    I had a crazy vision, multiple colors of hair, done in a very specific way. Lauren accepted the challenge and pulled it off more spectacularly than I could have imagined! She heard me when I said "dramatic"!! She heard when I said "lashes to make RuPaul blush"! She made me look more amazing than I thought possible. My mother's hair and makeup she claimed made her feel 10 years younger! Her team was amazing, but Lauren is the STAR of this team and she will make YOUR dreams come to life and not kill your hair in the process! She did my husband's blowout and he siad he has never had his hair feel so amazing! My Man of Honor called it "rich peple hair!" because his felt like silk after she cut and colored it! She is a magician! Highly reccomend!!!

    Lauren was SPECTACULAR! She had the best vibes! She let me know it was okay to provide feedback and encouraged me to speak up if there was something I wanted to change! Lauren and her team were so professional and FUN on our wedding day and were even able to accommodate some last-minute changes and additions. So glad I booked with Thrive and would recommend them 100 times over to everyone!!

    They were a great part of my wedding day! I loved listening to their stories as they were doing our hair and makeup. They stayed on time and did a great job doing our hair and makeup how each of us envisioned. Couldn't have imagined anyone better!

    Lauren was so kind and provided great services over and over again. She has been so fun to work with and she even did my AMAZING makeup for my boudoir shoot! She never disappoints and always does a great job while also making you feel so beautiful and confident. Highly recommend!
