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.
After 17 years behind the salon chair, I've realized clients apologize for things hairstylists rarely even notice. A lighthearted Dear Bawsey essay about perfection, people, and what really matters.
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.
Getting older isn't nearly as scary as we thought it would be. It's just a lot weirder. From reading glasses and random aches to bird feeders and magnesium supplements, this is a lighthearted look at the realities of midlife.
Welcome to Dear Bawsey—a place where everyday conversations become meaningful stories about life, relationships, growth, and the little truths that connect us all.
Real talk about beauty, relationships, business, motherhood, confidence, and everything in between. No filters. No fluff. Just honest conversations
