Meet Lauren!

I’m not just here for a great first appointment, I’m here to build a long-term relationship with your hair and with you. From our first conversation to every visit after, my goal is to create a relaxed, personalized experience where you feel understood, and totally yourself. We’ll collaborate on a style plan that fits your lifestyle, evolves with you, and keeps your hair looking and feeling its best. Without stress or guesswork.

I’m a cat mom, gardener, book hoarder, and color-loving Gemini who believes great hair is about more than what you see in the mirror. It’s self-expression, confidence, and care. When I first colored my hair red, it felt like I was stepping into the version of myself I was meant to be. That's what I want for you, too.

Whether you’re dreaming of vivid creative color, bright lived-in blondes, or a layered cut that feels effortless and intentional, I specialize in looks that reflect your individuality and grow out beautifully between visits.

Since 2015, I’ve been creating expressive, low-maintenance styles for people who want their hair to feel like them—bold, soft, wild, grounded, or all of the above. I stay inspired through continued education, keeping up with the latest trends, and working behind the chair. My approach is intuitive and low-pressure, like having your hair done by a friend. I’ll guide you through each step with care and transparency, always prioritizing the integrity of your hair.

You can find me at Gold Dust Salon in Uniontown, OH, just outside Akron and Canton, in a creative, cozy space where you’re invited to come exactly as you are. Whether we’re chatting about your latest flea or thrifty finds, decompressing together, or laughing over weekend plans, you’ll always have space to be yourself.
