About Fairy Hair

Fairy hair is a fun, damage-free way to add shimmering sparkle and pops of color to your hair. Also known as hair tinsel, sparkle strands, glitter strands, or silk hair extensions, fairy hair blends seamlessly with your natural hair to create anything from a subtle "your hair, but better" shimmer to a bold colorscape for those seeking a more whimsical, fairy or mermaid-inspired aesthetic.

At Fantasy Flair by Er, we use premium synthetic silk strands that are heat-resistant up to 450°F, allowing you to wash, blow dry, curl, straighten, and even color your hair as you normally would. Our signature woven application technique securely attaches each sparkle strand to a single strand of your natural hair, with no beads, glue, or chemicals. The fairy hair remains applied to your strand of hair until it detaches and is shed from your head.

Erin and Abby are a mother-daughter duo with over 4 years of experience doing fairy hair. Based in Lecanto, their studio serves as a dedicated fairy hair destination in Citrus County, offering a full sparkle experience by appointment.

They travel across Florida for boutique pop-ups, markets, festivals, private parties, fundraisers, and large group events, regularly popping up along the west coast and throughout Central Florida. You can find them at recurring locations in The Villages, Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch, and Ocala, as well as seasonal festivals and specialty events throughout the year.

Whether you visit the Lecanto studio or catch them on the road, Erin and Abby bring a personalized, high-quality fairy hair experience with a wide range of color options, professional-grade strands, and a signature sparkle you won’t find just anywhere.

The two most common questions Erin gets are, “What’s an Er?” and “How did you start doing fairy hair?”

Er is short for Erin, pronounced “Air,” a nickname her close friends have used for years.

Erin first discovered fairy hair while out to dinner, captivated by the sparkling locks at a nearby table. The proud owner eagerly introduced her to fairy hair, sparking Erin’s curiosity. Determined to get her own, she took her niece to see Fairy Stephanie, and once she saw the sparkle in her niece’s hair, she was hooked. The very next day, she enrolled in fairy hair school with Florida Fairy Hair, and in the fall of 2022, Fantasy Flair by Er was born. 

With a love for all things glittery and beautiful, Erin has found that fairy hair is more than just a business. It has connected her with her community and introduced her to countless new friendships across Florida.

Abby is Erin’s daughter, though they are often mistaken for sisters, and she is not to be confused with Erin’s actual sisters who also join in on fairy hair for special events and in their own hometowns. 

When Erin first learned fairy hair, one of her very first concerns was who would keep her own sparkle fresh, so she quickly taught Abby. Since then, Abby has worked side by side with her mom for years, perfecting her skills and becoming a trusted part of the magic.

Recently relocated to Citrus County, Abby will now be a more familiar face to Erin’s loyal regulars. She follows in her mom’s footsteps as a devoted animal lover, adding her two dogs to Erin’s three and creating a lively pack of five howling fluffers. Abby is excited to continue growing within the community and helping women of all ages feel a little extra beautiful with a touch of sparkle.
