The Meaning Behind “Gezellig”

“Gezellig”is a Dutch word that means cozy, quaint, and friendly environment, the exact feeling owner Lauren wanted to create when she opened Gezellig Salon & Head Spa in the heart of Ardmore.

Inspired by her family roots in the Netherlands, Lauren fell in love with the cozy, connected feeling that “Gezellig” represents — and built a salon that brings that same energy to life. A calm, welcoming escape where confidence, creativity, and connection all come together.

For our guests, Gezellig is your place to unwind , filled with effortless style, genuine conversation, and hair that feels healthy, shiny, and full of life.
For our stylists, it’s a home base for growth, a space where artists are supported, educated, and empowered to build their dream careers through

collaboration, not competition.

At Gezellig, we believe confidence starts in the chair, and we’re here to help you find yours!

Hey, my name is Lauren, I’m the founder of Gezellig Salon. I’m sure you’re thinking “How did you come up with this name, what does it mean and how do I pronounce it?” It’s a dutch word that means “cozy” My dad is from the Netherlands. I phonetically pronounce it by saying “guz-zell-ig”. I chose this name because it meant something to my family and it’s exactly how I want everyone to feel in my salon, “cozy.”

I strive to provide a comfortable and relaxing experience for our guests.

I’ve been a stylist for 10 years already, and I feel like I’m just getting started. I love building relationships with my guests and learning about you! At the salon, I enjoy offering low-maintenance color services so you don’t feel like you have to come to the salon so often, gray coverage, extensions, and dry hair cutting.
