Cotton Rouge was recommended to me by two of my friends who got married last year. They both also specifically told me to request Erica and I am SO glad I did. Erica was absolutely amazing!!! She was always on time and so detail oriented. She got each of my wedding looks absolutely perfect and just how I wanted it. She also has an amazing personality- bubbly, flexible, and easy to talk to. We had such a great time getting ready with her that morning and I would not change a thing. Thank you again!"                  Shivani, Married September 2019

Erica Wilson

Makeup Artist, Hair Artist

Specialties: Bridal, Portrait, Fashion & Glamour Makeup & Hair.

Erica’s beauty journey started early—assisting with wedding hair at just 13 and earning her cosmetology license by 17. With over 20 years in the industry and 10 years with Cotton Rouge & Company, she’s a trusted expert in bridal glam and beyond.
Known affectionately as “Hairica,” Erica specializes in creating custom hair and makeup looks tailored to each bride’s unique vision, whether that’s intricate updos or flawless makeup that lasts all day. She prides herself on her versatility, creativity, and calm presence that helps ease the emotional moments of wedding days.
Erica’s kit staple is AeroBlend airbrush makeup, which delivers a flawless, camera-ready finish, alongside Cotton Rouge’s own lashes. She’s a big fan of affordable yet long-lasting lip products from CoverGirl and Maybelline and loves the current blush trend that brings a fresh, radiant glow.

Her beauty tip? Prioritize skincare ahead of your wedding day, especially hydrating serums like Estée Lauder’s Night Repair, for that coveted plump and glowing complexion.
Outside the salon, Erica treasures time with her husband, three kids (including twins!), and their menagerie of pets—including a pet pig named Kevin Bacon. She loves nature, travel, DIY projects, and trying new recipes to fuel her creativity.
On wedding mornings, you’ll find her sipping a honey-sweetened Americano or enjoying Chick-fil-A nuggets for fuel. If given the chance, she’d love to glam Zendaya for her bold, authentic, and ever-evolving style.
Erica’s mantra:
“Be like a PINEAPPLE. Stand tall, wear your crown, and stay sweet on the inside!”
