Christen Erickson

Hello!

I am Christen, and I have been a cosmetologist for over 20 years and love my craft more today than ever before! The hair industry is always evolving and offering so much opportunity for creativity. The business of beauty as a career choice has afforded me the gift of flexibility to spend as much time as possible with my son Kellen, while maintaining availability to my clientele.

Working as a beautician I’ve found my most treasured friendships. So I am beyond excited to be with “The Basement Salon” team! Most of us ladies have been friends for more than a decade – this makes for an amazing group to be side-by-side with each day, as well as brings a fantastic positive energy to the whole salon environment and your visit as our guest.

My services include women’s and men’s haircuts and styling and I offer a wide variety of coloring techniques ranging from classic coverage to highlights of all kinds – whether you want the well-loved foil, baby lights or a beautifully blended balayage. The color line I dominantly use is Wella^® Koleston. Our consultation together will help me customize what you need to achieve your hair goals.

Brazilian Blowout is a treatment that actually improves the condition of your hair by creating a protective protein layer around the hair shaft to eliminate frizz and smooth the cuticle. Its effect dissipates gradually so there’s no textural line of demarcation as your hair grows out and it lasts up to 12 weeks! It is a huge time saver.

The most unique for last: I am trained and certified for Great Lengths brand hair extensions, bonding and tape-in. The bonding method especially is almost undetectable visually and incredibly customizable. I chose GL brand partly because it is one of the very few distributors to offer 100% traceable, ethical, REAL hair. My ultrasonic cool touch extension machine is the newest technology available and ensures nearly zero damage to your hair. The hair GL sources is from the temples of India and then undergoes a unique production process in their factory located in Rome.

I will also be able to offer hand tied weft extensions in October and I am SO excited to learn this technique!

I hope to see you in the salon in one chair or another – thanks for reading!
