Lauren is an accomplished hair colorist from the New York City and Fairfield County area with a profound passion for her craft. Initially pursuing a college degree in communications, she discovered her true calling in hair artistry and subsequently attended the Aveda Arts and Sciences Institute in New York City.

Lauren has received extensive training under some of the most esteemed colorists in the industry, including those at Frederick Fekkai and Marie Robinson. These experiences provided her with the expertise needed to master the art of hair coloring. It was there that she refined her skills in hand-painting balayage and using foils to create a natural, effortless look tailored to each client’s specific vision.

As a brunette herself, Lauren understands the challenges of achieving the perfect chocolatey tone. With a strong foundation in color formulation, she helps her brunette clients eliminate unwanted brassy tones and find an ideal balance between warm and cool shades.

Lauren specializes in color corrections and creating natural hues, such as lived-in buttery blondes and toffee brondes. She aims to create a seamless grow-out by paying close attention to detail during the highlighting process. Her detail-oriented nature equips her with the skills to accurately correct color while preserving the integrity of the hair. Lauren draws inspiration from seeing the transformative impact she has on her clients, leaving them feeling more confident and beautiful when they leave her chair.
