Tamara is an amazing dreadlocks artist. She has been maintaining my locs from the very start of my journey and I couldn’t be happier. From tiny baby locs to mature, long, thick locs she has helped me take beautiful care of them. Regular maintenance has been key and her detox service is amazing. Her artistry…

I can not say enough about Tamara! What an incredible experience starting my dreadlock journey. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and professional but equally humble and down to earth. I’m 46 and had my whole head locked for the first time. I couldn’t possibly love them more! Highly recommend!

Tamera was absolutely amazing. She did such an amazing job on my new locs I couldn’t possibly be happier. She listened well and I got exactly what I wanted and was offered advice to help me make a decision on the style and color. It was such an amazing experience and will always cherish this.

Best loctician around! Tamara installed and has been maintaining my locs. I look forward to every visit! She has incredible attention to detail, a great selection of adornments, works fast, and she's great to have a conversation with.

I travelled all the way from Southern Ontario Canada just because I became obsessed with Tamara’s work seen on her socials. She started locs for me in her cute little studio. It was so calming and fun to be there, to meet her and chat while she created my hair dreams! I am in love with my hair and so wish I lived closer to come back again!

Tamara! She is so wonderful. Her kindness above all is equally as splendid as her skill in creating lovely locs and coloring! I had the best time with her! I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a professional color and or to get locs!! I love that we could talk about literally anything and everything ♥️

I’ve wanted locs for roughly 30 years and finally life allowed me to experience them. Tam fulfilled that dream. She is a wonderful soul who made the experience comfortable and fun. I’m so excited to go on this journey. Thank you Tam for making that happen for me!

Walked into the Moonsage Salon with uncertainty of what I wanted to do with my hair and distrust with stylists from past experiences. Tamara could instantly feel my vibes and had me leaving the Moonsage feeling confident and more relaxed than I have felt in ages. Facial and massage were 10 out of 10! My hair came…

Years had gone by since getting any maintenance on my locs, and the difference is unbelievable. Absolutely premium-quality work from start to finish.

This is my second time visiting with Tamara. The first time was just to have a few dreadlocks installed to see if I like them. Now that several months have gone by, I went to visit with Tamara and had just about a full head of real hair extension dreadlocks and color. I am absolutely in love with my hair. I was so…

This was my first time getting dread locks. This is a very different experience compared to getting a haircut and styled. Tamara makes this more personalized and sees her clients as individuals rather than just another customer. Her studio creates a cozy and creative space which I enjoyed. Tamara explained…
