Erica Nasby:
"Tara is amazing! And really good at color, the best I have experienced! I have been a long time client, and I really respect Tara's ability to always get what I want bang on. She knows the science behind hair, and she is what I would call meticulous when it comes to her work. She is creative, stylish and always current, and that is important to me - as I also want to appear fresh and current, not trendy. Tara is also very respectful of her relationships - she is like a vault, like any good therapist, I mean stylist - you can talk to her about real life situations and it is never gossipy or fake and she has a ton of integrity and a straight shooter. On so many levels I recommend Tara"
Rhonda Roberts:
"I have been a client of Tara’s, here in North Vancouver, for over twenty years. I am so envious that you will now have the privilege of having your hair needs done by Tara in your part of the province.
You can imagine just how many cuts, colours, highlights, and styling I have had done by Tara and I can honestly say I was never disappointed with her quality of service, nor in her genuine gracious respectful manner as we spent those many visits conversing. No matter how busy Tara was in her salon, I never felt rushed or received a less than quality service! Oh and those absolutely fantastic head massages she provided as she washed my hair!
If you know Tina Turner’s hit, Simply the Best, Better than all the rest, well then you have arrived for many years of great up to date hair styling and needs."
Nina Ramscar:
"Tara was my stylist in North Vancouver for around 2 years, in that time she helped me go from long hair, to no hair and then growing it back through the BEST pixie cuts ever. Tara is not only an extremely talented Colourist and Stylist but an all round beautiful human and it is a joy to spend time in her chair. I can't wait to be able to visit the Salon at Sandbluff Ranch. "
Jeanette O'brian:
"North Vancouver’s loss is certainly Penticton’s gain!!!
Tara was my hairstylist for more than a decade and very quickly became a wonderful friend. While I knew I would dearly miss her friendship when she moved to Penticton, I had no idea how much I would miss her magic with my hair. I also had no idea just how complacent I had become having someone I trusted do what she did so well. She was always eager to try something fresh and new and she would think about my hair in advance of my arrival if she saw a picture or had a new idea for me...and most importantly, my hair is the healthiest it has ever been in my life.
I highly recommend that you give Tara a try. I know she will not disappoint. I can’t wait for my next trip to the Okanagan where I will be able to sip and snip with Tara once again."
Alan Wilson:
"Tara is not only an excellent HAIR STYLIST, she is a QUALITY PERSON who I miss tremendously, Her smile and personality will brighten your day, besides getting a GREAT haircut,
So I encourage everyone to drop by for a special experience !!"
Sue Garries:
"There are hairstylists and then there is Tara.
She is a wonderful human being with talent to match.
Tara was my hair stylist for several years so when she left to move to Penticton I was devastated! She always gave me the best haircut and colour. I was never disappointed.
Keep up the great work Tara. 5 STARS **** Penticton is lucky to have you."
Jennifer Young:
"My husband and I have been going to Tara for our hair needs for at least 25 years! Needless to say we were very happy with her expertise but also just felt so comfortable with her easy way. It was always a pleasant experience. So we were close to devastated when she moved from the North Shore to Penticton. I am still trying to figure out how I can combine a trip and a haircut and it looks like now I can. Just not every 8 weeks!
All the best with your new studio Tara. I am sure you will build up a sizeable clientele when people discover you."
Lisa deBourcier:
"Tara has done my hair for nearly 20 years! Always very attentive to my range of styles that I have had in the past and there has been quite a few! Her colour expertise is just phenomenal. She has done beautiful tones on my hair with creating lots of contrast with multiple shades. There has been countless times that I have had people stop me and ask who does your hair? I would recommend her 100%"
Sharon McSweeny:
"Tara is amazing and all of her clients miss her so much! I am now a Senior, but when I first had the pleasure of being recommended to her (when I was much younger!), by an elite stylist in a chic shop in downtown Vancouver, I was thrilled. Tara performed amazing work on my straight, thin hair, and it was like a revelation. I don't spend alot of $ on myself, but this was something I never hesitated to indulge, after viewing her magic performance! Tara is dear to all her clients - You are so fortunate to have her magic in Penticton! "
Michiko Kariya:
"Tara was my hairstylist and colourist for almost two decades. She is extremely knowledgeable and hairstyling is both a calling and passion for her. Her technical knowledge is second to none. I appreciate how she takes the time to understand your lifestyle and listens to your desires and melds those two things in giving feedback. I miss her greatly but am happy for her and her family to be in their beautiful forever home."
Kathy Sear:
Before Tara relocated to Penticton, I was her client for 17 years. She was the first stylist to highlight & style my hair after it grew out from chemo and I have trusted her expertise ever since. She is professional, personable & a true perfectionist. She consistently did an amazing job with my colour & I could always count on walking out the door with a feeling of satisfaction & the urge to go out & show off my new ‘do’! I wish Tara all the best & would highly recommend her to anyone looking to get the best hair experience possible
Anna Foschi:
"Tara has been my stylist for over 15 years. Her guidance in choosing an appropriate cut and color was instrumental. I always felt confident to project a polished image when leaving her hair salon. I wish Tara a great success in her new enterprise: Vancouver’s loss is Penticton’s gain!"
Maria Power:
"As a regular customer for over ten years, I was always very satisfied with all services received from Tara and Mira Studios in North Vancouver. As I had children and went through style changes and different hair colour, Tara looked after me!"
Jodi Roe:
"I have been a client of Tara’s for about 10 years. She does a great job on colour that lasts and offers ideas for extending your highlights. Her cuts are great. She will be missed. Tara is also a really nice person and fun to talk to."
