Gregory 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. 

As  an entrepreneur looking for a new adventure and wanting to provide high  quality professional hair service to New Mexico, I graduated from: 

the Aveda Institute of NM in 1996, followed in short succession by: 

Vidal Sassoon (Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami) 

Jacques Dessange, Paris 

American Crew, Denver 

Redken, NYC 

Bumble and Bumble, NYC. 

I  love my clients and meeting and exceeding their expectations for  decades. Facing the historic recession of 2008, with dedication to loyal  staff and the Nob Hill neighborhood, I purchased our building on Route  66. 

Needing  a balance between city and country life, I bought a ranch near  Mountainair, NM. Using range restoration techniques from the Quivira  Coalition, I began raising cattle while simultaneously became aware of  the critical value of water and wanted to study natural resource law. In  2010 I returned to school to earn a J.D., concentrating on the Natural  Resource Certificate program, but also the Business and Tax area of law.  Graduating in 2013, I became a prosecuting attorney for the People of  New Mexico in Socorro, Estancia, and Santa Fe. 

I  now offer my legal services to the public in the areas of Criminal,  Property, Water, Business and Tax and Zoning and Planning - co
