Meet Your Stylist
Stephanie, Salon and Marketing Manager
Being a long time ReyLynn’s (and now OAK BRUSH) client, Stephanie joined the team as Salon Support when she went back to school at Fort Lewis College in 2020. She learned our salon operations and took over our social accounts, helping us build our online presence.
In May 2022, Stephanie graduated with a degree in Marketing/Digital Marketing AND was promoted to Salon Manager.
Stephanie assisted with the rebranding of our salon, working closely with Lauryn to create all things OAK BRUSH. Our website, social media and online presence is all a product of Stephanie’s continued efforts to showcase our salon!
While she doesn’t “do hair,” Stephanie understands and loves the hair industry as much as her fellow coworkers. She is constantly finding new solutions, services and ways to support our team, our space, our brand and our clients.
Stephanie is our go-to for all things marketing, social media, operations, career planning and plant care.
When she’s not “manager-ing,” she’s caring for all 75+ plants in the salon - her favorite part of the job!
Hello from Lauryn
Howdy friends, I’m Lauryn Williams, owner of OAK BRUSH. I may have given you a solid haircut or a bright new color, or maybe your favorite vintage digs came from one of my pop ups. Maybe you just know my dog, Moose. Either way, I’m glad you’re here.
I love to work with my hands - different textures and colors make me giddy. With an eye for design and attention to detail, I don’t believe I’ll ever feel the need to leave the craft of hair. I’m one of the lucky ones, as I always knew what I wanted to do and was open to where it could take me.
After some time behind the chair and working with other entrepreneurs, I started to crave a way to merge my skills and passions with opportunity and community - starting a small business, my own salon space. I definitely didn’t see this in my future!
Next step was to find a place for this business. I knew I wanted to be close to nature, in a place that was hard to get to... and then, I was introduced to Durango, Colorado. Instantly I wanted nothing more than to call it home and set up shop.
I started on this new adventure and moved to Durango in 2020. The goal was to create an all inclusive and progressive walk-in barbershop, which was a need for Durango, and why Bucks Parlor was opened. It was a great time, but I learned that the business structure wasn’t what I needed to make Durango my home.
I made the hard decision to sell the business, but then, another opportunity arrived. The owners of local hair salon, ReyLynn’s, approached me to take over their business. I purchased the established Durango salon in 2023 and created OAK BRUSH. A fulfilling and great fit.
My favorite part of being a small business owner is creating community; I’m a big believer in you get back what you put out and we definitely attract good energy at OAK BRUSH. We open our space to host pop-ups and other events that rock our socks and give back where we can.
Whether you’re just passing through or a local, we hope you swing by the shop. You’ll find something for you - our salon space offers elevated hair services, with a local feel and a curated selection of products. OAK BRUSH is here to take care of you and your hair. We’ll see you soon.
