Lauren Zari Klein

I’m a third-generation hairstylist and Chicago native with over 10 years behind the chair. I specialize in natural, lived-in color and low-maintenance cuts designed to grow out beautifully and fit your real life.

​

Most of my clients come to me wanting soft dimension, better tone, or a more intentional version of their natural hair—something that feels effortless, but still elevated and put-together.

​

My approach is relaxed, collaborative, and rooted in trust—but also intentional. I’m always thinking about how your color will grow out, fade, and evolve over time, not just how it looks the day you leave the salon.

​

I want your time in my chair to feel easy and judgment-free—whether you’ve skipped a few washes or haven’t had a haircut in ages. I’m here to help you get where you want to go with your hair, at your own pace, in a way that actually works for your day-to-day.

​

And no, I’m not going to tell you where to part your hair—unless you want me to.

​

I love this work because it’s both creative and deeply personal. I’m always learning, always inspired, and constantly refining how I create soft, dimensional color that feels like you—not like a trend.

​

I also really love the relationships that form in this space—swapping book recs, talking pop culture, or just sharing a quiet moment while we create something together that feels really good.

​

When I’m not in the salon, you’ll probably find me working on a crochet project, lounging on a blanket at the park with friends, or curled up at home with my husband, my cats, and a book that just emotionally wrecked me. Got a good one? Bring it to your next appointment—we’ll discuss.

​

If this sounds like your vibe, I’d love to meet you!
