Style by Tara

Tara is absolutely wonderful. She arrived early, made sure all 9 of us were well taken care of and even had time afterwards to touch everyone up. She is personable, hilarious and has such a soft touch with everyone she encounters. She’s an artist at her trade and you’d be crazy not to book her. Phenomenal!

Tara was THE BEST! So talented, hard working, and efficient with the best attitude! My curls lasted all night and she listened to make sure each piece of hair was exactly where I wanted it. She was also so fun and positive and kept me calm through the getting ready process. All my girls were thrilled with their hair as well- if you can book her don’t hesitate for a second!

Tara was absolutely wonderful to work with! I had my trial with her 3 months before the wedding where we tried 3 different styles (which all looked amazing!) but on wedding day I decided to change it up and Tara delivered! She did an incredible job on me, my mom, stepmom, and all my girls. She arrived at 6:30am and stayed with us until we left at 1pm, touching up every girl before walking out the door. Our hair lasted all day, even in the heat! She made me look and feel so beautiful 🥹 My bridesmaids can't stop raving about her and neither can I. Do not hesitate to book with Tara!

Tara is absolutely amazing!!!!! I truly cannot put it into words!! She busted out 8 girls for an 11am ceremony and all of us looked amazing!!! The hair stayed the entire day and she did exactly what everyone asked for!! She was also kind enough to help my mom a little bit who wasn’t even scheduled to have her hair done!! She was so kind and fun and made me feel so calm! I got soooo many compliments on my hair! She made sure we were right on time for the photographer and ceremony! She even stuck around for touch ups! Honestly, I cannot say enough good things!!

Tara is the absolute best. Not only is her work beautiful but she was so helpful with all aspects of the day. She saved the day when she came to my venue even though it wasn’t planned, to touch me up because the wind got to me.

Tara was AMAZING to work with! From the minute I spoke with her over the phone, I knew she would be the perfect hair stylist for my big day. When I finally met her in person at my trail, it felt like I was hanging out with an old friend. She is friendly, funny and SO talented. At my trial, she tried out three different styles and while doing so, talked me through the pros & cons of each style. This was SO helpful in making my final decision about how to wear my hair for the wedding. Tara let me rent one of her halo extensions to add volume to my hair and also let my mom use one of her beautiful hair pins! The day of, Tara arrived right on time (maybe even early) and got right to work! In addition to my hair, she did my five bridesmaids, my mom and my mother-in-law. Tara asked everyone what they had in mind for their styles and was constantly asking them if there was anything they didn't like as she worked on them. Everyone really enjoyed working with Tara and LOVED how their hair came out. She was never rushed or short on time. She stayed until right before the bridal party left in case anyone needed anything fixed. Everyone's hair stayed in place and looked great all night long even with ALL the dancing we did. I can't wait to use Tara again in the future when I need my hair done! If you need a hair stylist... HIRE TARA! You won't regret it!!

Tara is the absolute best to work with. Her personality makes you feel comfortable from the second you meet her. I had to change my wedding three times over two years because of Covid and she was always there every step of the way willing to work with me. In a very stressful time she is someone you can rely on. And her talent above all else is flawless. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day. She also did gorgeous styles on all of my bridesmaids and flower girls. Everyone was beyond happy with their hair.

Tara was absolutely amazing !! She is so sweet and just fun to be around. My bridesmaids loved her & were SO happy with their hairstyles. She was quick but did not rush & even stuck around for a bit after we were all finished incase anyone needed anything fixed. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a hairstylist, you won’t regret it !

I recently got married and Tara did the hair styles for me, 5 bridesmaids, and two mothers. When first looking for hair stylists I was quickly overwhelmed by the number of options. I appreciated that Tara's website was easy to use, had multiple examples of her work, and listed her prices upfront. At the trial I immediately felt comfortable withe Tara. She let me try out multiple styles and even arrange a second trial. I did wind up renting one of the 'halo's and I'm so happy they were an option - it made a really big difference for an affordable price. On the morning of the wedding I appreciated that Tara took her time to make sure everyone was happy. I definitely recommend her!!

