Laura Hawk

Master Stylist & Color Correction Specialist — Lincoln, Nebraska

Laura Hawk is the founder of Arc Light Salon, located inside Serenity Salon and Day Spa in Lincoln, NE. With over 15 years behind the chair, she has built her career around one specialty: fixing hair color that other salons got wrong.

Background & Training

Originally from Colorado, Laura spent nearly a decade in New York before calling Nebraska home in 2008. She graduated from Joseph's College of Beauty in 2009 and later attended the College of Hair Design for barbering in Lincoln. Over the years, she has managed multiple salons and refined her craft into a focused specialty — color correction and blonding.

Laura exclusively uses Moroccanoil color products, chosen for their quality, consistency, and gentleness on previously damaged hair. This matters especially for color correction clients whose hair has already been through significant chemical processing.

How much does color correction cost in Lincoln, Nebraska?

Color correction pricing varies because every case is unique. Laura offers a $30 consultation to assess your hair in person, discuss your goals, and provide an honest estimate. The consultation fee is applied as a credit toward your first color service.

Can damaged bleached hair be fixed?

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

What is the difference between balayage and 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.
