livedinbylauren

livedinbylauren is a hair business in Plymouth, run by Lauren, who owns it and does the hair herself. The work centers on custom color, planned around how each client lives and what they like rather than a single standard formula.

Booking happens through Instagram direct message. Prices and the service menu are not published on the website, so prospective clients ask for them there. A valid credit card secures every appointment and stays on file for booking purposes. Walk-ins are not accepted.

Because the space is limited, guests come alone unless a child or friend has a service booked too. Cancellations or reschedules need at least 48 hours' notice; later changes are charged 50% of the scheduled service, and a missed appointment with no call is charged the full service and ends the option to book with the owner. Clients who are running late should text or call, since arriving more than 15 minutes late may change the appointment time and carry a 50% charge. All services are non-refundable, but a client unhappy with their hair can contact the owner within 7 days of the appointment for a complimentary fix.

Salon-quality haircare products are sold through an online store linked from the website. The business is open Tuesday through Thursday from 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM, Friday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and Saturday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and is closed Monday and Sunday.

Lauren aims for color that lasts, and tailors each appointment to the individual client.

A small, appointment-only space with limited room, so guests usually come alone.
