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 wo...
rk 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 AMAZING to work with! I was referred to Tara by a friend and it felt like I was working with a friend the day of! I did my trial with Tara and she was also kind enough to let my mom and future MIL do a trial as well. The trial was amaz...
ing, she was able to show me 3 different styles in an hour and also some of the accessories well in advance of my date. Some people have two trials to get an idea of what they want but with Tara, she had so many ideas/experience that she was able to show me a few ideas in our one appointment! It felt great moving forward with the wedding planning knowing I was in good hands with her! Tara also was really communicative leading up to the wedding. I had forgotten to get the clip that went with my dress and she lent me hers. The hair on the day of the wedding came out exceptional. I had 13 girls get their hair done and EVERYONE was beyond happy. The hair looked beautiful and I loved mine! Tara does beautiful work and I received many compliments, I was beyond thrilled with my hair and choosing Tara to work with. I also want to note that Tara stayed until I was in my dress and put my veil in, did touch ups and ensured I felt good. She didn't rush out and was genuinely interested in my happiness! The day of the wedding is definitely stressful but I had a blast with Tara, she kept me calm as well as my mom and kept the mood light. It felt like I was working with a friend, which is what you need the day of! I would highly recommend Tara and her services and definitely will be using her again in the future for other events! She is A++!
Tara was by far the best choice for styling my hair. Not only did she make me and my girls beautiful- she made the whole experience fun! We did a trial together and she showed me so many different ways I could style my hair and then blew me awa...
y with finding the one that made me feel like a bride! The morning of getting ready she was so efficient and put everyone at ease. All of my 8 bridesmaids came in with a picture and Tara styled better than they had planned. She is also funny and has a good energy! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
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 arti...
st 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 thro...
ugh 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 incredibl...
e 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 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 nee...
ded 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 bri...
dal 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 ta...
lented 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 responsiv...
e 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 deliv...
ered. 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 wit...
h 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 re...
spond 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 t...
o 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 wante...
d 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 sh...
e 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 wa...
nt. 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 T...
ara 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 i...
n 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 fo...
r 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 h...
air 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 lOVE...
D 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 pict...
ures 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 o...
n 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 ot...
her 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 s...
he 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 thre...
e 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 p...
ictures 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 vario...
us 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 produc...
ts! 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 w...
as 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 per...
sonality! 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 t...
ouch ups so we all were picture-perfect! I HIGHLY recommend Tara for any wedding, formal, color, cut or other hair services!!!

g. 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
Response from the Vendor on 03/11/2017
My apologies Samantha...I never received one inquiry from you. Best wishes.
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 n...
o 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 on...
e 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!
I truly can't speak highly enough of Tara - both her talent and her personality! When I first met Tara, I was instantly impressed by her incredible abilities and how quickly she "got" what I was looking for - especially considering I really did...
n't know what I was looking for! I had met with three other stylists before finding her, and none of them seemed to be able to work with my baby fine hair and complete lack of direction. Tara was patient, confident, incredibly skilled, and ridiculously hilarious. I never felt rushed, uncomfortable, or like I was a pain in the butt. On my wedding day Tara single handedly styled myself and NINE other women. She kept us laughing the entire time, and every single girl was beyond thrilled with their hair. Not only was Tara the best hairstylist I have ever worked with - and I am basically Katherine Heigl in 27 dresses - but she truly and genuinely cares about every bride she handles. She made me feel beautiful and relaxed on my wedding day, and I can't thank her enough for that.
Tara was amazing!! From the start she made me feel at ease even with so much going on. She was extremely responsive and flexible with everything. I was stressed about how I was going to do my hair the day of the wedding and I was so so so happy...
with how it came out! Even my husband on our honeymoon said out of no where how he liked my hair :) All of my bridesmaids hair came out great as well. Highly recommend Tara if we you are looking for a professional, responsive, caring, and trustworthy hair stylist...she is great at her job and does excellent work!