Tara is so talented and fun! Highly recommend going for a trial as close to the wedding date as possible

Tara was such a joy to work with. She completed hair for 10 people over the course of 5 hours with not a stitch of a rush. She came super early given the early start time for my wedding. She was so sweet to all bridesmaids and family in the bridal suite. I wish I could do it all over just to hang out with Tara some more! Hire Tara, you won’t regret it.

Tara did my hair along with my 10 bridesmaids, 1 junior bridesmaid, flower girl & mother and she did absolutely amazing!!! Everyone looked gorgeous and our hair stayed great the whole day/night (and it was a LONGGGG day). She is so sweet and talented and I am forever grateful to have had her on my special day :) Not only did she make us all beautiful but she was so accommodating throughout the whole process which really helps with being an anxious bride at times!!!! Loved her. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!!!!

Tara was possibly my favorite vendor for my wedding! She is incredibly talented, charismatic, and professional. My wedding was originally planned for July 2020, but we postponed to this summer, July 2021. Tara was communicative and responsive throughout this process. When I went for my trial in 2019, she took her time with me and showed me multiple styles with hair pieces of her own that she could rent out and recommend, when I wasn't sure what I wanted. The month before my wedding, she did a trial with my mother, who is a cancer survivor and self-conscious about her hair. She made my mom look and feel beautiful, comfortable and confident. Two weeks before my wedding, I was having trouble finding hair extensions to match my highlights. Tara took time out of her schedule, had me come into her salon, and she was able to work with her extensions to match my color. Last, but not least, the day of the wedding, Tara did an amazing job on my hair, along with my mother, grandmother, and 8 bridesmaids. She added to the fun atmosphere of getting ready that day, with her outgoing, funny personality. She stayed until we were all ready to leave for the first look, and made sure not a single hair was out of place. All of our hair stayed perfectly styled and in tact through the end of the reception, even on the long, hot summer day. I can't wait to see all the photos from my photographer, because I know my hair is going to look amazing! I will always treasure my memory of working with Tara, and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.

Booking Tara for hair was the best wedding decision I could have made! Not only did she have an outgoing personality which made every trial, check in, and day of enjoyable, her expertise is also unmatched! She will give you exactly what you are looking for, and more. If you haven’t booked a hair vendor yet, book her quick! You and your bridal party will be SO happy you did :)

Tara is a fantastic stylist and overall person! From my trial to the day of, Tara was exceptional. She listened to my likes/vision and made my dream hair come to life! Her attention to detail is amazing - she even stayed until we were about to go to the venue just incase there were any last minute touch ups needed. Her work speaks for itself, I can’t even count the number of compliments I received about my hair. If there’s any advice I can give to future brides, it is to book Tara today!!

Tara is amazing. Starting at the trial she helped me pick which style would best match my vision- and she did a few variations that I could consider using based on what the weather ended up being on my wedding day. On the day of she truly delivered. I absolutely loved how my hair looked, and my bridal party and mom looked stunning . Additionally Tara herself is so fun to be around. Not only is she funny but she was also so attentive, she made sure I was comfortable, answered all of my questions and really helped get rid of any of my nerves.

Tara is the absolute best. She can execute any style with you perfection. She went above and beyond to make sure I looked incredible on my wedding day. she payed attention to every small detail, checking on the weather, and had everything with her to make sure my hair was exactly the way in envisioned. Now that my wedding is over, I’d definitely go to Tara for other special events. Stop searching, and hire Tara!

Tara went above and beyond for my wedding this weekend. Not only did she make me, my mom, and bridesmaids look absolutely stunning but she was able to accommodate some major last minute changes in timing and schedule. She was always quick to respond when I was going back and forth about even still having the wedding and her personality makes it that much better. We felt like she was part of the bridal party while we were getting ready! She stayed until we were out the door and helped take some pictures to boot! 100% recommend!

Tara was absolutely amazing! After doing my hair trial I knew she was the one. She does amazing work and has an awesome personality. I knew I needed her to be there on the day of my wedding for my sanity. I thought she did great for my trial but on the day of my wedding it was even better & stayed all night which is not easy because I have such thick, full hair. I promise you will not be disappointed with Tara!

Tara was absolutely amazing! She was so much fun to work with and was able to do everything me and all the girls asked for. She is very professional, talented and it was an absolute pleasure to have her their on my wedding day!

