Salon owner. Wife. Mom. Entrepreneur. Lifelong student of people.
Erica Knowles has spent more than 15 years helping women look and feel their best. But somewhere between the haircuts, the highlights, and the everyday conversations, she discovered something unexpected.
Hair was rarely the real reason people came to see her.
The salon chair became a place where women laughed, cried, celebrated, questioned themselves, and sometimes simply needed someone to listen.
Dear Bawsey grew from those conversations.
Not to tell anyone else's story...
But to uncover the little truths that connect all of us.
Because sometimes the smallest moments reveal the biggest lessons.
Dear Bawsey isn't about having all the answers. It's about helping people feel seen. Because sometimes the greatest gift we can give each other is simply saying, "I understand. I've been there too.
From being left on read to finding your first chin hair, women spend a lot of time pretending things don't bother them. Here's the truth: sometimes they do—and that's okay.
Sometimes a salon appointment is about roots, highlights, or a haircut. Sometimes it's about something much bigger. A reflection on the conversations that happen when women finally have an hour to just be.
A stylist's chair is about more than hair. It's where women laugh, vent, confess, and share the things they're carrying. Somewhere between the roots and the blow-dry, the truth always comes out.