Where do I begin!?! Tara was my life saver from the day I met her for my first hair trial! If there were 2 things I was nervous about for my wedding day it was how my hair and makeup were going to come out. I would categorize myself as a bit pi...
cky when it comes to this probably because I like to do my own hair and makeup so giving someone else control of this was scary for me. As soon as I walked into the salon and met Tara I had this feeling of relief. Her personality and how much she loves what she does shines. She is extremely knowledgeable and has years of experience. I loved her so much I started going to her to cut and dye my hair months before the wedding. It was almost an hour drive for me, but totally worth. I have dark brown hair (which doesn't show as much dimension in pictures with an updo. Tara suggested some highlights. Again I was hesitant. I usually don't like highlights because of the maintenance. But I trusted her and she put just enough to show in my updo but not too many that it was hard to maintain. I could literally go on and on about how wonderful she is. She helped make the morning of my wedding FUN, stress free and we shared lots of laughs! You will not go wrong booking Tara I promise!!
I really cannot rave enough about Tara! She did a phenomenal job on my hair and bridal party. I've been in several weddings and she is definitely the best stylist I've worked with. From professionalism to creativity to speed, you really will no...
t be disappointed!
She did a great job helping pull my look together, and all my girls looked great! Also, very reasonable prices!
I cannot say enough about Tara. I had two trials with her before my wedding and she was able to take picture I had and make it into a masterpiece! She was super calm and friendly to my whole bridal party the day of the wedding. I was so impress...
ed with how everyone's hair turned out. I got so many complements all night and people asking me for her number. So glad I picked Tara!
Tara is amazing! She did an amazing job on my hair as well as my bridesmaids hair. She also made sure I was relaxed and happy which is more than I could have asked for on my wedding day! Thank you Tara!
Tara was my hair stylist for my August, 2014 wedding. She also styled my mother, friend of the family, and 5 of my bridesmaid's hair. She was absolutely AMAZING! Tara is incredibly talented and creative. She successfully created each and everyo...
ne of our visions (all 8 of us). I can honestly say that each of us were extremely happy with our hair! Not only is Tara great at styling hair but she is extremely personable and professional. She arrived on time and checked in with me several times leading up to my wedding. Tara made me feel at ease and excited with emails and sweet texts. In addition, she stayed at my house touching up everyone's hair right until we had to jump in the limos. I highly recommend Tara!!! If you are looking for a talented, creative hairstylist who makes you look and feel beautiful, use Tara!!!
I really don’t think I could have dreamt that my hair would look as amazing as it did on my wedding day. In addition to my up-do, Tara did all of my bridesmaids and maid of honor, which accounted for six other people. She got to the Fox Hollo...
w early and didn’t leave until we were all in our dresses and she had perfected our styles. She helped place my veil and made me look gorgeous. In addition to this, she was super nice and friendly. I received compliments from so many guests specifically about my hair. They just couldn’t believe how fantastic the curls looked with the hair embellishment and the sweeping side style. I wish I could wear my hair like that every day!!! Tara is a true professional at what she does – she understands the timing of wedding days, how to make everyone comfortable, what looks good on a person, how to suggest hairstyles and best of all, she makes absolutely stunning hair styles. Thank you Tara for making my wedding day hair completely perfect!!!!!!!!!!!
Working with Tara was an absolute wonderful experience! She was professional, and did an amazing job with everyone's hair. She has an awesome personality, and was a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend her for any event.
Tara was amazing from start to finish! She encompasses everything a bride is looking for in her wedding day hair stylist: responsive, professional, talented, creative and such a warm personality. I wish I could post a picture on here for you al...
l to view. I will definitely be using Tara in the future for all my special event hair needs, and recommending her to my friends and family.
Tara is amazing! She made the entire experience from the trial to the actual day of preparations absolutely stress-free. Not only did she make my hair look better than I ever could have imagined, she did an excellent job with my Mom and my many...
bridesmaids (the 7 who decided to have their hair done for the wedding!). Further, there was a last minute addition who also was able to get her hair done at a moment's notice in time for the cars to take off for the church. I cannot recommend her enough for her talent, flexibility, personality, character, and professionalism through the whole process -- not to mention the value!
