Erwin Gomez

Keeping to his Asian roots, Gomez remains inspired by the philosophy of the East. My inspirations come from my heritage and culture,” Gomez said. “I am very careful to create the right environment for my clients and I hand pick each artist to learn my culture and vision. They must be willing to adapt to the methodology.”

Gomez started with a sincere passion for the artistic side of the world and there was no doubt that he would make his mark on the world of beauty.

“I was artistic since I was a kid – drawing faces, reading fashion magazines, watching music videos,” Gomez said. “Now I’ve been in the business FOREVER! I just couldn’t stay away from it all; I love to touch people’s faces!”

Gomez got his start working behind the Chanel cosmetics counter at the age of 17, the first man hired to work behind the counter of the famous brand. With a slight detour when he studied and became a surgical nurse, Gomez had already proven himself worthy of recognition in the beauty industry, and couldn’t wait to get back to it.

Now a salon owner of a top-end full service establishment, Gomez can live out his dream of offering beyond quality services with customer service that can’t be beat.
“ Customer service is so important to me,” said Gomez. “My mission is to accommodate and alleviate the stress of each client.”

The Erwin Gomez team is just as special indeed. Each salon staff member, named ‘Dragonflies’ are taught the same model of respect, humility, and superior customer service. The atmosphere and culture within the team is truly unique and each
dragonfly is treated with the utmost regard, each having their own name tag mounted next to their station which ties into the salon and creates mutual respect between the team leader and the team.

“My recipe for creating the perfect atmosphere is being humble, real, and hands on. I treat my guests as friends,” Gomez said. “My dragonflies are the biggest thing in my business – I salute them.”

Gomez has recently begun a new project to add to the salon and spa that will add another floor to the facility. “The top floor will be a men’s only salon where the boys can go to relax away from the busy world of Washington,” Gomez said. “Men are becoming more and more aware of the benefits that a full service salon and spa can offer and I am going the distance to make sure that they too can have this experience in a boys’ environment.”
