Master Stylist 15+ Years Experience Lincoln, NE

Had a bad color experience?
Let's fix that.

I'm Laura Hawk, a color correction specialist in Lincoln, Nebraska. I fix what other salons got wrong - and help you finally love your hair again.

I know what it's like to walk out of a salon fighting back tears.

Banding. Breakage. Brassy orange when you wanted champagne blonde.

You trusted someone with your hair - and they let you down.

You're not starting over. You're starting right.

Focus. Reflect. Refine.

Every great transformation starts with a conversation. Here's how I work with you to get the results you deserve.

Your beauty journey begins with a listening ear. Your unique style, preferences, and aspirations come first. I take the time to understand what you want - and what went wrong before.

Laura Hawk

Master Stylist & Color Correction Specialist

With over 15 years behind the chair, I've built my career on one belief: everyone deserves to leave the salon feeling genuinely beautiful. Originally from Colorado, I spent nearly a decade in New York before calling Nebraska home in 2008.

I graduated from Joseph's College of Beauty in 2009 and later attended the College of Hair Design for barbering in Lincoln. Over the years, I've managed multiple salons and honed my craft into a focused specialty - color correction and blonding.

Outside the salon, I'm a proud mother of four: Aveian, Gavin, Maverick, and Novalee. My mission is simple - provide Lincoln with the best colors, haircuts, and extension applications, one client at a time.

Questions & Answers

What is hair color correction?

Hair color correction is the process of fixing a color result that didn't turn out as intended. This includes fixing banding, removing brassiness, correcting uneven color, repairing over-processed hair, and transitioning from one color to another safely. As a color correction specialist in Lincoln, NE, I assess the current state of your hair and create a customized plan to get you to your goal color while prioritizing hair health.

How much does color correction cost?

Every color correction situation is unique, so pricing varies based on the current state of your hair, your goal color, and the number of sessions needed. That's exactly why I offer a free consultation first - so I can assess your hair in person, give you an honest timeline, and provide a clear price estimate before any work begins. No surprises.

How long does a color correction take?

It depends on the severity of the issue. Some corrections can be done in a single session of 3-5 hours, while others require multiple sessions spaced weeks apart. I always prioritize the health of your hair over speed. During your free consultation, I'll give you a realistic timeline so you know exactly what to expect.

Can damaged bleached hair be fixed?

Yes, in most cases. With the right approach, professional-grade products like Moroccanoil color, and a lot of patience, even severely damaged bleached hair can be brought back to a healthy, beautiful state. I'll be honest about what's achievable and build a treatment plan that restores both the color and condition of your hair.

What is balayage vs highlights?

Highlights use foils to create uniform, evenly spaced lighter pieces throughout the hair. Balayage is a freehand painting technique that creates a more natural, sun-kissed, graduated look - lighter at the ends, softer at the roots. Balayage typically grows out more gracefully and requires less maintenance. During your consultation, I'll help you decide which technique best fits your style and lifestyle.

Do you offer free consultations?

Absolutely. I offer free consultations for all new clients. It's the best way for me to see your hair in person, understand your goals, and build a plan together - with no pressure and no obligation. You can book your free consultation right now using the booking link on this page.
