Bring theVision to Life

MEET THE TEAM

The Opal Society team is a collective of stylists who share the same belief: the best beauty experiences feel easy, personal, and genuinely good to be part of. There’s no competition here, only collaboration. Our team works closely, supports one another, and brings a natural rhythm to the space that you feel the moment you walk in.

Each artist brings their own specialty, style, and personality, but the foundation is the same — connection, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. It’s the energy behind the chair, the way the team shows up for one another, and the care put into every
service that make The Opal Society what it is.

The Story & Team That Shape The Opal Society

The Opal Society was created with a clear intention: to offer great hair in a space that feels good to be in. Not rushed. Not performative. Just comfortable, well-run, and genuinely welcoming.

After years behind the chair, Lauren knew the experience mattered just as much as the outcome. She wanted to build a salon where the energy behind the chair was strong, the work was thoughtful, and clients felt at ease from the moment they walked in. A place where stylists work together, conversations flow naturally,
and hair is approached with care, skill, and intention.

Today, The Opal Society is a collective of artists who care deeply about their craft and the experience they create. It’s a place you can settle into, trust the hands you’re in, and leave with hair that feels like you

The Meaning Behind the Name

Why 'The Opal Society?'

Opal is Lauren’s birthstone—a symbol of creativity, intuition, and light. But this was never meant to be a salon named after her. She wanted a name that felt bigger than one person, one stylist, or one story.

That’s where Society comes in. A nod to belonging. Connection. Community over competition. The belief that beautiful things happen when people feel supported—not rushed or judged.

Together, The Opal Society reflects what this space is built on: warmth, intention, artistry, and a genuine sense of community. You leave looking put together and feeling good in a way that carries with you.

A little bit more
about the Founder

I’m Lauren, founder of The Opal Society. While great hair will always matter, culture is what truly defines this space. I built Opal around the belief that the experience is just as important as the outcome and that when a team genuinely enjoys working together, you can feel it the moment you walk in.

The Opal Society is a collective of like-minded stylists who share the same goal: creating hair that feels natural, thoughtful, and right for each individual, while also making the time in the chair feel comfortable and easy. We care deeply about how someone feels when they’re here — listened to, supported, and at ease — because that’s what makes the work meaningful. Being behind the chair is where I come alive creatively, but building a team and culture that values connection, consistency, and care is what continues to shape everything we do.
