Erica knows her stuff. She sets standards so that her business can thrive and so that you can have a good customer experience. Only morons (usually people who fail the read the fine print) have issues with Erica. And those issues do not relate to her skill and experience. I highly recommend Erica for all of your hair needs and other services she offers. I've been going to Erica for over 10 years. She hasn't done me wrong and I doubt that she will.

Erica is amazing! I kept telling her over and over again that I was SO happy I found her lol! It's not easy moving to a new city and finding a new stylist, one who you know is always going to deliver and is as caring and sweet and passionate about her work as she is. She was a dream come true and I've been getting non stop compliments on my hair since I left her shop! Her appointment scheduling system is seamless, very well structured, simple, and super convenient. She is so communicative from the moment the appointment is scheduled to the arrival in her shop. She asks questions about the style you desire, your expectations, your hair, etc to ensure you get EXACTLY what you're paying for, and even asks questions before she begins to ensure there is no miscommunication - that is so appreciated, these days, and shows she truly cares about making her clients happy, satisfied customers. She has the sweetest, most down to earth personality which was so comforting while she was doing my hair. It was like one of the girl's was doing it lol! While I'm living in NYC I will keep going back to her for sure! LOVE MY HAIR! read more

Knowledgeable but overcharged; she charged $180 to remove a weave. I was interested since she lives near me and I'm transitioning to natural styles. I admired her advice about hair care; Inspire of my good experience, when she asked for $180 just for the weave removal my mouth dropped. I did say that's a bit expensive and her response was, "in your opinion". I paid her and left. She lost a person that could have been a long time client. It's not uncommon to need additional services during your appointment, sharing an out of market price, not smart. read more

Miss Erica is a gem she talks to you not at you to find out what you want and what will make you happy, I have not had braids in over 25yrs because I had Lox. I was afraid of letting anyone in my hair being that I had twisted my own for so many years and a bad experience. Thanks to Yelp and the reviews I read it made me seek her out OH! and her auntie just sold it even more when I went by the shop (LOL). I love how we collaborated with different hair styles and came up with the this one, she was able to find colors of hair to match my mine (which I had dyed of course). Before I left her shop I had already found my next look :-). P.S. The compliments from women & men keep coming thanks to my newest bestest friend. Hubby done went and gone jealous on me because I'm even more beautiful. lol! read more

Hey Erica. Just wanted to thank you for an enjoyable afternoon. I'm a leo, so you know, when I got home I had to check my mane. I'm inspired by your work. I can't tell where my established locs end and your crochet work begins. I'm difficult to impress. I'm impressed. To everyone else: I would encourage anyone with locs, new or old, to visit Erica for maintenance. Especially if they want the crochet method employed. She is an Artiste. She's travelled and well read. Can't beat that with a stick. read more

Erika is a doll! Very talented and educated. She nailed my crochet braids and left me feeling beautiful! read more

I wasn't sure if I was going to find anyone as professional and talented as my previous stylist and again yelp came to the rescue. After much research I found Hair by Erica. The website she uses to book appointments made it so easy to find the right date and time for me. The salon was easy enough to find. I was a few minutes early and we started right away. She was very gentle with her braiding, I didn't feel a thing. The only leave out I had was on top of my head. It took a total of 4 hrs to complete. It was twice as long as what I was use to but it was alright because we spent the time talking and sharing stories. At the end I was loving the hair and the work she did. I found my new spot! read more

I met Erica a few years ago, and primarily went to her for hair weaves. I had a half shaved haircut and I had a gorgeous long weave to go with it. Nicely laid, never came loose. I wish I had come with better quality hair because I had to take it out sooner than I wanted. In Jan. 2014 Erica cut off my damaged, relaxed ends so I could grow out my natural curly hair. PERFECT cut because I had no stray scraggly ends! My hair was full, curly, and 2 inches long, she retained all of my new growth and that was awesome! I moved away and unfortunately had an awful experience with a stylist who accidentally turned my hair yellow in an attempt to go blonde, but I came all the way back to Erica who fixed the other stylist's mistake that had me in tears. She evened my hair out to a nice light brown. Yesterday I went in to go red! A nice deep burgundy red. I know red is very tricky because there are so many shades. The color is PERFECT, my hair's very shiny, I keep staring at it in the mirror, I can't get over how beautiful it looks, and my forehead, ears and neck aren't red. I've seen my friends get their hair colored red and end up with so much staining on their skin. Erica is great and really pays attention to detail. read more

