THE STYLIST BEHIND THE TRESSING ROOM

Hi, I’m Lore-el.

I am a licensed cosmetologist with a passion for helping children feel comfortable, confident, and cared for during their hair appointments. I specialize in children’s hair because young clients need more than technical skill—they need patience, clear communication, gentle handling, and an environment created with them in mind.


The Tressing Room offers private, one-on-one appointments so each child receives my full attention without the noise, waiting, or distractions of a traditional salon. My goal is to make hair care easier for parents while helping children build positive experiences with their natural hair.


Parents love me because I am:
• A licensed cosmetologist since 2014
• CPR/AED and First Aid certified
• Background screened
• Formally educated about Autism

A Better Hair Appointment for Kids.

One-on-One Attention

Every appointment is private and scheduled for one child at a time, allowing me to focus completely on your child’s comfort and hair.

Child-Centered Care

Appointments are approached with patience, encouragement, breaks when appropriate, and age-appropriate entertainment.

Parent Livestream Access

Parents may view their child’s appointment through a private livestream without needing to remain in the styling room.

Healthy Hair Comes First

Styles are selected and completed with the child’s scalp, hair condition, comfort, and long-term hair health in mind.
