Erin
Salon Manager
I started doing hair when I was 13 years old and have been hairdressing 14 years this year. It’s taken me travelling and I’ve been able to see some beautiful tropical places with it. I am an extension technician and love the variety and use of extensions, they’re my favourite thing about hairdressing second to making the friendships I have with clients and team members. I moved over from Perth over a year ago and have loved the scenic change and what Mackay has to offer. I’m here with my partner and we have a cheeky little French bulldog named Stanley. Outside of hairdressing you’ll find me outdoors camping and exploring what Queensland has to offer. Fun fact, I can pop a champagne bottle with a chef knife.

I am originally a Sunny Coast girl, but have called Nebo and Mackay home for the last 10 years.

I absolutely love making my clients feel fresh and amazing, while treating them to a bit of me time. I am grateful to have the opportunity to leave them feeling better than when they walked in. My favourite part of hairdressing is playing with colour, with a special interest in blonde. I live with my partner and 2 boys soon to be adding a little girl to our tribe. Fun fact about me, I have no sense of smell after a horse accident.
