Our Story
Lauren and Laura.
Laura and Lauren.
From clients to creators, from friends to business partners—Laura and Lauren built Raen on more than just good hair.
They built it on trust, laughter, and a vision bigger than either of them alone.
It’s the kind of partnership where ideas turn into action, and dreams turn into a studio full of light, color, and confidence.
Because when friendship fuels the business, the whole place shines brighter.
Our Team
A little chaos, a lot of rhythm, and stylists who absolutely understood the assignment.
Come for the hair. Stay for the dance breaks.
That’s just how we do it here.
Laura
Laura has been a licensed stylist since early 2009. She originally planned to be a music teacher, and after four semesters, knew she wanted to go in a different direction so she enrolled at the National Academy of Beauty Arts. After school, she found her passion for color and naturally curly hair. She has invested many hours in advanced classes in color theory, foil highlighting, balayage, and curly-hair cutting. After 12 years as a stylist, she took a leap of faith with Lauren Bernardino and opened RAEN Color Studio!
Laura uses ID Hair’s color line, which includes a traditional permanent color as well as an ammonia-free and ppd free permanent line. She also uses Oligo Blacklight for blonding and always adds Olaplex to any lightning service. Her favorite products for her curly girls include Rikoko, Kenra Platinum, and Ouidad!
Laura was born and raised in St. Louis. She has been married to her husband John since 2002 and they have 2 daughters Zoë and Piper. They also have a few fur babies! When she’s not at the salon, Laura spends her time with her family, leading a Girl Scout troop, going to church, and binge-watching Netflix!

Jamie has been a licensed cosmetologist since 2005. She specializes in women’s hair, with a particular interest in color, while maintaining the hair’s health and integrity. As techniques in the hair industry constantly evolve, Jamie LOVES attending hands-on classes, or even just watching video tutorials from her bed. She has knowledge of several product lines including Id Hair North America, Kevin Murphy, Olaplex, and Redken.
Jamie’s favorite part of being a stylist is building relationships with her clients and fellow stylists. With a background in social work and psychology, she could listen to people’s life stories and day-to-day trials for hours!
