Ms. Lauri was the FORCE of Hair Force Academy! She definitely is leaving behind a GREAT LEGACY filled with decades of memories from her students enrolled at her Cosmetology school. She knew hair coloring like nobody elses business! When I was a student, in 1995, she had instructors BUT she tought her own hair coloring segments. She was truly a person of her profession ALWAYS ROCKING the best haircuts & colors! Her assymestrical bobs & deep reds were my favorites of her hairstyles! She was a younger Ms. Lauri back then & she would be in her office running her books, collecting & posting tuition payments! She didnt PLAY.. you had to PAY! ..She laid a GREAT FOUNDATION & GAVE the BEST KNOWLEDGE on how to be a successful Cosmetologist. I still remember the knowledge she shared about the business. She was also a GREAT EXAMPLE of Entrepreneurship & being a Business Owner. I remember she loved her children & their Dad, going to the casinos & Terry was always her right hand man! I cant mention or think about Ms. Lauri without thinking about Terry too & vice-versa. Hair Force Academy & so many of her students working in the beauty industry will carry out her legacy. We will always represent her life & share her legacy she built and left behind. God bless her children, Terry, and her family & friends forever! Wish I had known earlier, My Mom (Customer) just shared the news with me a few days ago after she found out from a former student. LOVE YOU MS. LAURI! ❤
