Erin is incredible--so down to earth and easy-going with great recommendations for what to do with your hair. She's honest and transparent about her pricing and approach, and most importantly she does GREAT work, and you'll walk out of her salon feeling fabulous.
I discovered Erin from a Nextdoor recommendation a few months ago. She is fantastic! She fixed my color after I had a bad experience with another stylist. She makes me a priority when I'm in her chair and I enjoy talking to her. I also love the tranquility of her salon. The whole experience at Erin Thomas salon is wonderful for me!
Erin is my hair GURU!! I love the way she creates exactly what I hoped for. This is my 3rd time - my last cut (trim) was 4 months ago, and she consistently demonstrates awesome hair cutting skill and talent! Plus, she is always looking out for my best interest... Example of how HONEST and FAIR and WISE and HELPFUL she is: This time I came to my appointment saying that I thought I really needed to do a some kind of extra treatment - like a "cellophane coating" or hair coloring - in order to fix the lack of volume and "shine" that I used to have. Erin listened to me, and very kindly suggested we wait and see what it looks like after this cut, and then decide if I wanted to do a chemical treatment to my (currently "virgin") hair, which she'd be glad to do. [I know she's REALLY good at color and highlights - I've met other clients and seen her beautiful work]. So, after she cut and styled me, my hair looked very healthy again - she was right! It just needed the cut to bring it back to "life"... clearly, Erin is not driven by a "profit motive" - and for this I am extremely grateful. She offered, although not encouragingly, to still do the chemical treatment, at a very reasonable cost, if I still wanted it. When I agreed that she was right, it looks great now after her cut, she seemed really happy that I trusted her suggestion! She then, very accurately, recommended that I use a natural clarifying shampoo to reduce product build-up, which reduces shine - so right! She also referred me to a styling product for extra "shine" if I might want to try that, as well. Erin is one of those rare combos - extremely talented, ethical, helpful, and down-to-earth FUN!
