A Curiosity for Physical Therapy

While styling hair is a passion for her, physical therapy would be her alternative career path. “I love the physiology,” she said when asked about this choice. It makes sense as a career choice since her favorite part of styling hair is getting to work with and meet new people. “I love it when a client decides to get creative because it allows me to expand my horizons and theirs,” she explained excitedly. This same interest could definitely be helpful in physical therapy along with a positive attitude to help people through difficult times!

Who Would Have Thought?

A surprising fact is her love for fly-fishing, which got its start thanks to her husband. “I figure if you can’t beat them, you might as well join them!” she explained. They frequently fly fish in the North Carolina Mountains, on the beach, or wherever else they get a chance to go. “It is a way to relax and escape the busy lifestyle so many of us lead,” she continued to say.

A Few Interesting Facts

Since becoming a mom, her daily routine has experienced a few changes. “I just saw Sophia the First and Curious George,” she said when asked about what cartoon character or superhero she would be. “I don’t think I would want to be either one,” she said, “However, if I had to choose, Curious George is the better choice.”

As far as music tastes, she listens to about everything. “I have been getting ideas from clients lately,” she said, “I’m not even sure what the genre is, but we listen to it regardless!” She also spends one on one time each day with her dog Zayda. “Even though she is a girl, we picked out a non fru-fru name because she is a German Shepard,” she explained.

Why She Choose Suite Nectar

Every salon owner has something specific that attracted him or her to Suite Nectar. “Location, location, location!” she exclaimed when asked about the driving force behind Suite 121. Many of her clients have been referred by word of mouth. “Networking is essential,” she said when asked about advice to new stylists, “You have to get out, meet people, and learn about the community where you work.” Consistent interaction with clients and the community has been a big contributor to her continued success and Suite Nectar is happy to be part of the journey!

A Tale About a Boy

Erica made her way to Charlotte from Binghamton, New York after meeting a boy. “I met him through my best friend while attending Nationwide Beauty Academy in Ohio – it is her brother,” she said. While it is a common tale, this one has a successful twist, as the move helped her down the path to owning her own salon.

In Her Free Time

During a spell of free time, you might find her watching her favorite television show: Big Bang Theory. Who is her favorite character? “Sheldon. He is just crazy and out of his mind,” she said. Running a salon definitely changes the way you spend your free time without regret!  She shared “I can’t remember the last movie I saw!” “OH!  I watched the Grinch at the Speedway Christmas event, it was all lit up and just awesome.” She said. A must-see and do!

Favorite Superhero?

Everyone has his or her own favorite superhero whether it is Batman, The Hulk, or Captain America.  But for this super star, it’s Wonder Woman. “She is amazing!” she said. Many like Wonder Woman’s super snazzy belt, but Erica is fascinated with another trait of the superhero. “I like her hair of course!  Texas housewife hair, I call it,” she said.

Hair Color: It’s the Bomb

The variety and options involved with coloring hair is one of the many things that inspires Erica as a stylist. “Every person’s color is different from everyone else’s, even if they are a basic red or brown,” she said,   “I love to mix colors and to make it my own.”  Her advice for new hair colorists? “Have fun with it. Don’t take it too seriously.”

Why Suite Nectar and Suite 101?

One morning, while browsing the Internet, Erica stumbled upon Suite Nectar on Craigslist and it caught her eye. “I liked the homey feeling and the environment.” When she came in to meet George, he actually looked like a maintenance man and was working on our space.  He was so down to earth. It was perfect,” she said.

Her initial pick was Suite 136, but shortly thereafter, her attention was directed to Suite 101. “It feels like the first suite you see when you walk in our door,” she said and then continued, “I love the layout. It is right out in front with windows.” For Erica, the decision to move to Charlotte and a lucky find on the Internet has grown into a unique opportunity for which Suite Nectar and all of Erica’s clients are grateful!
