Gregory co-founded Laru Ni Hati  in 1990 after graduating from New York University with degrees in Urban Planning/Economics, and working as an Urban Planner in Manhattan. 

6-years of growing the business from the front desk, inspired me to attend the Aveda Institute, and work behind the chair. During the next decade I attended hands-on workshops at Vidal Sassoon Academy (Los Angeles, San Francisco, & Miami Beach, Jacques Dessange (Paris), American Crew (Denver), Redken (NYC), and Bumble and Bumble (NYC). I see each client as a puzzle and enjoy figuring out what style fits with minimum daily maintenance.
