Education is the key to success
Steven Eppler is a hairdresser with passion and always committed to beauty, while being humble and discreet.
His claim to the perfect hairstyle and competent treatment for every hair type is as individual as his clientele: young, old, famous, unknown, female, male and or just plain normal.
Eppler was born in Albstadt-Ebingen in Swabia.
At just 13 years old he was given the opportunity to spend several trial days at the renowned salon Sigi Riedel & Partner. This is where he later completed his full apprenticeship as a hairdresser and learned the craft from the ground up directly under Mr. Riedel: cutting, blow-drying, setting and styling – according to all the rules of the art of hairdressing. During this time he was also successfully involved in projects for the Reutlingen hairdressers’ guild.
​
In November 2007, after completing his training, Eppler became a partner and manager of the Riedel Hair Club on the prestigious Wilhelmstrasse promenade in Reutlingen. Two years later, he took over the position of operations manager and head of personnel at Cut & Color Team Reutlingen, further expanding his expertise in salon management and team leadership.
In 2012, driven by ambition and curiosity, he attended the Zieger Master School in Constance to refine his skills at the highest level under world champions Christin and Natalie Zieger – one of the most respected paths in German master training.
In 2013, Eppler moved to Gran Canaria in search of new inspiration and an international environment. One year later he opened his own sea-view salon in the CC San Agustín: “Steven Eppler – Trust in Beauty”. His technical skill, consistency and sense for aesthetics quickly prevailed; within a short period of time, a fully booked schedule and a loyal base of regular clients became the norm.
In 2016 he was admitted to Intercoiffure Mondial in Paris. Eppler is the southernmost member in Europe and the only hairdresser with this distinction in the Canary Islands, standing for the highest international standards and quality. This membership requires continuous participation in international seminars, advanced trainings and fashion collections; worldwide there are only around 3,500 selected members.

On Gran Canaria, in addition to his daily salon work, Eppler also creates hair designs for events and fashion shows, among others for the locally based magazine VIVA Canarias.