Tara is amazing!From my trial to the wedding day, Tara did an absolutely perfect job on my hair and all my bridesmaids. Everyone loved our hair. I knew exactly what I wanted for my wedding day hair and Tara was able to bring my vision to life! ...
My wedding hair stayed perfect all night. She stayed with us to the last possible moment and made me feel so comfortable and happy. Tara is extremely talented and professional. Highly recommend!
Tara wowed myself as well as my bridesmaids and my mother. I knew when I met her for our trial run that she was the hair stylist for me on the biggest day of my life. She kept me relaxed and comfortable. My bridesmaids and my mom were not in...
troduced to her until the day of and all of them were so happy with the end result. She was just like one of the girls. She even helped button me into my dress. A terrific personality, flexible and a true talent! I would recommend her to brides-to- be out there. I found her on my own since I recently moved out to the area. I did my research and my research brought me to her. So happy!
Tara is the perfect person to do anyone's hair for their wedding! After seeing the amazing work she did with my sister's and her bridesmaids' hair on her wedding day this past summer, I knew I could rest assured knowing that my hair, as well as...
my bridesmaids' hair, would be nothing short of fantastic as well. Tara really listened to my bridesmaids as they described the styles that they wanted and put a creative twist on each and every one. She also happily worked with me on more than one occasion to help me figure out what kind of style would be best since I am so indecisive and there are so many options out there! Additionally, she created clips out of flowers that I bought to have in each of my bridesmaids' hair. Her clips turned out to be aboslutely beautiful and a big money saver! In the end my hairstyle gave me just the right amount of texture and elegance to work perfectly with the look I was aiming for. I would not have changed a thing about it! Throughout the morning of preparations for the wedding ceremony, Tara didn't leave right after our hair was finished, but she wanted to stay the whole time after everyone's hair was done in case any last minute adjustments had to be made as pictures were being snapped. Tara really truly cares about her work as a hair stylist and it shows through her personality and hair designs. My grandmother used to say that "A person's hair is the crown of their face" and Tara's work definitely lives up to that saying. Overall, Tara is someone that I would recommend to anybody anytime when planning their own big day!
Tara did my and my bridesmaids hair for my wedding on November 3,2012 and I cannot say enough great things about her. During my trial she happily and enthusiastically worked with my up-do until I was completely satisfied with the final result....
When the big day came Tara did my bridesmaids hair to perfection, and of course my hair was absolutely flawless. I received so many compliments on it! I was extremely worried about my hair staying in all day and night as it was a side bun and I am a pretty rowdy dancer! My worries were totally unwarranted because I did not lose one bobby pin!!! Tara even sent me the link to her Pinterest page where a few of my bridesmaids actually found hairstyles they wanted to do!! I know how daunting it is trying to find a wedding hairstylist and trials are expensive, so you really need to look no further! Tara is great and even her prices are reasonable! I am so grateful to have had tara there on my wedding day...she was a pleasure to work with from day one! Xo
I cannot recommend Tara enough! She is SO talented and can deal with any kind of hair. She made me feel so confident that I was going to look beautiful that day, and she did! But more importantly, she did an amazing job with my bridesmaids!!! E...
very single hair style of had creativity, personality, and a unique touch. Every girl was SO happy with how they turned out. I have a couple girls that had thick unruly hair or very thin hair - and both of them got gorgeous hairstyles that they LOVED! Tara works magic, and she does it with ease. She was also incredibly responsive to all of my emails and calls, which I really appreciated!! I absolutely 100% recommend her to ANYONE!
Tara is a talented, professional and happy hairstylist. After a couple of other trials not going well, I was a week away from my wedding with very little hope when I walked into her salon.
The second I met this bubbly, energetic person, I...
knew she would get the job done. I showed her the photo for inspiration and she nailed it on the first try. Then she did a couple other options and I loved those too. I felt a huge weight lifted off my shoulders and I was excited for her to be there on my wedding day.
Tara kept in contact with me throughout the week and when the day arrived she was there a little early and ready to roll. She also did my 4 bridesmaid's hair and when my future mother-in-law came back from her hair appointment almost in tears, Tara was there to save the day.
