OUR TEAM

🐚Gentle waves, bold color, safe space, carving out calm in a chaotic world—one appointment at a time. Established in May 2025, Alison Schulte and Erica Florio are first-time business owners working out of Suites 21 & 23! Located inside The Look Salon Suites at 615 Hampton Pointe, Hillsborough, NC 27278. We’re two queer women who dreamed big, and now Coastal + Clover is finally here! With over 13 years of combined experience, we’ve poured our hearts into creating a space that’s more than just a salon. It’s a sanctuary where you’re seen, heard, and celebrated exactly as you are. Starting this business has been a powerful journey fueled by our deep desire to build a safe, welcoming space for everyone. As an LGBTQ+ affirming space, we welcome anyone looking for a safe, supportive salon to express themselves and explore their identity. When you sit in our chairs, you’re not just a client—you’re family. We specialize in custom cuts for every texture, lived-in looks, gray coverage, sun-kissed balayage, and vibrant colors that bring your wildest hair dreams to life. From soft shags to bold, edgy styles, every detail is crafted with care, creativity, and that unmistakable Coastal + Clover magic. 🌿Let’s create something beautiful — your dream hair is just one appointment away.

Originally from New York, Erica moved to North Carolina 13 years ago and brings over 10 years of experience behind the chair. Outside the salon, she’s a full-time cat mom, pop-culture enthusiast, and drag queen extraordinaire! In the salon, Erica specializes in working with curly hair, face-framing layers, and extra-long styles, but is skilled cutting all hair types & lengths! She absolutely loves bringing hair to life with color—balayage, lived-in color, vibrant reds, highlights, and fantasy colors are her favorites to create. Erica has earned several certifications, including Masters of Balayage, KMS IQ Cutting, and Ouidad Curly Cutting, reflecting her commitment to continuing education. Having grown up with curly hair herself, Erica understands the challenges many face in salons and strives to create a welcoming, comfortable space for all hair types and backgrounds. 🩷 Her chair is a place for connection, creativity and fully being yourself.
