Amazing energy and an amazing job! It was my first visit there and I felt I was visiting a kindred soul. But more importantly she absolutely nailed the colors I was looking for. Very impressed.

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 ♥️

Tamara is amazing!!! Best hair color and salon experience I’ve ever had. I am a natural dirty blonde, but always like to have it lifted to a light summer blonde. She nailed it. Her 20+ years of experience definitely shows! I highly recommend Tamara and will absolutely be returning for more hair care and a maybe a facial too!
