About Me
Hi there, my name is Erin Woolley! If I’m not behind the chair doing hair, you can find me either at the gym lifting weights, doing photography part-time, at a small venue concert, with my 2 doggies (Harley & Marshmallow), or with my family/friends! I grew up here in Albuquerque & have a great appreciation for the beauty that surrounds us here. I’m an introverted-extrovert; I naturally enjoy my alone time, but I also enjoy one-on-one connection with people. So, if you’re either an introvert or an extrovert, we’ll definitely get along!
I’ve been doing hair a little over 8 years. I trained and received my license through the Aveda Institute here in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I am very lucky to say that I truly love my job and the strong relationships that I have built with clients and fellow stylists. Although, it hasn’t been a smooth ride to get where I am, the things I’ve been able to achieve are my greatest accomplishments in life.
While in cosmetology school, I began working at a well-known salon here in Albuquerque where I began as a receptionist and then transitioned to a protégé role where my skills and knowledge were tested and challenged. I worked in this role for a year and was trained under master educators in both coloring and haircutting. While working under some of the best, I learned so much and grew my skills which helped give me build my confidence behind the chair.
Once that venture came to a close after 4 years, I began working at a small salon in Los Ranchos where I felt more at home with like-minded individuals who appreciated a calmer environment and where I was able to specialize in blondes and later, hand tied extensions. After working there for 2 years, I felt ready to become an independent stylist and a small business owner! I've been working for myself just over a year; creating a space where people can feel themselves and welcomed with open arms in my chair. Being my own boss, managing a business, while creating beautiful hair as been nothing short of fulfilling. Helping women feel confident and beautiful is such an important role to have; one I cherish very closely to my heart. I hope to serve more amazing women in our community and allow them to experience confidence through their hair!
