Laurrin Rockingham From getting started at Great Clips after finishing cosmetology school at Atlanta Technical College seven years ago, Laurrin has been moving forward towards greater things. First introduced to a full service salon at Macy’s, she fell in love with color, cut and style for a multi-cultural clientele. That experience provided the foundation for the stylist she is today. It also gave her a thirst for product knowledge and the continuing education that is so necessary to remain on the cutting edge of the beauty industry. Always ready to accept a challenge, Laurrin managed Premiere Salons until they closed then moved on to JCPenney’s where her introduction to Farouk Systems was made. With such a solid foundation, she moved to her first independent salon two years later. In a situation where she was solely responsible for her products, her clients and her image, all of the hard work she had put in working two and three jobs was no longer necessary as she was able to pull it all together as a full service stylist. Not one to rest on her laurels, Laurrin took her craft to the next level by becoming an educator, giving her the opportunity not only to share her knowledge with others; but to constantly increase her own. It was at this point that she also began building her portfolio that is the best example of her passion for her trade. Laurrin prides herself most on her client service and the ability to always be an innovator. This is also what she credits to her success; including never being afraid to ask questions.
