Lauren Christine Hair Artistry opens in Geneva

Experienced hair stylist Lauren Giardino is opening a new hair salon in Geneva.

The Geneva Chamber of Commerce will hold a ribbon cutting for Lauren Christine Hair Artistry, 1 W. State St., Suite 101, at 4 p.m. April 11.

Giardino has worked in the industry for more than 17 years. During the last decade, she was an independent salon suite owner, but she missed the salon atmosphere, the inspiration stylists gets from one another and being part of a team, according to a news release.

Salon suites and chair rentals are changing the industry and there are not many full-service salons around the area anymore. That is when Giardino decided to extend her knowledge and expand her business, according to the release.

“I really wanted to bring back the commission-style salons,” Giardino said in the news release. “Being your own boss is great, but it is expensive, there is a lot on oneself, and you have to have a lot of discipline. I am here to do all of that for my employees.”

Lauren Christine Hair Artistry specializes in men’s and women’s haircuts, curly cuts, custom coloring, hair extensions, keratin treatments, bridal hair and makeup, special occasion hair and esthetics, according to the release.

Currently four stylists are ready to take appointments and accepting new clients. Two new stylists are undergoing the training program and will be ready to take clients this fall and winter.

A lot of new things will be coming to the salon soon, including the addition of an esthetician and Med Spa services, according to the release.

Lauren Christine Hair Artistry accepts walk-ins, but appointments are preferred. Book an appointment online at laurenchristinehairartistry.com or call (630) 457-5028. The salon is running a 10% off promotion for first-time customers when an appointment is booked with Liz, Erica or Paige Rose. Mention “Artistry” at time of booking.
