OUR TEAM

 Taylor specializes in balayage, highlights and hair extensions. She started as a salon coordinator at Spa Gregories in Rancho Santa Margarita and Newport when she was only 17. She then worked as a salon coordinator for Salon One while she was working on her bachelor’s degree.

 Taylor loved being surrounded by the atmosphere of the salon life and admired the beauty, passion, and the work that went into what the stylists did. After obtaining a bachelor’s degree at Chapman University in Communication studies, she decided to go after her lifelong dream of acquiring her cosmetology license. She procured her training from the W Academy in Danville, and continued her education by assisting as a hairstylist at AP Lux Salon in Mill Valley, CA. The most prestigious salon in the area at that time, which won the Reader’s Choice award for the best salon in Marin County 3 consecutive years in a row upon their opening.

 She then decided to move to another 5 star salon called Salon 171, she made the choice because of the amazing atmosphere, location and opportunity to build her own clientele. While working in the Bay Area she decided she would travel down to Orange County to see family and start building a clientele base there to supplement her travels, which she did in Newport at Blissful Beauty Lounge for the last 2 years.

   Although she had grown fond of the bay in the four years of being there, Laguna beach was where Taylor knew she had to be…Her heart was calling her. She looked for the next and very best salon she could find in Laguna, and that was when she came across Indigenous Salon. It was love at first sight, she was head over heels with the salon, location and staff. That was just it for her….She still takes clients from the bay but has since moved to Orange County permanently. Hair is her life work, passion and dream. There is no other career better suited for this little blonde beach babe.

Taylor strives only for the best… with a sunny disposition and love for her craft she will make you look and feel like a new you! Her compassion for her clients is as great as her obsession with finding the most flattering look for them.
