Lauren is the best. After moving to Arizona from NYC it took 8 years to find someone who could actually work with thick, textured, curly hair. Other places would botch my hair and/or I would go home and have to restyle it myself. Since meeting her, I have chopped it all off, went red, and added bangs. I've never left unsatisfied. Her new salon is gorgeous and she offers the best customer service. She is truly a well-rounded stylist and is honest about her skills and limitations.
