At Holistic Root Collective, our mission is to nurture beauty and wellness from the inside out. We believe that true self-care goes beyond the surface—it’s about feeling rooted, whole, and supported in mind, body, and spirit.

What?

Holistic Root Collective is more than a salon—it’s a wellness-centered space designed to care for the whole person.

• Natural Haircare & Treatments – specializing in locs, natural styles, scalp health, and restorative treatments that support healthy, thriving hair.
• Wellness-Informed Haircare – where conversations about health, nutrition, and self-care are part of the experience.
• Intentional Conversation – creating space to connect and support your overall well-being while keeping things relaxed and natural.
• Goal Setting & Resources – from SMART goal–setting sessions, workshops, and programs to connections with mental health professionals and local support.
• Community Events – blending movement, mindfulness, and nourishment to encourage growth and connection.

Salons have always been sacred spaces—places where women feel cared for, heard, and supported. Over the years, we’ve seen how deeply beauty and wellness are connected: what we put in our bodies, and what we carry emotionally, shows up in our hair, skin, and spirit.

Holistic Root Collective was created to put wellness at the forefront, while honoring the beauty rituals that make us feel confident and whole. Our purpose is to help people heal, grow, and thrive from the inside out.

Meet the Founder

Erin Savage is the founder of Holistic Root Collective, a space created to honor beauty, wellness, and wholeness from the inside out. With over 20 years of experience as a cosmetologist, Erin has witnessed firsthand how a salon chair can become more than a place for beauty—it can be a space for healing, connection, and truth-telling.

Her work as a hairstylist revealed a deeper calling: clients often shared their struggles, dreams, and stories while in her care. This inspired Erin to return to school and pursue a degree in counseling psychology at the University of Baltimore, where she continues to deepen her understanding of mental health and her commitment to serving others. In addition to her studies, she mentors first-year students through the University’s Office of Student Support, helping them navigate the transition into college life with encouragement, guidance, and care. In this role she was awarded 2025 Mentor of the year and earned a certification in Mental Health First Aid.

Erin also extends her passion for mentorship into the community, where she has supported young entrepreneurs through local programs and nurturing the next generation of changemakers.

Her vision for Holistic Root Collective is to create a sacred, healing-centered environment where beauty and wellness intersect. Her mission is to help people feel rooted, seen, and empowered to embrace their whole selves.

🌱 “My hope is that every person who enters this space leaves feeling more grounded, more radiant, and more connected to theirself self than when they arrived.”