Tara was the absolute best! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience on my big wedding day! Tara did a sensational job on my hair and all of my bridesmaids hair, she hung and danced with us like she was one of the girls, and if we wanted to change our hair style at the absolute last moment (girls can be picky), she’d happily switch it up with a smile. Tara even stayed while my pictures were being taken and then after to help with cleaning/exiting the executive suite we had to get ready in. Taras awesome personality and expertise to listen to what we envision for our hair and then replicate it, was awesome. Thank you Tara for making my day special!

Tara was amazing. I was very picky with my hair for my wedding day and Tara was the 4th stylist I tried before making a decision. But as soon as I sat down in Tara’s chair for my trial I knew she was “the one.” Tara seemed to know what I wanted to do with my hair even before I did, and gave me suggestions. The night before my wedding the bridal party gave me a bit of a hard time with last minute scheduling changes and Tara fielded my texts and let me vent like an old friend. Everyone was thrilled with their hair, and so was I. I would recommend Tara in a heart beat.

Tara was absolutely amazing! She did my hair along with 7 other girls and everyone looked gorgeous! She is also extremely fun and personable and made the early morning, getting ready process so much fun! I could not have possibly been happier!

Tara was an essential member of my wedding day glam squad! Her positive vibes kept me feeling calm and in control on what can be a pretty stressful morning! She was super accommodating when I had to add someone a week before the wedding, and she recommended a great place for me to get hair extensions! She prepped them the night before so they looked perfect. I would absolutely recommend Tara to anyone!

This review is LONG over due but so necessary. Tara is a goddess! She is the most professional but laid back hair stylist I have ever had the pleasure of working with! She listens to your ideas but also can finish your sentence with what you want. She takes her time with each bride and bridesmaids but also can perform 8 up-dos in 4 hours! She was THE best! She made me feel so comfortable on a day where any brides nerves are on end! And she has the CUTEST Pomeranian pups ever. Tara is amazing I would recommend her a million times over!

Tara is absolutely amazing you would be crazy not to use her! She is not only so much fun and so easy going but she does the most amazing work. My sister used her last year and after seeing her work I had to have her for my wedding. Thank you Tara for making me look and feel my best, you are the best of the best!!!

Tara was truly one of the highlights of my big day! She not only made me feel like a queen but made every single girl feel special as well! She is beyond talented and everyone kept raving about my hair and all the girls hair all night! Tara is truly amazing and helped make my wedding day absolutely PERFECT!

Tara was great! All my bridesmaids loved their hair! I also loved mine- I looked so glamorous! She is also really easy to get along with, which makes the whole experience even better. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone who is friendly, skilled, and professional! Thank you Tara!

Tara was simply amazing from the second I decided to book her! She helped me pick the right halo extension for what i was looking for, she made me feel relaxed about my hair leading up to the day of and was an absolute joy and positive energy in the room while the chaos of 11 women and 1 little girl ran around the room all trying to get ready and look their best. Everyone's hair looked fabulous and lasted through all of the photos, ceremony, copious champagne, and dancing! Thank you Tara for helping to make our day perfect🤗

We had trouble booking someone to do hair for our wedding - nobody was standing out, and it's super important to pick someone that not only does a great job, but is someone you want to be around on your wedding day! That person was 100% Tara for us. From the moment we did our trial to the moment we waved goodbye as we were off to the venue, Tara went above and beyond in every way. She's fun, hysterical, and is SO good at what she does. She made the getting ready process fun and every single bridesmaid walked out of the room excited about their hair (on the way to the venue they were like "you couldn't have chosen a more perfect person to do our hair we LOVE her"). My hair was exactly what I was looking for, she sent me with bobby pins and a can of hairspray for emergencies, and I can't thank her enough for everything. You cannot go wrong, she is the best.

To be honest, I need much more then the 5 stars. Not only is Tara one of the most wonderful women I have ever met but she is such a talent. My wedding was 7/20/18 and I had 7 bridesmaids and three little flower girls. Tara kept us not only on time but gave every girl what they envisioned and stayed with us until the limo came! I can not say enough about how I was blown away and how beautiful everyone looked!! For me , there was only one person I trusted to make me feel beautiful on my wedding day, and that was Tara.

