MASTER TRAINER

Growing up in Cleveland, Ohio in the United States, Lauren has always known she would pursue a career in the beauty industry. From the age of ten she started learning everything she could about beauty, makeup and fashion online and from local artists. She began taking classes at 13 years old in Special FX and Glam makeup and began working as a makeup artist locally in Cleveland, Ohio, just one year later. As a freelancer, she began working with local fashion designers on different projects, some of which ended up in shows like Paris Fashion Week. While doing this, she shadowed the beauty departments to eventually take the lead in their hair and makeup departments years later. She also got opportunities to work in New York City shadowing and assisting on live TV sets for nationally broadcast shows.

After freelancing as a junior for a few years she decided to attend cosmetology school where she learned everything about hair, skin, nails, and beauty that she could. She went on to do local and state level competitions and won awards across the country for her services. Upon completing her cosmetology course and becoming licensed at 18, she decided to attend a lash extension course just to try it out and fell in love with the intricacies and technical challenges that come with lash extensions.

After completing this course, she continued to do hair and makeup freelance while also opening her own lash and brow business in 2018. She worked doing lash extensions, brow tinting/waxing, lash lifts, and brow laminations for 4 years, owning and operating her own lash boutique offering results often only seen from bigger more high-profile providers in her area.

Lauren then made the move to Australia in early 2022 and decided the next step forward in the industry would be becoming an educator. She had long been inspired by her teachers and trainers along the way and is a firm believer that continuing education is one of the most important parts of our job as beauty professionals.
