Ready to transform your hair to feel more like YOU without the salon anxiety?
You want to love your hair, but maybe….
You haven’t found a stylist that respects, listens, and communicates with you.
You want a gender affirming style in a supportive environment.
You need your time in the salon to be ‘me time’ and less of a sales pitch.
You don’t want to visit the salon every 4 weeks.
You haven’t found a stylist that can deliver results you were expecting.
You deserve a salon experience where you are seen, heard, and able to be authentically you.
Ready to leave your appointment feeling comfortable, relaxed, and confident?
You can have the healthy, beautiful hair you feel confident in.
You will be empowered to express your style with guidance on how to care and style your hair at home and not just in the salon.
Committing to a hairstylist who has designed their space for you to feel safe while continuously advancing their technical skills will give you lasting results you will love for years to come.
Escape the pressure of a traditional salon and enter an inclusive, quieter private studio experience.
A salon studio is smaller, more private salon space. This provides you with a safer space for honest conversations about what your needs are during your consultation. This space is judgement free and provides a small oasis for you to feel cared for and unburdened by the worry of what others overhear.
This is a non-judgmental space and customized just for you!
What Does Inclusive Salon Experience Mean?
It means making a safer space for everyone through unity, acceptance, equity, and diversity.
-
Inside my space, all are welcome.
I understand that identity is often fluid and evolves over time.
What I offer to help you feel supported:
Gender Neutral Restrooms.You update your pronouns on your Experience Customization Form prior to each appointment.
Hair styles are discussed without gendered terms, like ‘feminine’ or ‘masculine’ unless you specifically ask for those types of styles.
Change is supported and enjoyed here!
As a nonbinary person, my styles often flip how I present.
I also believe that you can use hair units and extensions to make more rapid change to your appearance. If we can buy it, we can wear it!
-
I do not charge based on your hair texture.
Hair is a fabric with basic scientific principles that apply to all people.
Quoted sessions/prices are based on time estimates for the result you would like to achieve.
Both my styling chair and shampoo chair are 22” wide and have weight capacity up to 350 lbs.
-
Age changes our hair, but it doesn’t have to dictate what styles we like or what length we wear.
I provide education to care for your hair as you go through the transitions of texture and color shifts.

AJ Says:
Lara was amazing, the salon is a pleasant and a growth positive environment. She asked about everything from drink preference to music and lunch. It was wonderful, her abilities are unmatched. She was open and honest and really a life changing experience from start to finish. Like I didn't even know I needed her skills and experience but wow, I was just blown away. 5 STARS
Sunshine says:
Lara has been coloring my hair for a little over 2 years now. I went to her with damaged hair in serious need of some TLC. My hair is happy healthy and growing! I love the one on one commitment you receive while sitting in her chair. You are her priority and she will always listen to what you want. You may not get the answer you want but you will get the answer you need. That is a sign of a true professional looking out for your best interest. Hair day is always my favorite! I feel pampered and beautiful after every visit. 5 STARS

Short Cuts: short hair takes attention to detail and understanding how hair lays on and around the head.
Long Cuts: Long hair doesn’t have to be boring and it doesn’t leave you with a single look.Gender Affirming Cuts: Hair has no gender, but gender affirming cuts can make us feel more like ourselves.
