Hi, I'm Tara. It's nice to meet you.

I have been a hairstylist specializing in cutting for 23 years.

I teach women about their face shape and craft true custom haircuts designed specifically for them.

I grew up in New York City. I would say I’m a little bit country and a little bit rock & roll. I have lived on both coasts and in the Midwest.

In my travels, I have learned about different lifestyles and cultures. I have worked with a variety of hair textures, face shapes, and bone structures.

I am known for my custom consultations and dry cutting. Dry cutting allows me to feel the texture and weight of your hair. It also helps to give a more balanced and precise haircut. When your hair is dry, I can see exactly how it will frame your beautiful face, enhance your unique features, and show off those gorgeous eyes – giving you a true custom haircut.

“I believe that good design has a profound impact on one’s life. Good design creates balance, organization, and a sense of peace.”

I believe in kindness, transparency, truth, and the ability to nurture. I have a passion for education. I love to teach and will always be a student. I’m so grateful to be part of what is honestly the best industry in the world.

I live for good conversation (and skincare) while providing a positive, safe, and stress-free salon environment.

Schedule a haircut with me, and we can get you looking and feeling your best.

See you soon!

Xo, TS
