“Lauralee is the best! I have curly hair and will only go to her. She is careful to understand different styles I want to try and always makes sure I love my hair before leaving the salon. Traveling and living in other cities, I always book an appointment when I’m back in GR. Especially for curly hair, Lauralee is the only stylist to see!” – Elena C.
“I have thin, baby-fine hair, and LauraLee has always made it look as good as possible. And she has been very honest in apprising what will NOT work with my hair, which has saved me countless disappointing growing-out periods over the years. Love ya’ Lauralee, and admire your creativity and ability!” – Sue O.
