Meet Our Hair Artists

Lauren
Owner & Master Stylist
I graduated from the International Academy of Hair Design in 2007. Growing up, my parents knew I'd do something in the beauty industry. I thought my passion for hair, makeup, and fashion was just a hobby, after working in a few salons during high school, I knew I was meant to be "behind the chair!" After finishing school, I became a blonde expert and was certified in several types of hair extensions. I never wanted to limit myself, so I mastered men's and women's cuts, perms, color corrections, and relaxers. Through advanced education and my clients' loyalty, I became a Master Stylist and Educator. I enjoyed sharing my passion through teaching about techniques, business, and product knowledge. I wanted to take my career to the next level and began working for myself in Old Town Scottsdale. While there, I fell in love with Goldwell products, as did my awesome clients. After a year, I knew it was time to open my own salon and combine my passions and dedication of hair art, business, design, and my desire to make people look and feel beautiful. The Collective Hair Studio opened January 1, 2016 and has been an amazing experience! I love having a second home where I can pamper my guests and do what I love. I look forward to continuing to grow as a stylist and business owner. I feel blessed that I get to do what I love and meet amazing people every day!

Advanced Stylist II
"Love what you do & do what you love." I've been in the beauty industry for 6 years and originally began my career in Russia, where I gained incredible experience working at a Paul Mitchell salon. I'm passionate about travel, music, and learning new languages — and that same curiosity drives me in my work as a stylist. I'm always staying up to date with the latest techniques and trends to make sure I deliver exactly what my clients need. My specialties include: • Color correction • Lived-in blondes • AirTouch • Balayage • Brazilian blonde • Soft blonde • Color removal All of my blondes are ROYAL — because every client deserves to feel like a queen.

Ally
Stylist & Colorist
Born and raised in a small town, I was limited in my opportunities, so I made my way to Scottsdale, Arizona! After a year of college I knew it wasn’t what I wanted do. I always enjoyed doing my own hair extensions, lashes and nails so after experimenting on family and friends I made my way into cosmetology school and graduated in 2023. I enjoy doing all types of foils, cuts, and colors but my passion is sew in hair extensions, blonding services, men’s cuts and big transformations. This industry is constantly starting new trends, so continuing education is very important to me. My ultimate goal is to help you feel like a more beautiful and confident version of yourself. I hope to see you in my chair!

Reagan
Stylist & Colorist
Born and raised here in Arizona. I have always had a creative passion for hair! From painting to photography I have always loved expressing myself through different art mediums. I graduated cosmetology school in 2022 and after taking a short break from the beauty industry I’m glad to be back working with stylists behind the chair. I love working with bright vivid colors, foils, lived in color, all kinds of haircuts, and menswear haircuts. My favorite way to express myself is through my hair and I hope to help others express themselves too!
