Meet your stylist
I’m Erica, founder of Down2Root, a safe space for locs and natural crowns to be nurtured in love, intention, and expertise. My journey with hair began as a sacred practice; One that reflects connection, identity, and healing. As a mother, a nurturer, and an artist, I approach every client with patience, reverence, and deep presence. My work doesn’t just live in the hands, it flows from the heart.
Why I do this
I believe in honoring what grows from us and what grounds us. In this space, your hair is celebrated and cared for like the treasure it is. My chair isn’t just a place for retwists, it’s a sanctuary. A ritual. A return to self.
How I work
Gentle hands. Intentional rhythm. Deep listening.
I prioritize comfort, authenticity, and ease. Whether you’re coming in for a refresh, repair, or your first grounding session, I work with presence and purpose. I take my time to understand your hair, your lifestyle, and your intentions because your care should be as unique and sacred as your crown. Expect a soft atmosphere, earth-toned calm, and care that's rooted in love.
Fun Facts about me
- I love houseplants. They’re my mirror and my meditation.
- I’m a mom to two beautiful girls who keep me grounded and giggling.
- Music and silence are both vital to my creative flow.
- I started this journey as a way to stay close to myself and it led me closer to community.
