Unreasonable hospitality

As an entrepreneur and owner of Lavish Hair Lounge since 2014, Desirre has built her career around leadership, education, and creating opportunities for others. Her accomplishments include coloring hair for the cover of Modern Salon, creating color looks for celebrities in film, and having her work published by numerous leading industry brands.

She believes personal and professional growth go hand in hand, and that success comes from continuous learning, accountability, and a willingness to evolve. Her personal mission is to help people create sustainable, fulfilling careers within the beauty industry by providing the tools, education, and opportunities they need to thrive both personally and professionally.

MJ spent four years behind the chair at Lavish before discovering that her love for the salon went beyond hair. Today, she brings together her love for creativity, marketing, and people to help shape the experience guests and stylists have every day.

As Salon Coordinator, she’s thinking about the details, supporting the team, and finding ways to make everything feel a little more thoughtful. She believes luxury is less about what you notice and more about how you’re made to feel… and ideally, she’s already thought of everything so you don’t have to.

Mari is who answers when you call and who’s at the desk when you walk in. She handles scheduling and checkout and passes messages between you and your stylist. If something’s off during your visit, tell Mari.

She’s working toward becoming a stylist herself. She’s newer to Albuquerque, has two little kids, and bakes treats for every party she can find an excuse for.
