Lauren moved to Boulder to attend CU, where she studied psychology and theatre for two years before realizing her true calling was in hair. She enrolled at the Aveda Institute of Denver and began her journey at Zinke working the front desk—eventually moving to the salon floor after graduation.

Now a Master Stylist with nearly 13 years at Zinke, Lauren specializes in blondes and expert foiling services. She is highly regarded for her advanced skills with Aveda color and has a full book of loyal guests who trust her to bring their hair goals to life.

Lauren has long played a key role in our salon’s education program, having taught our in-house color classes and contributing to Zinke’s recognition as a Top 200 Salon for education. She currently serves as our salon’s Technical Ambassador for Aveda, ensuring our team stays up to date with the latest color innovations and techniques.

When she’s not behind the chair, Lauren enjoys spending time with her wife, two children, and their cat.
