Saved the day at my friends wedding!

My friend's original hair stylist had to cancel her booking a week before her wedding on 10/28/23, and tossed us all into a panic. I had just booked Tara for my wedding next summer, so I reached out just to check. Thankfully she was available and came to our rescue. Tara was AMAZING to work with-- she was so friendly, fun, and a great burst of energy to start my friends wedding. She did such a wonderful job with all of our hair styling, I didn't even recognize my fine hair with all the volume she gave me! The brides hair was beautifully styled as well, and she even touched up my hair a bit right before she left. I'm so excited to work with her again for my wedding next year!! I highly recommend Tara.

10/10 would recommend!!

After checking out her Instagram, I knew I wanted her as my hairstylist! From trial to bridal, Tara was so much fun to work with and has such a great personality! I was originally worried my hair was too thin, but she assured me that it wasn’t and I loved my look! On the day of my wedding, I changed my mind and wanted a similar look but softer not as textured and she didn’t even blink an eye, said I got you and got to work. I’ve truly never felt more beautiful and my entire wedding party felt the same. Thank you again Tara!!

Dream Wedding Hairstyle

I found Tara though another of our vendors and I could not have been happier! All I had to do was show her a photo example, and she just automatically knew how to duplicate it and have the style come out perfectly. On the day of I asked for a few small changes. We discussed it together and she knew exactly what to do. I was SO HAPPY with the results!! Tara absolutely nailed my hairstyle that seamlessly complimented my dress, make-up, and venue. My friends were also so complimentary of her and she helped make my day amazing. Thank you so much Tara!!
