Lauren Napier

Educator and Stylist at Element Aveda Lifestyle Salon

I have accumulated 19 years of experience in the hairdressing industry, beginning my career in Aberdeen, Scotland, UK. My foundational training took place in a prestigious salon in Aberdeen, where I honed my skills over 5 years. Following this, I relocated to South Wales, working at a salon near Cardiff for an additional 3 years.

An exciting opportunity then led me back to Aberdeen, where I joined an esteemed Aveda salon renowned for its exceptional team and standards. During my tenure there, I had the privilege of attending Master Jam alongside my colleagues and contributing to the education of apprentices within the salon.

In pursuit of further expertise, I completed the Aveda Colour Master Program in London, which further enriched my capabilities. Building on this achievement, I seized another opportunity to bring my skills to Australia. I have now been given the privilege to educate alongside Aveda.

Get to Know Me

Question: What is your favourite technique or trend right now?

Answer: Right now my favourite trend is Lived In Blondes. Creating natural-looking, seamless blended highlights for clients.

I also love colour correction. Thinking outside the box to create a completely different look.

Why I Love to Educate

Being a hairstylist and making your guests feel and look amazing is a wonderful feeling. But helping to inspire and develop others' skills is highly rewarding. I get great satisfaction, from watching other stylists gain confidence and grow.