So- I'll make this brief bc if you read the other reviews, you already know Ms. Erica is awesome. After experiencing some breakage, I decided to get my VERY first weave in order to give my hair a bit of a rest. After reading the other reviews, I picked Ms. Erica and I am ever so glad I did. She's the best stylist I've ever visited and I've gone through quite a few. My appointment was for 12, but I arrived at 11:15 because it was snowing like crazy and I didn't want to be late. She was outside shoveling her walk way. Gotta love a responsible owner. She had just finished her last client and was more than happy to take me early and got right down to business. She explained the whole process, gave me a consult on how to take care of my actual hair / and the weave and even suggested products to help me. She has a great presence and wonderful chairside manner. I'm a bit tender headed and she's a gentle braider and did the cutest cut and style when we were done. I will definitely be visiting her again. read more

I had my hair done by Erica during Hurricane Sandy. She was nice and accommodating, even offering me to sleep at her place until it was over if necessary. Now on to what matters-THE HAIR. She has natural hair, so she is aware of how to take care of natural hair. I got a cornrow, and two strand twist hairstyle with hair added. I didn't have to take a motrin before and after like when I go to other hair braiders, but its still neat and I can tell the cornrows will stay for a while. She moisturized my scalp and treated my hair like I was tender-headed before I even told her. The only thing I can say a few days sown the line is that the twists are unraveling a bit. Even though I cant really do hair, I can figure out a way to get the twist back tighter. She has all the products needed. I only had to bring the hair. I would definitely go back. read more

At this point Erica has done just about everything to my head. From braids, weaves, a twist out (on my natural hair) and more recently highlights on a weave. Every single time I leave her chair I feel like a new woman and to top it off I know my very, fine and fragile natural hair is taken care of. I have been coming to her regularly for about a year and my hair is in the best shape it's been in my whole life. I have never waited for her or been rushed in between her doing another head. Her time is solely mines. She is also beyond professional, funny and a pleasant experience. Erica is a true master and I recommend her to anyone who wants healthy and luscious hair. read more

MixxTresses Salon - The epicness of these highlights are unreal. She was able to do exactly what I asked & the hair is soft & manageable. LOVE IT! - Hair Salons Near Me - New York, New York

I got bored of my long bob and decided I needed hair extensions. I had been told by other stylists that I could not get sewn in hair extensions because my natural hair is super straight. Being the stubborn girl I am, I contacted Erica as my last resort. After exchanging a few messages, she confirmed she would be able to give me long locks. The appointment itself was great: Erica is well-spoken and polite, the braiding was not painful at all and I felt like the time went by pretty fast even though the whole process lasted about 3 hours. My extensions lasted exactly 3 weeks and having long hair was as addicting as Erica had predicted. I'm definitely seeing her again! read more

So I found Erica through YELP as i needed an affordable stylist that did natural hair. She reached out to me earlier in the day to inform me that my appointment could be earlier due to a change in her schedule (thank you)! She provided me with a consult not only about my hair style but the products to be used . She washed and styled my hair within the time alotted (great as i had other personal plans). She kept up a easy going conversation during the process; i never felt obligated to say something or felt the awkward silence. I am looking forward to trying her again for a more everyday hairstle as what i got was for a special occassion. I got a mohawk with added hair twisted in the middle. I received so many compliments on my hair even now days later. read more

Erica is a quality hairstylist and she is extremely informative. I went to her for the first time today and I have to say she was the MOST Professional weave hairstylist I have ever been to by far. She treated my hair with such care and the end result was absolutely enchanting. I am going to utilize her again and again and again and again. Furthermore, I do not understand why there is one bad review on yelp, however I am convince that the "Nay A" reviewer lacks taste in talent because my experience with Erica was remarkable. She was worth every dollar I spent, Thanks Erica for taking the time to do my hair and making me feel like a new woman. read more

Erica is Fantastic! I explained to her that I knew nothing about hair and she was with me all the way. She text me to help explain how to do what I wanted done with my hair. She text me when I bought the hair. She helped with the design of what I wanted. SHE STARTED ON TIME! My head was not in pain when she finished and it only took her 2 hours! All the information you both need to know is on the website. You can choose your service and book the appointment at the same time. You also know exactly how much you will be paying before you get in. I found my new stylist! If you need a new stylist go Mixx! read more

I found Erica about 2 months ago through Yelp. She was professional, accommodating, skilled, pleasant attitude and knowledgeable. I had a consultation with Erica (highly recommended) I then scheduled an appointment for crochet weave. When she was braiding my hair I didn't feel one pull. It was pain free and super fast. The whole process was about 3.5 hours. It looked incredible. I kept getting compliments everywhere I went. If I wasn't so shy, I'd upload a picture. read more

It took me a while to find a hairstylist that offers a comfortable and memorable experience!I visited other salons that didnt care about the service :( I decided to call Erica based on previous reviews on yelp :) After a free consultation, I scheduled a time the following day All I can say was that Erica was knowledgeable and focused on my hair She was very skilled doing my extensions sew-ins.Her braiding technique was painless and she took her time to do my hair[no rush experience] Erica is a very caring and loving person that provides the very best for her customers. Thanks Erica for being so professional .I will come back very soon count on me ! read more

