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!

Kelly
Advanced Stylist
I graduated from Gateway Cosmetology school in January 2021. I am a blonde specialist and extension specialist. I also love haircuts, styling, color and bridal! When it comes to blondes I range in many techniques including balayage, foilage, money pieces, full and partial highlights that look like they grew straight out of your scalp! The extensions I specialize in are I-Tips, K-Tips, braid-less sew ins also referred to as the hand tied method and tape ins. I started my career in Arizona and it has been an amazing journey. I just moved back from Washington State working for a resort named Roche Harbor, as a Bridal Hairstylist. I am very passionate about my work. I also keep up with trends along with traditional hair styles.

Ember
Advanced Stylist
"I am a licensed Hair Designer offering a wide range of services, including short and long cuts, blonding, color correction, special event up-dos, and more. I am continually expanding my skills and I also love working with extensions. My favorite services are blonding and transformational makeovers. I love a challenge and am passionate about hair, bringing a sociable and hardworking attitude to everything I do. I’m always eager to learn and grow in my craft. I also actively use social media, which I believe is one of the most powerful marketing tools in the beauty industry. Outside of work, I enjoy working on cars, spending time with friends, reading, and traveling!
