​Hello everyone, my name is Eric Hudgins. I was born in a small town in the Northwest Georgia Mountains and moved to the Metro Atlanta Area in the fall of 1993 to pursue a degree in Finance. After college I moved to NYC and worked in a corporate environment for about 6 years. Over time I began to realize that I wasnt following my dreams and at the age of 30 decided to make my dreams a reality. I hung up my wing tips, tie, and matching suit and called my local beauty college, Dalton Beauty School and within 2 weeks, I was beginning classes. In the state of Georgia the Master Cosmetology program usually takes about 10-12 months for a full time student to complete and the State Liscensing Board will not allow you to take the test until you have completed your hours and 9 months have passed. On the first day I knew this is where I was supposed to be. I excelled in my studies and practices to become the leader of my class and finished my hours in 7 months. I immediatly began pursuing a career in the Metro Atlanta Area and my journey began at Aqua Day Spa and Salon.