I wish I could give her 100 stars! Tara was more than amazing! She is accommodating, fun, caring and so incredibly helpful. Tara knows her stuff and even helped me find an amazing makeup artist. She went above and beyond for my wedding to make sure me and my girls were happy. My girls and I couldn't stop talking about how much fun Tara and Sabrina made the morning of my wedding and how wonderful of a job she did. I would recommend Tara to anyone on Long Island who needed a hair stylist. THANK YOU TARA, FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!!!

Everything what she did on my wedding day with hair was phenomenal!!! She came early in the morning, so positive and happy, did everyone so quick and perfect. She stayed untill we left to church. Pleased each one, from moms to little girl. My hair looked great and all day stayed the same perfect, danced all evening, nothing moved. I loved my hair the day of, so did the whole bridal party. I am extremely happy I was fortune to meet her and book her for my wedding. You are the best! Thank you million times!!!

There will never be enough words to explain our gratitude for Tara’s breathtaking work. Since the moment I scheduled my first trial Tara stayed by my side to make sure everything was done the exact way I dreamed of. The second I walked through the door for my first trial I knew she was the one! Her positive and uplifting spirit on top of her passion for what she does sold me before I could sit in the chair! If you know me, you know I am indecisive- I can not make a final decision. I always want everything PERFECT. Tara made my day PERFECT. I had (2) trials and went with a completely different style last minute and with no fear she CONQUERED exactly what I wanted!! I am usually the person that says can you fix this? But the second I looked in that mirror I suddenly became that princess bride I always dreamed I would be! Tara is the absolute BEST, you’ll be disappointed if you don’t hire her for your big day. We all dream of this day so why settle? Go with the best! Tara is the best!!!

I first met Tara at my best friend’s wedding last November and I fell in love with how she did my hair! I knew I had to book her for my own wedding this past March! I went in for my hair trial and we tried a few different looks that all looked amazing! Tara really has an eye for what hairstyles look good for your hair type and facial structure and I felt so beautiful on my wedding day! All of my bridesmaids loved their hairstyles and she even gave us all matching braids! Tara also stayed until we all left for the ceremony to make sure none of us needed any last minute touch ups! She also took so many great candid pictures and video that I got to have that day! Tara is simply the best! For any bride looking to book their hair stylist, look no further that Style-By-Tara! Thank you for making us all look beautiful, Tara!

I got married in November of 2017. Tara was one of the best vendors from my whole wedding. From the moment you meet with her, she makes you feel comfortable and like there are so many options you can choose from. I have curly hair and agonized about what I could do with my hair without looking like a totally different person. Also, not all hair stylists know how to handle curly hair. Tara not only made me feel beautiful, but my Mom and bridesmaids have complimented her to this day. She is flexible, professional and will have you laughing the whole time.

Tara is AMAZING!! Her and an assistant did 11 bridesmaids, MOB and bride in the perfect amount of time. She stayed with us till the very end to make sure we were perfect. It rained that day and our hair stayed flawless. The girls and I lOVED getting ready with her as she was so nice and fun. She was so accommodating as she did multiple trials for both my mother and I. LOVE LOVE LOVE the experience.

I do not have enough good words to describe how Tara made me feel on my Wedding day. She was part of my dream team that made me feel and look amazing. I felt like she was a friend that I had known for a long time, she laughed with us, took pictures of us and just made us feel really comfortable. From the moment I stepped in the bridal suite to the moment I got on my trolley this woman worked wonders. All of my bridesmaids could not stop talking about how impressed they were with their hair/ updos. She stayed with me through my getting ready photos, touched me up, moved my veil around and made sure I looked perfect before getting on the trolley. If you are considering Tara as your hairdresser for your wedding- look no further! She will not disappoint! She is the best!!!!!!!

Tara is unbelievably talented! I have been in many; many (8) bridal parties, and have worked with many, many stylists, and not one compares to Tara. Not only did she style my hair incredibly on my wedding day, but she did such a beautiful job on my Bridal party, as well as my very picky mother. I received an enormous amount of compliments on my hair from so many of my guests. In addition, I even had guests tell me how perfect my whole bridal party looked! Not only is she talented, but she’s an absolute sweetheart! I plan on using her for any future events I have. I am so lucky that I found her. She is simply the best stylist out there!

