While she now likes to consider herself a haircut essentialist, Erica’s original inspiration for becoming a haircut specialist was an idea to marry the elements of creativity, personal style, and rituals of transformation. If supporting a healthy planet could be incorporated? She could imagine a lifetime career. Here we are 26 years later. A native Seattleite, Erica has been a stylist here in the Aveda network the whole time. While she loves all lengths, styles, and textures, she has a special affinity for waves and curls. She brings a soothing, mindful presence to her services, underpinned by a substantial well of experiences spanning practical, creative and knowledgeable. She’s a great troubleshooter too. Erica’s love for the natural world has led her to study things like wild-crafting, ecopsychology and occasionally exploring other lands.
