Our Coven
Erin Backman
Owner & High Priestess of the Coven
I'm Erin, the sorceress behind Obsidian Hair Studio, where I've been practicing the sacred alchemy of hair color since 2015. I conjured this mystical space in 2025 as a sanctuary for fine hair magic - specializing in extensions that seamlessly weave into your daily rituals and efficient luxury color that transforms without overwhelming your delicate strands. I believe your hair should enhance your life's rhythm, not dictate it, so I craft each spell to work harmoniously with your natural essence and lifestyle.
My craft goes beyond surface beauty - I'm here to solve the mysteries of your hair and scalp, speaking truth and sharing ancient wisdom about caring for fine and thinning hair. Knowledge is power, and I'm constantly expanding my grimoire through new classes and techniques because every strand tells a different story. When I'm not brewing color potions with the coven you'll find me at home with my fanily: my partner and husband Van, our tiny human Westley, and our wonderfully chaotic pit bull familiar, Hazel, who keeps our magic grounded in love and laughter.
Cheyenne Folk
Hair Sorceress
Hey Hair Bestie!
I'm Cheyenne - a mountain witch who traded the Blue Ridge peaks for California magic in 2016. My closest circle knows me as the fun, caring, goofy soul who'll encourage you to embrace your wildest hair dreams. Your hair's natural essence is sacred to me. Whether we're conjuring length with extensions or performing multiple lightening rituals to reach your vision, I protect your hair's health like it's my own spell. Having fine hair myself, I've mastered the ancient arts of working with delicate, lower-density textures.
I'm obsessed with hair transformations - there's nothing like witnessing someone's metamorphosis through extensions or bold color alchemy. Want something completely different? I'm your witch! I love lightening all hair types, each requiring its own special incantations for flawless results. For cuts, I craft alternative styles like shags, mullets, and heavy layers that let your inner rebel shine. When I'm not weaving magic in the salon, you'll find me wandering Roseville or manifesting new DIY home projects with sushi and gaming sessions as my evening rituals.
