Aura Lash+Beauty Experience
Our number one goal is to make you feel comfortable and at home in our cozy salon.
We offer a complimentary coffee bar with all of the fix-ins, along with water, prebiotic sodas, Alani Nu energy drinks and a variety of snacks.
During your lash service you can relax and doze off, curled up with a heated blanket. Feel free to bring in headphones and listen to your favorite music or podcast, or we're always down to chat!

“Always go with your passions. Never ask yourself if it’s realistic or not.” —Deepak Chopra
I’m Montana. I love starting and ending the day doing hair. I have found my calling, because my workdays fly by while i enjoy the presence of my clients. Building client relationships is important to me, in addition to staying up to date on education. This way I can create the brightest blondes, most vivid reds and coppers, the richest browns, and everything in between. I love my regulars but I also enjoy a good challenge! I have almost a decade of experience in this industry. I have found that balancing my joys in life and commitment to my career have really created a beautiful balance.

Hi! I'm Avery, a licensed esthetician passionate about helping you feel confident and comfortable in your own skin. I believe skincare is more than just treatments, it's self-care, relaxation, and taking time for yourself in the middle of a busy life. My goal is to create a welcoming, judgment-free space where you can unwind while we work together to achieve your goals. Whether you're looking for a relaxing facial, body treatments, waxing, or lashes/brows I'm here to guide you every step of the way. I love educating my clients about their skin and creating personalized treatment plans that fit your lifestyle. Seeing my clients glow both inside and out is the most rewarding part of what I do. I can't wait to meet you!