Tara gets hair, she gets style, she gets her clients and she gets weddings. I would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone.
I knew that Tara was going to my hair for my wedding day because she's my regular stylist. I trust her with my hair and that's a big deal for me! We had spoken about some styles as the date got closer but I just felt totally at ease and knew t...
hat she would nail it no matter what, it wasn't a part of the wedding that stressed me out because I had Tara. A few weeks before we did one trial, I showed her a picture of an idea I had and she customized it and nailed it, I loved it! On the day of Tara came with Liz her assistant for the day, who I had heard great things about. We had 9 girls including me that needed hair and everyone, EVERYONE looked absolutely beautiful. Tara is truly a master at what she does. She nailed my hair and then we changed it a little with the headband for my reception, my day would not have been as perfect as it was without her!!! Oh and PS, there were tornadoes on my wedding day and the wind was insane and my hair stayed put :) Thank you Tara!!!!! xo
Me hair was amazing! I did a trial with Tara and that could not even compare to my wedding day.my hair was exactly what I asked for and more. I bought my headpiece to her the day of and she whipped up exactly what I asked for including my headp...
ieces and her own personal touches. I would recommend 100%. I trusted her so much after my trial that I even went to get cut and colored before the wedding. An amazing stylist with an amazing personality.i will continue to go for hair maintenance and will recommend all my friends,
I met with Tara weeks before my wedding for a trial, and she is down to earth and loves her profession. I brought pictures of my dress, veil and styles I liked to give her an idea of the look I wanted. She made me look beautiful on my wedding d...
ay. She got to the venue before I did and was set up in the bridal suite. She did my hair, as well as my mom and a junior bridesmaid. My hair held up for everything... outdoor ceremony and dancing at the reception.Her prices were less than what other hairdressers charge. Give her a call, you wont't be disappointed. Thank you Tara!!!!
Tara did such an amazing job in every way for my sister's wedding on 8-5-12. Her positive and professional attitude made everyone feel extremely comfortable when starting the very important day. Her looks she achieved for each of us was spot on...
with her elegant and up to date style. Tara understands how essential the role of the hairstylist is in a wedding which was made evident as she never rushed with any of us and touched up each girl about 3-4 times paying high attention to detail. The styles lasted the entire day and even the day after! She has incredible talent in every way; her personality, presentation, and styling skills should be qualities obtained by every wedding hair stylist. She was such a pleasure to work with and we are looking forward to working with her again for all of our future events!
Here is my story... I live in another state and had to book a hair stylist through emails / phone based on what I thought about their work, how they communicate and price. Tara was the only one out of many that I looked into that not only made...
me feel so comfortable but communicated very quickly and honest with me. During a very stressful week with going back and forth with my caterer, I received a response from her that just made me laugh so hard that it took away my stresses... I automatically loved her!! Then I flew to NY for my trial and she was so accomodating and I showed her a few pictures of what I liked and she worked her magic. It was so perfect! I was so excited for the wedding day. She stayed communicating with me with any questions I had, anytime. On the wedding day she came and brang it again! My hair is a frizzy mess and I warned her but it was no match for Tara! She took it and made it into such a beautiful style (my now husband wont stop talking about it till this day asking if I can do something like that). The style lasted ALL day and was absolutely georgous. She is someone you want to book. She was funny, put you at ease, provides ideas but will do what you want and is just a great person. You should look no further! Tara is who you need to be by your side for a beautiful hairstyle.
Tara is amazing at what she does, she executed my vision for my wedding hair and I absolutely loved it! Not only is she an awesome hair stylist who will work with you until you have EXACTLY what you want, she is an awesome person to have around...
on your wedding day. I recommend Tara 100%!!!
I loved working with Tara! During our trial, we tried multiple hair styles until we found the one that worked for me with my dress. She was so patient and took lots of pictures. She had good ideas and was able to understand my vision. She wa...
sn't the least bit pushy or intimidating as I sometimes find with other hairdressers, who think they know best. On the day of, she arrived an hour early and was fun to work with throughout the day. I definitely recommend her.
