ABOUT Me

Hi, I’m Laura. I’m a salon owner, stylist, and the voice behind Prickly Pear. I started this space because beauty should feel approachable, not overwhelming. After years behind the chair and testing more products than I can count, I wanted a place to share the things that actually work and the real stories from salon life!

My mission is simple: to help you feel confident, educated, and inspired. From eco-conscious choices we use in the salon to the best blow dryer for at-home styling to shoes that can survive a 10-hour day, everything here is stylist-tested and truly loved by me.

This is more than hair. It’s lifestyle, sustainability, and connection. Think of it as your behind-the-scenes pass to stylist hacks, honest reviews, and everyday inspiration.

So grab a coffee (or a glass of wine!), scroll around, and stay awhile.