Erica is the absolute best. I had given up finding a stylist that I could trust. I am so glad that I found Erica. She definitely knows good hair care. I've learned so much about the dynamics of my hair in just one appointment with her. Erica's manner and personality put me at ease. She is very professional and approachable.I can't wait to try new styles and techniques with my hair, now. I will definitely be a regular client. read more

Erica is amazing!!! I was looking for a stylist who could do crotchet braids. I chose Erica based on customer reviews and photos of her service. I could not be happier. She provided a consultation along with options for my hair and listened to my concerns. She was gentle and explained what she was doing as she went along. She cares about healthy hair and is passionate about her work. Having not been to a salon in 13 years, transitioned from dreadlocks and dealing with hair loss. I felt very comfortable and trusting with Erica. She did an absolutely amazing job on my hair and I have received so many compliments. I am extremely grateful to have found her. read more

Erica was great. She was very knowledgeable and communication was above and beyond. I plan on becoming a regular client.

I was blessed and lucky enough to find this salon almost a year ago and I continue to be amazed! Erica, the owner and stylist, is a magician! I was desperate to find someone who would not only install a protective style, but care for my natural hair to guarantee health and growth. She does just that a much more! Erica is also very flexible with her time and open on Sundays, which is great for me a a teacher! I highly recommend! read more

A couple of years ago, I had my first slice of Sicilian pizza, and it was the best thing I have ever tasted. I have been chasing that dragon ever since. I say this because it's so hard to find someone really great with curly hair. Erica is the Sicilian pizza of my hair. I don't have to chase the hair dragon any more. I get to be the dragon. Fierce. read more

I'll make this short and sweet let's just say I wouldn't dare go back never in my life..!!!! After three days a had to consistently wear a hat that's how bad my weave looked ... I was soo mad ..!!!!! so she will get one stars because I had to put a star to post it but if so I would give her zero and she will get no $ from miss.nay read more

Erica was very friendly, professional and makes you feel comfortable. She answered any questions that I had and made me feel special. I got a weave done and had never had a lace closure before and was hesitant, but when she was done my hair looked amazing! She is a very good hair stylist. I live in DC and plan on traveling back to NYC every two months to get my hair done. It's hard to find a good hair stylist, but I have now found one :) read more

Erica is an awesome hairstylist! She has an amazing personality, she's very patient and genuinely cares about the health of her customers' hair. While she's braiding, she constantly asks if it's too tight, and she has no problem rebraiding, if you are experiencing any discomfort. Moreover, her hours of operation can accommodate anyone's schedule; she even works on Sundays and Mondays. The salon is very relaxing, and she really makes you feel comfortable. I'm so glad that I found her. I highly recommend this amazing lady! read more

I have had so many bad hair experiences that I no longer trust people with my hair. However, since I will be a bridesmaid for a bride who requested my hair be straight, I researched ALOT before I decided to go for Hair By Erica. Not only is she gorgeous inside and out, but she knows exactly what to do with hair. This has been my ONLY stress free hair experience. Impressed. read more

Overall experience with Erica was great. I was getting my first full head sew in and had a lot of questions which she thoroughly answered ahead of our appointment. My appointment was at 10am and I was done around 1:15PM, she was very detailed and advised me of everything she was doing through the whole process. Her salon is centrally located and really quiet, since she works by appointment only you get a more one on one experience and don't feel rushed. Already booked my follow-up with her--highly recommended! read more

Honestly I wish I could Erica six or seven stars. You can see from the photos and other reviews that she consistently does a stunning job, but I have to speak to her professionalism and efficiency. I am a student and strapped on time, and each time I've seen her she finishes my hair before less than the estimated time (it always looks fabulous). She has an excellent read on when I need to study and when I want to chat. What I enjoy the most though is how much thought she puts into all of my hair questions and concerns - I can tell she really cares about how to help me have the healthiest and easiest haircare regimen to fit into my busy schedule. If you are on the edge, go to her and see for yourself! read more

Currently here for school for the summer and needed my Locs done bad. Did my normal yelp search and saw that Erica had good reviews, so I had to give her a try. Booking my appointment was quick and easy on her website and I got in right away. When I arrived, the shop had a chill vibe. I got my Locs retwisted and styled. She really cared about my hair and treated it with respect and if you have traditional Locs you know how important that is. Erica is very down to earth and straightforward. Will def be going back whenever I'm back in NYC. read more

I've been seeing Erica for a few months now and I have a blast with her every time I visit her shop. She's very professional, friendly, easy to communicate with, and serious about her craft. She puts great effort into understanding both your hair and you as a client. Erica goes above and beyond that of an average hair stylist and makes sure that you leave her shop with a smile on your face. I'm glad I found her and I highly recommend her! read more

MixxTresses Salon - My crochet braids done by Erica - Hair Salons Near Me - New York, New York

Ms.Erica did my hair twice and it looked awesome the first time I got my hair done from her I was kind of nervous b/c that was my first weave but regardless she is the bomb and knows her stuff read more

Erica is very professional, knowledgable and efficient. She educates her clients on treatment for their hair, makes them feel comfortable and just her energy and excitement for doing hair is impeccable. I give the highest regards to everyone whenever she does my hair. Not only does her work speak for itself but she deserves the very best. read more

Erica has been doing my hair for 1.5 years. She listens to you and is an excellent consultant. You should visit.