Tara was so amazing from the moment I started working with her for my wedding. First she is hysterical and had us cracking up the whole time. For my trial I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she gave me that exactly. She went through other suggestions in case the weather was bad since my hair tends to flop (but it turned out to be a BEAUTIFUL day) and my hair on my wedding day stayed the ENTIRE night. She was just such a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Aside from her obvious expertise in what she does, she was snapping pics the whole morning too, of those little moments that probably wouldn’t have been captured otherwise, AND managed to do 7 girls’ hair in a few hours and not one person was disappointed. We had compliments the whole night and I couldn’t have been happier! I would absolutely use her again and again and recommend her to anyone!

If you don't book Tara to do your bridal party hair you are crazy. She is the best of the best. She has such natural talent and she made me and my bridal party look amazing, every single person's hair was better than I could have imagined and she is FAST. She did 10 people in under 4 hours and finished on time I have no clue how she does it but she will make it work!! I am someone who was SUPER picky with wedding vendors and especially hair in particular but once I saw Tara's work I was no longer stressed and let her do whatever she thought would look good because I trusted her completely. So lucky to have found her. And she's also hilarious and made me feel so much more relaxed when wedding day stress set in- she is the type of person you want to have around. A piece of advice- book early!! She does one wedding a day and will book far in advance. Worth every penny and more. One of the best choices I made for my wedding day.

Tara did an amazing job on my hair for my wedding day. I also loved the way my bridesmaids, MOB and MOG's hair came out, everyone loved her. I am so happy to have found Tara from the knot. I met Tara for a trail and she was able to show me three different styles. I even went back to Tara before my wedding and she cut my hair. She came out to my parents house the morning of the wedding fully prepared. I would highly recommend Tara!

Tara was absolutely amazing! My hair came out gorgeous as did all of the other girls and she was so helpful. She stayed til the moment we left the house to make sure everyone was happy and to fix anything that may have gotten messed up taking pictures before church. She helped calm my crazy dog and make sure everything was locked up and set when leaving my house to calm my nerves. Tara was great all along-always responded to texts, was very professional, very friendly, etc. I wish I could have her do my hair every day!

Tara is a godsend and a breathe of fresh air. From the moment we met she had me at "hello". Literally! I love her energy- her fun yet calm and patient demeanor is just what I needed for my day! She was extremely patient yet excited to try various styles on me during my trials. If I said "I'm not sure" she would say "ok let's try other styles!" It was unbelievable. For the day of the wedding, all of my girls' hair lasted all night. I got so many compliments- even at the end of the night pple were saying how good my hair looked. My mom can be picky and anxious about how she looks and Tara was able to ease her concerns and give her exactly what she wanted! I appreciate all that Tara did for me and for bringing such a wonderful energy and positive spirit to the day! My girls kept on asking "where did you find her?" Bc they couldn't believe what a "homerun" she was! Thank you again!!

Tara was amazing! She did an incredible job on all of the ladies in my party who had their hair done. She made me feel relaxed and calm and helped me enjoy my wedding day! She had great suggestions for all who asked and used fabulous products! I would definitely use Tara again for any event I have in the future. I also had her cut and blow out my hair for my engagement photo shoot and had my trial around New Years Eve so my hair looks fabulous for both!

Tara is AMAZING!!!!!! From the moment Tara got to the hotel for my wedding it was non-stop fun and laughter. She is super gifted and talented. She was able to do my hair, 7 bridesmaids, two moms and a flower girl in four and a half hours. She was able to do literally any style the girls wanted on a variety of types of hair of different ethnicities. She was honest and super hard working. I feel so lucky that I was able to have her for my wedding. She didn't leave until the limo got there constantly fixing and touching up everyones hair until the minute we left for the church. My hair withstood rain and hours of dancing thanks to her. She even helped the photographer with tons of shots with me an the flower girl, which she didn't have to do. Tara truly loves her job and is so good at it. She goes above and beyond to make the brides day amazing. I highly recommend her.

