About Rigpa

Rigpa has been practicing the art of mindful hair styling for almost 30 years and continuously grows her practice through ongoing education. A graduate of Naropa University, Landmark Education, and The Boulder School of Energy studies, she is influenced personally and professionally and has been provided with a unique perspective on how she approaches hair. Along with hairstyling, Rigpa is a practitioner and teacher of Kundalini Yoga, Tantric Numerology, and Human Design. She lives and extends her yogic lifestyle practices into all that she does. Outside of the salon, she spends much time in nature, playing with her pup, riding her bikes, or relishing in one kind of retreat or another. She continues to study and practice conscious living and has a small practice where she brings this work to other individuals

Her approach to hair reflects her holistic and natural lifestyle, and she considers her craft to be an extension of those values. Her hair philosophy focuses on simplicity and enhancing the hair’s natural state of being. She believes that by designing and styling along with the hair’s natural structure and essence, a more sustainable style can be achieved for both lifestyle and personal tastes. The result is enhancing and loving what one naturally has. Rigpa specializes in short and long, textured, wavy, and curly hair types. She emphasizes finger styling along with no-heat styling. She loves to work with all kinds of textures and all types of curls. Rigpa is also one of the first stylists in Boulder to become Deva Curl certified. She uses Oway organic hair color and Wella hair color. Rigpa also has 15 years of experience in dreadlocks and specializes in dreadlock maintenance, repairs, felting, and styling (creative styles for events, etc.)
