What are some interesting things to know about you, Eric?

I was born and raised here in Dallas; I currently live in Oak Cliff, so I know Dallas very well! I absolutely love being a part of the beauty business, and I am also a member of the Young Advocates for Sexual Health group.

Why did you choose Bigger Better Hair as your salon home?

I started at Bigger Better Hair as an apprentice, and I have been lucky enough to build my clientele and evolve into the stylist I am today.  I love the variety of services we offer, and the ways we can help guests achieve the hair they always wanted.  

What sets you apart as a Dallas Hair Stylist?

I have a strong background in customer service, so I will always commit to listen to clients and do my best to deliver results that are well beyond their expectations.

I also value the relationship aspect of this profession, and I commit to being trustworthy and respectful to every guest. 

As I have grown in this industry, my passion for hair replacement has come through on the guests I am lucky enough to get to work with on a daily basis. 

You can always expect in depth consultations, my commitment to stellar results every single visit, and a good laugh while you sit in my chair.  

What are some of your favorite services to do for clients?

Honestly, what I love the most about this industry is the variety that every day brings.

From maintaining color to making major color changes, to giving clients the haircut that suits their face shape, to providing treatments or extensions that can give a customer the head of hair she always wanted, to men’s hair systems that completely change their confidence in a salon visit. 

The creative possibilities are endless!

Who are some of your beauty inspirations that you are inspired by and follow?

I am around amazing stylists every day here at Bigger Better Hair and they give me so much inspiration. I fall under a spell when I watch them work their magic.

A couple of my newest obsessions are stylists Alfredo Lewis and Philip Wolf. That duo is amazing and work so well with each other.

What are some of your favorite places to spend off time in Dallas?

When I am not working, I love to spend my time hanging out with my family and friends, going out to eat, having drinks or just relaxing at home.

Thrift stores are another place I love to explore. My sister and I go nuts for them!! I love breakfast, so whenever I get the chance, my mom and I love to eat at Carmen’s Mexican Café in West Dallas or Norma’s in Oak Cliff.

I am a crazy movie fanatic. My husband and I love to catch them at our new favorite spot, Alamo Draft House.

What beauty products are your “must haves” if you are stranded on an island? 

I love my hair to look big and bold, so I would for sure need some thickening/volumizing products!! Stuck on an island I would also need sunblock to protect my skin!!!

Below, Ana answers some questions to give you a bit of insight into who she is as a person and as a hairstylist.

What are some interesting things to know about you, Ana?

I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas so this city is truly my home. Growing up here has shaped who I am, and I love everything from the vibrant culture to the beautiful parks and museums.

One of my biggest passions is dance. Whether it’s just moving to the rhythm of music or watching professional performances, dance has always been a way for me to express myself.

I am the oldest of three siblings, which has made me naturally responsible and caring. I’ve always been the one to look out for my younger siblings.

Why did you choose Bigger Better Hair as your salon home?

I chose Bigger Better Hair as my salon home because of the incredible atmosphere and the people who work here.

From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by the friendly and talented stylists. There’s a strong sense of teamwork and support, which makes it such a positive and inspiring place to be.

I knew right away that this was the kind of environment I wanted to be a part of, a place where I can thrive, learn, and contribute while making clients feel their absolute best!

What sets you apart as a Dallas hair stylist?

What sets me apart as a Dallas hairstylist is my dedication to truly listening to each guest’s goals and needs.

I believe that great hair starts with understanding what my clients want while also providing expert guidance on what will work best for their hair type, lifestyle, and overall look. I take the time to educate my clients on the process, maintenance, and styling tips to keep their hair looking its best.

Every time you sit in my chair, you can trust that I’ll put my heart into making sure you leave feeling confident beautiful, and excited about your hair.

What are some of your favorite services to do for clients?

Some of my favorite services to do include haircuts, blonding, and hair extensions.

Whether it’s a fresh cut to bring new life to someone’s look or creating the perfect blonde shade, I enjoy every step of the process. I’m also passionate about both men’s and women’s hair replacement. It’s incredibly rewarding to help clients regain their confidence with solutions tailored to their specific needs.

Seeing a client’s joy when they see their new look is truly the best part of my job.

What are some of your favorites places in Dallas to go to on your off days?

On my days off, I love exploring new food spots around Dallas, trying different cuisines and discovering hidden gems is one of my favorite things to do.

I LOVE FOOD, and Dallas has so many amazing restaurants to choose from. I also enjoy spending time outdoors, especially on a beautiful day.

Whether it’s relaxing at a park, going for a walk, or just soaking in the fresh air, being outside helps me recharge, clear my mind, and enjoy the moment.

What beauty products are your “must haves” if you are stranded on an island?

If I were stranded on an island, there are a few beauty products I absolutely couldn’t live without!

First, Sun Bum SPF 30, because I burn easily, sun protection is a must.

Second, I’d bring L’Oreal Professional Vitamino Color 10-in-1 Leave-In. It’s a lifesaver for keeping my hair healthy, hydrated, and protected, especially in humid or salty air. Lastly, I would need my CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser. Skincare is just as important as haircare, and this cleanser is perfect for keeping my skin feeling fresh and clean.
