Erik kicked off his career in the peaceful suburbs of Upstate NY, after deciding to explore a path different from his previous architectural design studies. His love for crafting beautiful and captivating shapes found the perfect outlet in hair styling, allowing him to express his creativity in a tangible way every day. His formal training took place at the vibrant and multicultural Edris Salon in New York City, before he stylishly made his mark in the fashion and editorial world.

Erik has now comfortably settled back into the salon environment and is continuously on the lookout for fresh sources of inspiration; from hair painting classes with Wella, to recently finishing an intense razor-cutting workshop with R+Co’s Howard Mclaren in Miami.

His clients vary from those who like to be meticulously groomed to those who prefer a more effortlessly natural look.

Erik was recently featured on Glamour’s Lipstick “The Secrets Behind Carly Cushnie’s Curly, Ombre Crop“. He also has been featured in Vogue Daily’s “Beauty Staple: Carly Cushnie’s Bleached Ombré Crop“.
