Lara has had the pleasure of being in this business and changing people’s lives through beauty for 20 years now. And through it all, she can still honestly say that she loves her job.

She started in 1990 at Aziz Salon and Spa as an apprentice. And then decided to continue her apprenticeship in the early 90's at Zan Ray Salon. She had the pleasure of working side by side with famed celebrity stylist, Ted Gibson for 2 years. Lara also shared the same mentor as Ted Gibson at Zan Ray in the early years of her education in the industry. She returned to Aziz under new ownership in the late 90's and continued to perfect her talents.

Lara considers herself lucky enough to have colored the locks of several well-known celebrities such as, Emilio Estevez (The War at Home) and Andie McDowell (Michael) during the beginning of Austin's Booming film Industry.

Lara has had extensive training for over 15 years with the Wella Colour Systems and Wella Koleston Perfect. She prides herself in not being afraid of fine, curly, or highly textured hair. Lara’s specialty is pairing the perfect hairstyle and accentuating it with the ideal color for her clientele.
