Meet Erin Andrews
The New York Hair Colorist who introduced Cleveland to Balayage. Balayage is a French word meaning “to sweep”. Balayage is a hair coloring technique that creates very natural looking highlights which allows the hair to “grow out” without developing obvious and unsightly roots. Balyage gives your hair that “sun-kissed” look and this technique lasts longer than hair that has been colored using outdated “foils”. It takes years to perfect the Balyage technique and Erin did not just attend a few weekend classes in New York City to try and learn it.
After graduating from the Aveda Institute in Soho, Erin remained in New York City for eight years and worked at many of the top salons in Manhattan: Dop Dop Salon, Warren-Tricomi Salon and Serge Normant at John Frieda where she was able to begin learning the technique of balayage seven years ago.
While working in New York City developing her hair color and Balyage techniques, Erin learned from the best of the best in the salon industry and today she continues to return to the city and observe these leaders in the beauty Industry. While in New York Erin participated in America’s Next Top Model, the Hilton Project, Kimora Lee Simmons and The View. She has been featured and/or quoted in New Beauty Magazine, Modern Salon Magazine, NY beauty.com and the New York Post. After returning to Cleveland, Erin was featured on numerous occasions in Currents, Cleveland Magazine, and Clevelandstylista.com
Erin holds Warren-Tricomi Salon as the place that she received her most intensive training in hair color. Working closely with Joel Warren whose color is renowned in the world of hair color she was able to observe and learn invaluable coloring techniques from this industry icon. It also afforded her the opportunity to work on celebrity clients like Heidi Klum, and models from various top agencies in New York including Wilhemena Models as well as Ford Modeling agency to name a few. While employed at Warren-Tricomi salon Erin was able to learn and perfect the mastery of a beautiful sparkling blonde without ever comprimising the integrity of the hair as well as the ability to help create the perfect color for each individual client based on eye color, skin tone, maintanance level, trend and season. Erin's passion for color has allowed her to educate in some of the top salons in Manhattan and she continues learning and perfecting her own craft today through certification classes with celebrity colorists such as Nancy Braun at the L' oreal Academy Soho and assisting Joel Warren and other renowned Colorists at Warren-Tricomi salon in The Plaza Hotel.
Erin returned to Cleveland so that she could be closer to her family, especially her nieces and nephews, each one of whom she adores. She feels that she now has the best of both worlds – wonderful clients who appreciate her hair color expertise including Balyage, her tips on the latest in the world of hair and fashion, a strong connection to top beauty-industry professionals in New York that she is able to bring to Cleveland to share their expertise with clients and staff, and the ability to return to New York City frequently where she can be inspired by the creativity and excitement of the “city that never sleeps”.
