Owner, hair stylist, nail technician and educator, Erica Wright is a multifaceted, licensed cosmetologist with over twenty-five years of professional experience in the beauty industry. “I love providing beauty and timely quality care in a relaxing atmosphere,” Erica said, “I love seeing the look on customer's faces when they are transformed.”
With certifications in natural hair care, lash and hair extensions, pedicures and nail enhancements, before opening the W Salon, Erica was an independent contractor whos current salon was about to close. After searching for a place to call her own that “offered beauty, the latest trends, quality care and education in a prompt and professional manner,” Erika opened the full-service W Salon in 2017.
Erica and the skilled W Salon team members have over forty years of combined experience and are constantly continuing their education as trends, techniques and technology are constantly evolving as well. As each team member follows the servant leadership of Erica, everyone knows knowledge, integrity, and prompt service are of the utmost importance. They take pride in enhancing their customer’s natural beauty by providing an array of services for men, women and children.

There is no limit to what they can offer as haircuts, vibrant color, hair education, keratin treatments, sew-ins, braids, twist, silk press, kids’ braids, dreads, and hair integration like microlinks are just a few of the techniques available. Microlinks are one of their newer services and offers versatility, fullness and length with a natural look. Whether you’re wanting to rouse up your daily routine or need special event elegance, the W salon staff can make you beguiling and beautiful for any occasion.
Like many in the service industry, the W Salon closed their doors for many months in 2020 due to the pandemic however they continued to assist their customers with beauty products and advice. “The challenges we faced dealing with Covid gave us an opportunity to still provide quality and timely services within the government mandate guidelines we had to follow,” Erica said, “Also we had to work hard to create awareness that salons are safe even during this pandemic.” During salon closures, they offered The Hair Survival Kit that includes BASIC hair care shampoo, conditioner, leave-in conditioner, wrap foam, a mesh wrap, a comb and brush.
