Hi I’m Erika and I’m 27 years old. I’ve been happily married to my best friend for 9 years! He has always supported me and has helped me bring all my dreams to life. So grateful to have an amazing man like him be mine. We have a beautiful baby girl, Ninaleia, who is the light of our life! She is the best baby girl one can ever dream of and we love her immensely. Can’t forget about our fur baby Zeus. He is the sweetest golden doodle you’ll ever meet. He’s such a character & thinks he’s a human! My station is surrounded by plants & I love it!
​
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!
