Introducing Lauren Pender

About me
My name is Lauren Pender, I am 24 years old , a Senior Hairdresser and the Manager at Ataraxia By Morgan Drew.
I am fun , caring , quirky and a little silly but thats all part of the fun ! I love a chat and creating beautiful hair for my clients !
I specialise in all hairdressing skills but my most favourite are blondes , balayage , colour correction and creative cutting . I pride my self on customer service and always strive to do my best!
My journey as a hairdresser began at 14 , when I landed my first ever job as a salon assistant , after just a few shifts of sweeping the floor I quickly realised that being a hairdresser is what my dreams desired and I was eager to learn !
2 years later I started a 4 year apprenticeship where my skills developed and my passion grew. In 2018 , 3 years after completing my apprenticeship I needed a change so I went with my gut feeling and followed my heart to “ Ataraxia by Morgan Drew” in my time working with Morgan my hairdressing skills have broadened immensely, my passion for hairdressing is stronger than ever and my love for education and learning has grown. In 2019 I was given the opportunity to be the Manager at Ataraxia , and boy am i so proud to be !
So theres a little time line of my journey so far , 10 years in the industry later I now have a consistent booking clientele , confidence , leadership skills and a passion for hairdressing that keeps on growing !
I love seeing all off my beautiful clients every day , there is no better buzz than seeing your client love their “ new do “
Ataraxia is my hair home and boy does hair have my heart
