This month, we’re excited to shine the spotlight on Taylor Lopez, a stylist whose passion and precision are felt the moment you sit in her chair. With just over four years in the beauty industry, Taylor continues to find new ways to fall in love with her craft—and it shows in every detail of her work. From soft, seamless balayage to confidence-boosting haircuts that make clients feel runway-ready, Taylor takes great pride in creating looks that feel both elevated and effortless.
When did you first realize doing hair could be more than a job?
“I always loved all things hair, starting in middle school, but I didn’t realize I could use my passions towards my career until I was in high school. I came to the Bellus Raw Talent Scholarship event, and that made me realize this is the career for me.”
Beyond hair, Taylor’s artistry extends into the world of lashes and brows, where her keen eye and steady hand truly shine. Whether she’s performing lash lifts, fills, or extensions, Taylor approaches each service with patience, care, and meticulous attention to detail. Every guest who relaxes at her lash station leaves feeling polished, confident, and wearing what might just be the best lashes in town.
What are the benefits of a lash lift and tint, you might ask? Here are just some of the benefits of getting this amazing service with Taylor. A lash lift and tint enhances natural lashes by lifting them from the root and dyeing them darker, providing a low-maintenance, mascara-like look that lasts 6-8 weeks. It makes lashes appear longer, thicker, and more curled, creating a more open, refreshed look without daily curling or mascara.
When you approach a new guest, what do you notice first that they probably don’t realize you see?
“I think the first thing I notice about a guest is how they are wearing their hair when they come in or their outfit. You can tell a lot about a guest if they normally like to pull their hair back or like it down and styled! And then with their outfit, you can tell if they are a business professional or have a relaxed style!”
Describe a transformation that mattered emotionally more than visually?
**“An experience I had with my guest that mattered emotionally more than visually was when I had a guest who was dealing with postpartum hair loss, and I transformed her hair and gave her tips and tricks to help her with her journey.”
Taylor would love to welcome you into her chair—whether you’re stopping in for a shampoo and style, a lash refresh, or a full color transformation. Book with Taylor online today or give us a call at Gaia Salon to schedule your next experience.**
