Lauren DeCosimo Beauty

The business is run by Lauren DeCosimo across two locations: a salon at 1550 N Federal Highway in Delray Beach, Florida, which the booking site lists under Renee & Co., and a New York location at 1 Little West 12th St. The booking site offers appointments on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, and lists Monday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday as closed.

Lauren began working as a hair stylist in New York City in 2001, and the booking site lists 24 years of experience there. Her listed specialties include bridal work, color, hair extensions and keratin treatments. The website describes her as a top hairstylist in New York City, says she has won a number of hairstyling and vendor awards, and notes she has worked behind the scenes at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.

Haircuts for short hair, men and pixies start at $50 and take about 30 minutes, including a wash and blow dry. Color work ranges from a glaze or toner with blowout at $95, which can also change the shade to something darker, to hand-painted balayage or highlights with a blowout at $300, which takes about three hours. A single process or root touch-up starts at $140 and runs about 105 minutes including a blowout, priced by time and product used. Pulling single process color through to the ends carries an added product cost, and a haircut can be added to a touch-up for $25 to $50 more.

Color correction starts at $250 and is priced by time, often running from about two and a half to six hours; it requires a call or consultation first. The keratin treatment, also from $250, smooths and conditions hair to reduce frizz and cut down on styling time. Updos for occasions and weddings start at $125, and weekend dates need a call first. Extension retouches are priced as varies, and buying extension hair requires a consultation to settle pricing and color matching.

Wedding appointment requests are made through a questionnaire on the website. On-location appointments are available by email inquiry in NYC, Long Island, The Hamptons, West Palm Beach and surrounding areas. A 24-hour notice is required for cancellations, and cancelling under 24 hours incurs a 50% fee. Buy Now, Pay Later is available for in-person bookings from $50 to $4,000, with approval needed before the appointment. The booking site also lists accepted payment methods and house calls.

Consultations come before color correction, extension purchases and wedding or event hair, so timing and pricing are agreed in advance.
