My name is Erin Rish, and I was born and raised in Lexington County. I’m a proud graduate of Lexington High School, where my passion for cosmetology began.  I continued my education at the University of South Carolina and Liberty University.

I’m also a mom to three teenagers, who continue to shape who I am both personally and professionally.

I have been behind the chair for 25 years. Throughout my career, I have specialized in color of all kinds and trends, keratin treatments, and haircuts for all ages. While I love the artistry of hair, my true calling is helping every person who sits in my chair feel confident, beautiful, and truly cared for when they leave the salon. I value building genuine relationships with my clients, listening to their needs, and creating looks that reflect their individuality and lifestyle.

Palmetto Roots Salon is welcoming, inviting, and family-oriented — the perfect balance of professional and fun in a relaxed, down-to-earth setting. When you sit in my chair, you’re not just a client — you become part of the Palmetto Roots family.
