BLANCO LAURÉNT
Wig Stylist. Serial Entrepreneur. Creator.
Blanco is the driving force and creative mind behind Mink Lounge — a master wig stylist and visionary entrepreneur with a 30-year background in hospitality and real estate. Her work blends beauty, luxury, and precision, shaped by decades spent studying how people live, feel, and experience spaces.
Her career began in the hotel world, where she mastered the art of service, ambiance, and elevated guest experiences. In real estate, she built a reputation for transforming properties into high-value, high-impact spaces with unmistakable style. Those same skills now power Mink Lounge — a brand built on comfort, beauty, and quiet luxury.
Blanco is known for her mastery in wig design and customization, creating pieces that look seamless, natural, and effortlessly glamorous. Women trust her work because she understands not just hair, but identity. Her artistry has become a signature in its own right — modern, flawless, and deeply personal.
As the architect of Mink Lounge, Blanco brings her full spectrum of talents together: design, hospitality, beauty, and vision. She builds brands the same way she builds spaces — with intention, excellence, and a standard few can match.
A creator.