I went to get my hair cornrowed by Erica today and I highly recommend her. She is professional and works with you to set an appointment time that works for you. I especially love that she did my hair and it was just right. In the way it looked and felt. She did not jack up my scalp and do it too tight. She also took her time not to pull on my edges. Erica is very aware of how to care for natural hair and I appreciate that. I will definitely be a return customer. This was my first visit. Her location is also accessible to the train so that is a plus. read more

I am so relieved to have finally found a quality hairstylist. I had a full head weave with a lace closure done by Erica and she did a great job. She braided my natural hair and it did not hurt (which is rare for me because I am very tender headed). The entire process took less than 3 hours, and my hair looks fabulous. Erica is professional, well spoken and above all, a talented weaveologist. She works by appointment only and scheduling can be challenging because she gets booked very fast. if all her bookings are filled, I would encourage you to send her a text, because people cancel from time to time and she may be able to fit you in even if online reflects that all appointments are booked - that's what she did for me. I went online and noticed that her earliest booking was 4 days away and I texted her on a Friday night, and she gave me a 3:30 pm appointment for the very next day because someone canceled. The fact that you are reading this, means today is your lucky day, you can stop looking, this hairstylist is the real deal. Book her. read more

After my stylist canceled on me two days before a vacation, I was desperate and overwhelmed as I searched online for a last minute option. I stumbled upon Erica's Yelp page and proceeded to read the glowing reviews of her business and services. I was immediately impressed by her website and the ease with which I was able to make an appointment. I was also pleasantly surprised when Erica contacted me soon after I reached out to her with a request to be fit into her already busy schedule. While the website and appointment experience were great, my visit was even better! Erica greeted my warmly by name and made me feel more than welcomed at her salon. I also go to meet and chat with her lovely family during my visit :) Erica did a wonderful job with my hair, answered my many questions about my natural hair and introduced me to great new products to boot! MY cornrow style lasted beautifully during 6 days of ocean and pool swimming. I will definitely be reaching out to Erica again and would recommend her to anyone in search of a caring and knowledgeable stylist versed in both processed and natural hair. read more

Erica was such a nice person! When I arrived I felt so welcomed, she immediately asked me if I want any refreshments, then gave me a glass of wine. Her station was really neat and made me feel like I was in a salon. She took her time with removing my extentions, so that no hair came out. Her wash station was amazing! so comfortable (Not like those hard sinks at the salon that hurts your neck!) When she did my hair, she handled it like it was her own, giving me great tips on how i should treat my hair. When finished I was VERY satisfied and booked my follow up for 3 weeks. I highly recommend Hair By Erica read more

Wow where do I begin, Erica's skills are AAMMMMAAZZZINGG!! I just got a sew in weave done by her yesterday afternoon and I was in love with the results. I left the salon feeling like a hollywood star. The braiding method was not tight at all which is a plus. She does hair in two different places; one is at this location which is her at home salon and she also does hair at another salon in harlem called Unbelievable Cuts which is where she did my hair. I enjoyed the atmosphere of the salon. Erica is very kindhearted and I could tell that she cares about the health of all her clients hair. She shared some very helpful tips with me on how to maintain my weave and also take care of my natural hair as well. Before I visited Erica I spent years going to Dominican hair salons whiched caused me to have crown breakage and split ends. I definitely will not be getting my hair done at any Dominican hair salons anymore.Her prices are very reasonable, which I love so Erica you definitely have a customer for life!! If your thinking about coming here please do not hesitate because this girl has the magic touch. When you make your appointment tell her Kathleen sent you. read more

I have to give Erica an excellent review because of her wonderful service! Not only is she professional and helpful but the quality of her work is amazing!! I have been coming to Erica for a year now and am so happy to have a permanent stylist in my location. She has graciously agreed to service both me and my bridesmaids during my upcoming wedding and I couldn't be more appreciative. She is patient and really takes her time to ensure that you leave feeling satisfied with her work. My full sew in weaves look fabulous and so natural looking! So thank you Erica, I love your work!! read more

She truly loves her craft. She's very professional, patient and truly cares about her clients. I am transitioning and its been rough but she always encourages me to embrace my natural tresses lol. She is always open to any style I wanna try and she gives me hair tips. I always leave SATISFIED & PRETTY :) read more
