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!
