    Outside of the salon, Lauren loves to create art in many forms, listen to music, go to the scariest haunted house she can find, and hang with her friends or her cats. Her absolute favorite thing to do is travel to different cities/states to attend concerts. She’s basically a full-time fangirl (and would love to chat music with you)!! Her favorite artists are Waterparks, Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish, The 1975, Tyler The Creator, and many more. She also loves all things witchy she collects crystals, and is currently learning to read tarot.
