She’s your gal for anything product-related, and loves to teach clients about handling their hair at home. But beware — she may give you a firm-but-fair scolding if she finds you using non-professional products.

She's a fanatic resident of Bay Village, frequent visitor of Miami to see her best friend John (nail artist to Ivanka Trump and Camilla Cabello), Mother to Roman St. John (best baby), and the proud owner of two dogs, Lincoln and Franklin Marie. Lincoln is a DMX-style pit bull and Franklin her beagle, dresses as a pit bull, so as not to ruin their street credibility.

She’s always taking new clients and looks forward to seeing you in her chair soon.

Despite looking 25 years old, Tara recently celebrated her 20th year in the salon industry.

Tara values salon ALL-clusivity, camaraderie, and disrupting the status quo. You’ll see this running through every detail of V+A, including sourcing high-end products and prioritizing philanthropy. You’ll likely see her walking around in an avant-garde outfit, telling stories & chit-chatting with clients. The highlight of her career was attending the Vidal Sassoon Academy in Toronto in 2018 (Vidal is the creator of many famous looks, including Mia Farrow’s pixie cut — Google it!). She specializes in cuts and color and is ALWAYS up for a challenge.
