What people are saying about Haircuts with Somatic Hairwork:
“Quite literally changed my relationship to my hair. I've always had a lackluster vibe towards my hair, wore it pulled back every day and didn't think much about styling it. Lauren was able to see what my curls could be and how to cut my hair along the lines of its original nature. I can't tell you how many comments I get now about my hair and I wear it down daily compared to pulled back before. It feels like my hair has been reborn! Can't recommend enough!” Valarie Alt
“Such a feminist approach to a haircut.” Liza Fox
“Lauren does energy work and it looks like a fantastic hair cut. Curlies go to her!” Emma Wiseman
“I'm so happy…It feels like my hair and not just sitting disembodied on top of my head. It feels like it's a part of me and it fits me and it fits my face and it fits my hair texture and I'm just super happy with it and I'm so grateful for your work today, I have told everybody who seen me that you did this all with no product no heat no shampoo necessary it's just my hair and you're cutting magic and I am just super super pleased with it and can't wait to get my next haircut.” Jenny Garibaldi
“Through this process, you find an integration - your hair becomes part of you - your body, your daily meditation or routine instead of imagining that it is separate from us because the internet, culture, identity politics, etc. has made us believe that.” Dustin Senovic
“It feels very sincere, because it’s the way your own hair grows…I feel completely integrated…I love it. Because my hair is very thin… but it doesn’t feel awkward - I really like it. It looks really clean without being boring.” Barbara Lazara
“Thank you for what you gave me. I feel so good.” Mohsen Kashani
“It's like everything is all connected up and together…it just feels !!!” Jen Burke
“My hair feels so different…it feels airy, healthy and softer texture. It feels like one thing. I just love the shape of it. Before it felt like pieces that were really separate from each other and it didn’t come together as one thing. Now, it feels like a thing and it has this beautiful shape, and no product!! That makes me feel really free - to have no product and to have it look good.” Ruti Talmor
“It’a a private ceremony of connecting with some part of us, and you get out of it with something practical to remind you of that.” Bruselas
