I want you to get the care you deserve.
More than just transforming hair.
My name is Lauryn, and I grew up in North County—a community I hold incredibly close to my heart. Hair has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in the salon industry with a mother who was a stylist, which inspired my passion for beauty, creativity, and self-expression. Today, I am a licensed hairstylist in Encinitas with over 15 years of professional experience, specializing in balayage, blonding, highlights, dimensional color, Brazilian Blowouts, and hair extensions.
For me, hairstyling is more than just creating a new cut, color, or style—it’s about nurturing natural beauty and helping people feel confident in who they are. I love guiding clients through transformations that make them light up when they look in the mirror. Life moves fast, and many people forget to slow down and care for themselves. When a client finally takes that moment—and I see their joy, relief, and confidence return—that is what truly fuels my passion for this career.
I believe deeply in self-care, community, and connection. That’s why I created Zen Den Salon & Boutique in Encinitas—a calming space where clients can relax, feel pampered, and enjoy a personalized salon experience. I also expanded my vision by adding a boutique featuring handmade goods from local San Diego artists, supporting small businesses and fellow creatives in our community. My goal is to uplift others, collaborate with like-minded artists, and continue building a space that inspires beauty, confidence, and belonging.
At Zen Den Salon & Boutique in Encinitas, I believe beauty should never come at the cost of innocent lives. Around the world, animals are still subjected to painful cosmetic testing, and I refuse to support any brand involved in animal cruelty, child labor, or unethical practices.
As a 100% cruelty-free salon, I carefully select professional hair and beauty brands that align with my values of compassion, sustainability, and ethical responsibility. After extensive research and product testing, I chose high-quality, environmentally mindful lines that deliver exceptional results—without harm.
When you visit Zen Den, you can feel confident knowing your service supports ethical, eco-conscious, cruelty-free beauty in Encinitas. Together, we can create healthier hair, a healthier planet, and a kinder industry for all.
