Christina is a rarity amongst hair designers. Her innate ability and oh so calming demeanor has her booked for weeks in advance. Her haircutting and coloring skills are world class and can only be rivaled by her styling skills. She can match color, transform a hairstyle or style you for your wedding.
Originally from the Czech Republic, Romana trained extensively in Europe; From Germany to Prague to parts beyond, her international flavor is her strength. Drawing inspiration from diverse cultures she has proven her artistry on the most discriminating clients. Her precision haircutting and color mastery are complimented with her finishing skills, which are beyond comparison.
Nikki's passion for waxing was born out of a less than wonderful experience she had herself. A self-described fanatical wax artist, she is best known for her expedient and thorough Brazilian Bikini Waxing and perfect eyebrows. Drawing clients from all over the US, Nikki has a very loyal following of long-time clients who book weeks in advance to have an appointment.

I was visiting Aspen after 6 weeks on the road and desperately needed my damaged ends seeing to after having worn hair extensions for a long time.
I chose Lather due to its excellent reviews and was very pleased they could accommodate me the following morning. My stylist was Christina and I couldn’t have asked for a better device from start to finish. She was very kind and professional, gave me great advice for free, and gave me a beautiful haircut and gloss treatment. My hair looks like it did before all the damage! 5 stars.

Absolutely a wonderful experience all the way around....Diane at the front was as helpful and friendly as if she were from Texas :), and Romana gave me one of the best hair cuts/colors I have ever had...
Super good all the way around!!

Loved my visit with Lather! The atmosphere was very calm and welcoming. My blowout looked great and my makeup came out amazing! Everyone was very kind and I had no issues whatsoever. Booking an appointment with them was no hassle and the experience overall was wonderful. I recommend getting your hair and makeup done here if you're ever in Aspen!

Kelsey was splendid. She had such a gentle hand which made me trust her immediately. I gave her a very brief description of what I wanted and she knew exactly what to do. Such a young and underrated stylist! Request her- you will not regret it. Additionally, I live in LA and have been to a few well known salons over there however I have yet to be impressed but Kelsey certainly knew exactly what she was doing. Very impressed!

I've been to the salon at St. Regis as well as Super Relax. Two wildly different experiences at the opposite spectrums and because Super Relax is so incredibly bad, it's worth mentioning yet again even in this review.
Now to the good stuff!
I called in advance and spoke to Cathy. She was welcoming and very friendly. I set an appointment for 1:30 with Carol.
It was my first time and as I started walking according to the GPS, I had to stop and call as I didn't go quite far enough and was lost. Once agin, Cathy answered the phone and sweetly said she could see us and waved us

What an amazing experience!! Bottom line, truly the best my hair has ever looked and the confidence it gave me is immeasurable. I won't go anywhere else. Ever. I was nervous it might be too expensive but it really wasn't and I had a LOT of work to be done. You know how you pass a mirror or a window that's reflecting and you look at your hair and think, "damn it, I need to get my hair looking better" - Yes, I was doing that and then I finally went to Lather. Best decision ever.
I'm new to the Valley, not Aspen but closer to Glenwood. I'm a busy, traveling

The photo attached is from 17 days after the manicure. It's held up really well! Came to Lather for a gel manicure and was pleased with the service and how well the gel has held up. The salon was very clean and the area for the manicures was, too. The technician was really great. I don't have my cuticles or hang nails cut at salons due to issues I've had in the past. She used one of the small wooden tools that's used to clean up polish mistakes and it was the most gentle and effective way to clean up the cuticle area. I'll be requesting that from now on in my hometown.

I went to Lather after a very long travel day from NYC. I called right when I landed for a blowout and the receptionist at Lather was beyond friendly. She was able to book an appointment two hours after I called. Jeff did my hair and was amazing. He asked for what I wanted and understood the look I was going for. The final result was beautiful, smooth and flowy, which is not always easy with my thick long locks. I highly recommend this salon for all hair needs. Will definitely come again next time I'm in Aspen!

I can't say enough good things about Lather. I came to Aspen from Oklahoma for my wedding. From the very first phone call, the staff was so friendly and helpful (particularly Diana - she coordinated everything perfectly for me, even last minute urgent timing changes!) Christina was my stylist, and she absolutely made my hair perfect and exactly how I envisioned it on my wedding day. My mom was with April. I'm not sure I've ever seen my mom's hair look so pretty! Everything was perfect & we both thoroughly enjoyed our experience!

The best salon ever. My hair was awful going into the salon. Erin did a beautiful job on my hair. I got highlights and a cut. She suggested less is better to keep my hair healthy, Wow !!! Everyone was so kind, book your appointment early!!! I'm already booked in for my March Appointment!!! and I live in Florida.

I had an initial bad experience where I was more than disappointed with the haircut I had received. However, Kathy, the Operations Manager, called me (to my surprise because I was not expecting it) to apologize and find out what happened. I explained the situation to her and she offered to reimburse the money or get a complimentary appointment with a different stylist. I decided to give it another chance.
I am glad I did. Jeff understood exactly what I was looking for. He was very polite and approachable from the start. I showed him a few pictures of my previous haircuts and he got it perfectly

I have been a loyal client of Lather salon since Ramana styled my hair for my wedding over 12 years ago. The level of service, the smiles, the atmosphere and the quality of both my cut and color cannot be matched. I fly all the way from North Carolina and make sure that getting my hair done is a part of my regular visits. Jeff has assembled a great team-- from Kathy at the front, Nikki in nails, to Christina and Ramana on the floor. These women are professional, talented and always a delight to converse with in the chair. Lather will always be one of my favorite "highlights" in Aspen.

Lather is a gem in Aspen. The owner and staff are skilled professionals, the atmosphere is welcoming and the corner setting is modern and bright. I had a cut + color this week. Jeff did a fabulous job. Asking questions about preferences, and nailing the style and color. And, being on the go, I appreciated it started and ended on time. Looking forward to the next visit and recommend it to those looking for a great look and luxe experience.

Jeff and the Lather team did my hair, along with my bridesmaids, for my wedding in July. They were incredible! They arrived to the Jerome early, had fun with everyone while keeping right on schedule and were a pleasure to spend time with. They worked hard to find the right style for each girl, and make sure each one looked and felt beautiful. I absolutely loved my hair (which held up perfectly). Jeff is truly talented. Thank you Lather team!
