Our Collective

Ae Salon is a collective of independent hair stylists and colorists at the top of their craft. Each stylist runs their own business under our roof while sharing a common commitment to precision, ongoing education, and thoughtful, evidence‑based care.

We stay current through continuous learning, bringing clients modern cuts, color, and styling that balance timeless wearability with fresh ideas. In our spacious Union Square loft, we aim to create an environment that feels welcoming, professional, and respectful of everyone who walks through the door.

Adrian has carefully built this family of stylists around shared values in craft, care, and client experience. If you’re looking to make a change, you’re invited to book directly with any of the professionals below and begin a long‑term, personable relationship with the stylist who feels like the right fit for you.

If you’re a stylist or colorist interested in joining the collective, please visit the Join Us page to learn more.

 

Adrian Elwell | Owner/Stylist/Colorist

Based in San Francisco’s Union Square, hairstylist and colorist Adrian Elwell brings over two decades of precision‑driven cutting and coloring expertise to the chair. Backed by seven Vidal Sassoon diplomas in cut and color techniques, Adrian specializes in gray coverage, corrective and creative color placement, and multi‑tonal, natural‑looking highlights.

 

Erica Peters | Stylist/Colorist

Meet Erica - Professional Craft Hairstylist

With over 30 years of experience in the hairstyling industry, Erica is a highly skilled and creative craft hairstylist known for her thoughtful, honest approach and keen attention to detail. She specializes in crafting low-maintenance hair color that enhances natural dimension-designed to grow out beautifully and effortlessly between visits.

Erica believes in building lasting relationships with good people who value her expertise and care. Her clients appreciate how well their highlights and haircuts wear over time, allowing them to book appointments when they want—not because they have to.

When Erica isn't behind the chair, you'll find her getting her hands dirty in ceramics, nurturing her garden, or snuggling up with her beloved dog, Rocco-who may just be by her side during your visit.

Erica works three days a week and does not take Saturday appointments. Her clients pre-book and respect appointment times to maintain the best possible experience.
