Hi, I’m Laurel. 🤍

It’s been a while since I’ve introduced myself around here, not just as the owner of Lavender, but as the person behind it.

I opened Salon Lavender in 2018 with an idea of creating a salon that felt a little different. A space that was thoughtful, welcoming, creative, and conscious of the products we use and the environment we create for both our clients and our team.

Eight years later, Lavender has grown and changed in ways I never could have completely planned for. And so have I.

These days, I spend my time somewhere between being behind the chair, mentoring our stylists, running the business, dreaming up what comes next, and being a mom outside of these walls. There are a lot of hats, and admittedly, I’m still learning how to wear all of them without trying to do everything at once.

Hair has been such a huge part of my life, but what I love most about this work has always been the people. The relationships built over years of appointments. Watching clients move through different seasons of their lives. Helping newer stylists find their confidence and their own place in this industry. Creating a salon that people genuinely want to come back to.

Lavender is still evolving. I am too.

And after eight years, I think I’m more excited about what this little salon can become than I was when I first opened the doors.

So, hi. I’m Laurel, the owner, stylist, and person usually somewhere behind the scenes of Salon Lavender. I’m really glad you’re here. 🌿

Morning light at Lavender 🌿☀️

One of those moments where I stop, look around, and remember how much I love this little space we’ve created.

Plants, sunshine, good hair, and another day at Lavender. 🤍

Happy 1 Year, Malina! 🌿💜

Today we’re celebrating Malina Foss one year anniversary at Salon Lavender!

Malina, thank you for all of your hard work and for the care you bring to our salon each day. We’re so grateful to have you and can’t wait to see what this next year brings.

Happy Anniversary! ✨

A little corner of calm 🌿

From the moment you walk through our doors, we want you to feel like you’ve stepped away from the noise for a while. Surrounded by plants, clean air, and a welcoming team, Salon Lavender was created to be more than just a place to get your hair done. It’s a space to slow down, recharge, and leave feeling like yourself again.

Whether you’re here for a fresh haircut, soft lived in dimensional color, or simply an hour of quiet, we’re so grateful to share this space with our community.

We can’t wait to welcome you. 💚

This year, together, we made a real impact 🌿

Through our partnership with , Salon Lavender helped keep 254.5 pounds of beauty waste out of landfills and waterways in 2025.

That includes:
• 218.5 lbs of solid waste
• 36.0 lbs of liquid waste

And collectively, Green Circle salons diverted over 1.1 million pounds of waste this year.

Every color, every service, every visit adds up to something bigger than just great hair. It’s about caring for our community, our environment, and the future we’re all part of.

Thank you for being part of this with us and for helping keep people and the planet beautiful 💚

8 years of Salon Lavender ✨

What started as a vision has grown into something so much bigger than we ever imagined. Over the past 8 years, we have built more than a salon. We have built a space for connection, creativity, and care.

To our incredible team, past and present, thank you for bringing your artistry, heart, and energy into these walls every single day. You are what make Lavender what it is.

To our clients and community, thank you for trusting us, supporting us, and growing alongside us. We wouldn’t be here without you.

Every appointment, every conversation, every transformation has been a part of this journey.

Here’s to 8 years and everything still to come 🌿

Salon Lavender 🪴

A space for thoughtful hair, natural products, and moments to slow down.

From the plants in the windows to the conversations behind the chair, everything here is created with intention.

Spring is a reset.

The equinox marks a moment of balance, equal light, equal dark, and from here everything begins to grow again.

Our hair follows its own natural cycle of rest, shed, and renewal. After the slower months of winter it is common to notice more movement, new growth coming in, old strands releasing, a subtle shift in texture and energy.

This is the season to support that transition.
To nourish the scalp.
To refresh your shape.
To let go of what has been sitting heavy.

Growth does not have to be dramatic to be meaningful. Sometimes it looks like a small change, a softer edge, a little more light.

We are here for all of it.

Lavender has always been about more than hair.

Our work is rooted in connection, creativity, and care. Care for our guests, care for each other, and care for the environment we work in. These values shape the way we approach every appointment and the kind of space we strive to create.

Each stylist here brings their own creativity and perspective, but what connects us is a shared belief in thoughtful consultations, intentional work, and building genuine relationships with the people who trust us with their hair.

As our community continues to grow, we are excited to expand our team and welcome new stylists who feel aligned with these values and want to be part of what we are building here at Lavender. 🌿
