Dawn Anderson

Administration

Dawn Anderson was raised in the beautiful Magic Valley. Dawn spent most of her childhood at Juan’s College of Hair Design with her mother (a cosmetology instructor  for 23 years) and the students who took her under their wing.  Always the ‘test subject’, she enjoyed every moment.  What she learned most from the students and clients was the value of human connection and individuality.
 
Walking in the doors of Eagle River Aesthetics each morning, Dawn treasures the sense of peace and tranquility. Meeting Gia and becoming a part of the Eagle River team has been one of her biggest blessings in life. In her spare time, she loves spending time outdoors soaking up Idaho’s beauty with her loved ones. Her favorite hobbies include camping, wakeboarding, reading, and crocheting.
With degrees in bookkeeping and Human Resource Training and Development, Dawn looks forward to assisting the staff and clientele of Eagle River in all areas of the business.
 
I define connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued: when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.  Brené Brown
