After leaving her hometown of Kansas City, Missouri, Erica moved to Nashville 5 years ago to pursue her dream of becoming a hairstylist. She was trained in Nashville at a pivot point school, where she received her cosmetology license. Soon after, she joined the team at Dion’s, where she began her training under salon owner, Richard Dion.
She loves Nashville and all of the opportunities it has given her. Since moving to Nashville, she has been able to do hair for many local Christian Artists, as well as Pop Star Lance Bass, of N’Sync fame. Erica loves using her creativity on location by being a part of photo shoots for print work. She also specializes in bridal hair and formal styles. She claims that modern trends and styles are what drives her. She loves to create fresh new looks mixed with classic style. Erica enjoys what she does, loves her clients, and gives thanks to God for her talents and success thus far in her career.