Tara is the best hair stylist out there, you must book her for your wedding! My hair trial with Tara exceeded my expectations in every way. I loved all the different ideas she showed me. Not only is she very talented but she has an awesome personality! Tara made myself, my bridesmaids, my mom, & flower girls look gorgeous on my wedding day! She stayed with us until the limo arrived, making sure our hair was perfect the whole time. Everyone loved their hair and loved having her around!!! Even the small things she did like offer to help get the flowers from the hotel lobby and giving my friend medicine made me feel like she wasn't just a hair stylist doing her job, she was a friend. At the wedding, we got so many compliments on our hair. No bride should be without Tara on their wedding day.

Tara style me AND all my bridesmaids to perfection!!! Everyone looked amazing and I absolutely LOVED how my hair looked! She was quick, efficient and fun to have around during the excitement of getting ready! And, she stayed until we left for touch ups so we all were picture-perfect! I HIGHLY recommend Tara for any wedding, formal, color, cut or other hair services!!!

Tara did my hair and my bridesmaid’s hair for my wedding day and she did a fantastic job, amazing!  Tara is very professional and personable, and very communicative throughout the entire process from booking the trial up to the day of my wedding.  I highly recommend choosing Tara for your big day! Thank you, Sarah

Tara is an absolutely wonderful hair stylist. She did my hair, the bridal party's hair and my mom's hair for my wedding in October and I have nothing, but great things to say about her. She works fast and does beautiful work. She did the hair for 8 women and 1 flower girl. Every style had its own unique flair and totally matched everyones personality. Everyone was so happy with how their hair turned out and we got so many compliments. Not only are her styling skills amazing, but she has an equally amazing personality that helped me to stay calm and laughing all morning. I highly recommend Tara for your big day!

I had reached out to Tara several times trying to set up a trial but never got any response back- dont waste your time reaching out

I don't even know where to start - Tara is exceptional! I happened to stumble upon her page on The Knot and thank God I did!! From the moment I met Tara, I loved her. She is a seasoned wedding stylist and that comes through in her work. I had no idea what I wanted so during my trial she did a few different looks for me to choose from. She also advised on how you might do your hair depending on the weather, something that hadn't even crossed my mind! To say she went above and beyond would be such an understatement. When it came to the day of, she was just amazing. All of my bridal party's hair looked stunning especially my own and the curls stayed in ALL DAY even through a ton a dancing. I loved Tara so much that now I go to her for all of my hair styling needs. I would highly recommend her!

I found Tara on Wedding Wire, and I am so glad I did! Not only is she the BEST hair stylist, but she's an amazing person! We clicked when I met her for the first time at my trial. I continued to see her throughout the year for coloring and cuts. All I wanted on my wedding day was to be pampered at home. Tara came with everything and more than I could have imagined. Everyone loved her! My hair and all of my girls came out perfect, and stayed put for the entire night. She understood the exact look everyone was going for, and made it come to life better than any pictures we showed her! I can't say enough about how wonderful she is, and how easy she made everything. She was punctual, extremely helpful, and stayed with us until we got on the bus to leave for church. I'll recommend her to everyone, and look forward to future events where I can use her!

Those who know me know that I was in no way a "Bridezilla". However, I could not find anybody to do my hair the way I wanted it. I had five different hair trials (which go for $75-$100 a pop!) and I left crying after every single one. My sister's hairdresser recommended Tara and said she is the BEST. She trains hairdressers in all different studios on Bridal Hair and has made Bridal her full time job for the most part. I met her, loved her and of course she created two beautiful hair styles on me. I couldn't decide! Instead of crying, I was beaming! The day of the wedding was the same. She made my bridesmaids and I look like celebrities. My husband always says how gorgeous we all looked. She really saved the day. You need to have her!

I was so happy that I chose Tara to do the hair for myself and my bridal party for my wedding. She was so great to work with during the trial, allowing me to see a few different options based on the pictures that I brought her until we found one that I loved. The day of the wedding, she arrived early with a smile and great energy. She worked really well with everyone in my party, making any minor adjustments they wanted and working off the pictures they brought. She made sure to stay until we left the hotel, making touch ups until the last minute and took some great getting ready photos for us before the photographers arrived! She was super prepared and helpful, even having a command hook ready to help hang up my dress! Although the weather (wind and humidity) were not on our side, everyone's hair still looked beautiful by the end of the night. Would highly recommend Tara to any future brides!
