Hi the name is Erika. Im 25 years old and have been happily married to my best friend ,Sammy, for 7 years. He is my number one fan! He’s always supporting me and helps make all my dreams come to life. So grateful to have an amazing man like him be mine. We are expecting a baby girl May 2022 & so excited for this new parenthood journey! We also have a fur baby that’s a 4 year old golden doodle, Zeus. He is such a character & thinks he’s a human! I’m also a plant pothead haha everything I know about plants Sammy actually taught me and he’s lowkey the salon’s plant manager. My station is surrounded by plants & I love it! So to all my plant lovers you will definitely appreciate my station.
I’ve always had a passion for the beauty industry and thanks to my parents love & continuous support I was able to attend Paul Mitchell The School at the age of 18. Soon after, I worked at Drybar for about 2 years & was able to expand my blow drying skills. Then, found myself at my first full service salon, Pixie Glam. There I met some amazing, talented & ambitious women I can call friends. I got to learn something from each of them during the years I was there & will always be grateful for them!
I always envisioned myself working at a place where I can call my own, thankfully my good friend Stephanie was just as a risk taker as I am and both opened Beautiful People Salon with all the love we possibly could pour into, & of course with the help of our family. I’m forever grateful for all my clients who without, all this wouldn’t be possible. From the bottom of my heart, thank you all so much for continuing to support me & making my dream career so fun and exciting every single day! Now im ready to watch Beautiful People grow along with our team.
