Our Story

Vamp Salon opened in 2011 — two sisters, Erika Creston and Katie Miller, with a shared love of the craft (and Erika’s husband James behind the scenes). We spent our first decade in Oakley, had a creative chapter in Antioch’s historic Rivertown, and today we’re home in downtown Brentwood on Balfour Rd.

From the start we’ve been driven by two things: creating hair people love, and growing the next generation of stylists. That’s why every Vamp stylist moves through a real craft journey — so whoever sits behind your chair has been trained to our standard. Icons are made here.

Meet the Vamp Team

Every stylist at Vamp grows through a craft journey — Assistant → Stylist → Senior Stylist → Independent Senior Stylist. It’s how we make sure every guest is cared for by someone trained to our standard.

Angela & Adrian H.   ★★★★★

“Had extensions put in for the first time and it was a game changer! The stylists are really nice and all really amazing. Erika is my new hairdresser hopefully for many many more years to come. My hair has never looked and felt so good!”

G Y.   ★★★★★

“This is the first time I’m truly satisfied with my hair color — it looks so healthy and beautiful. Brooke is a true artist. She worked so carefully on my damaged, fine hair and made sure everything was perfect. She even stayed late just to make sure I was happy.”

“Katie was fantastic!! I was browsing for a salon for a while since I’m new to the Brentwood area, and she understood my vision perfectly. I’ll be coming back soon :)”
