stylist she’s easy to talk to, texts me to check on my hair after I’ve had it done, and is an overall fantastic human being.
If you had something terrible done to your hair she can fix it. If you need miracles to be worked she can do them. Seriously, this is the best hair dresser I’ve ever had and I’ve had quite a few.

Erin is the best! I came to her with dry, thinning & splitting ends and she has completely turned around my hair-​health in just a few sessions. Her color knowledge and product recommendations are always on point (she’s so much fun to hang with too). If I could take her with me and have her shampoo/​scalp massage/​blow dry my hair daily… trust me I would in a heartbeat!

Erin’s a talented stylist, extremely knowledgable, with a true passion for what she does. Super friendly and I loved the scalp massage she did while shampooing my hair. She does amazing work with vivid colors and subtle highlights alike. Great place to relax while getting your hair done!

Erin is a HAIR GENIUS. I would follow her anywhere. I couldn’t be HAPPIER that I found her. I went from damaged, straw like hair to super healthy, long, beautiful and shiny (plus I have super long hair which is hard to keep up but it looks incredible now). I get so many compliments on how amazing and healthy my hair is. I’ve gone a lot of different directions with colors with her and have loved them all. She’s always super supportive, gives great input and will always do things the healthiest way possible.
She’s super knowledgable when it comes to products, hair types, colors, styles, etc. Always up to date on stuff and knows all of the science behind everything and can explain chemically why colors, products, environments, etc do what they do. She will put you on a regimen to get your hair alive and healthy specific to you.
Last– if you want a slight trim, SHE KNOWS WHAT A SLIGHT TRIM IS. Everywhere else I’ve been when I ask for a non noticeable trim they chop too much but erin gets it! Haha
Highly recommended!

I will follow her wherever she goes! Erin is the best! She knows how to manage my crazy hair and crazy hair ideas. I’m always wanting something new and having black hair kinda sucks. She’s taken me blonde then dark then blonde then dark. Hahaha. I’m a nightmare but erin always protects my hair and is always concerned about not damaging it despite my crazy ideas! She’s always positive too which makes seeing her so much fun. Her color is magic and her cuts are perfection. Hair is 80% your look. Choose wisely. Choose erin!
See my previous review of her from style lounge!

Erin is AMAZING with hair and has a great personality that makes you feel super comfortable!!! I have been going to her for 3 years and she did a great job every time! She has colored my hair dark brown, ombré, and sun-​kissed balayage and I loved it every time! When I am not quite sure what I want to do to my hair, then she does a great job with asking me questions and doing a settle but noticeable change. She is very educated and knows what she is doing! Her new studio is super cute and even has complimentary coffee, tea, water, or wine. Also, she knows her products very well and has great recommendations to fix any breakage I have with my hair.

Erin has done SO many amazing things with my hair! From balayage to fashion colors, and now she’s doing my extensions! The studio is so cute, and Erin is so chill to talk to and makes the time fly when I’m gettin my wig right. She can do it all, from sun-​kissed balayage to traditional foiled highlights and always keeps my hair at its healthiest! This girl can do it all and you’ll walk out feeling like a bo$$!

Erin is absolutely incredible! She makes you feel very comfortable and knows what she is talking about! It seems like she really cares about her clients because I wasn’t very knowledgeable about my hair or anything but she gives great tips and advice. It’s nice because her salon is just the two of you so it seems more personal and there isn’t the typical craziness going on like with other salons. She is really fantastic and I’m glad I was able to find her!

Erin is the best! Knowledgeable about all things related to hair: color, cut, conditioning, and products. She is a great combination of talent, professionalism, and super cool personality. It is a pleasure to spend time at the salon when she is working her magic. I get so many compliments about my hair after seeing her. In the words of Zoolander, she will make your hair «ridiculously good looking.»

Erin has been doing my hair the past 4 years and I’ve been so happy with the end result every time. I like to change my hair, ALOT!, So she keeps me up to date with the latest trends, educates me on proper ways of taking care of my curly hair, and she is amazing at recommending products that will WORK FOR ME! She is very personable and a true professional. Thank you Erin for always taking care of me and my hair! I’d be a huge frizz ball without you!!.
PS!, this salon carries KERASTASE!!.
