Hi, thanks for being here! Here's a little background behind the stylist — I have always been passionate about hairstyling since I was a young girl. I was a cheerleader for 7 years, and during that time, I would always be the person doing my friends’ hair for cheer competitions and football games. A few years later, I decided to surprise everyone and pursue an accounting degree at California State University, Northridge. I proceeded to become a tax accountant for 4 years but decided to leave the accounting field because I felt unfulfilled by not being in a more people-centered role. I ended up changing careers and becoming a Campus Recruiter, and I actually changed careers again to pursue a role in the HR field, which I currently do full-time. Through all of these changes, I have learned one thing — my passion for hairstyling and making people feel special could never be suppressed. In September 2021, I decided to start pursuing my passion for hairstyling and launched Braided by Tarah as an official side hustle. If you decide to book with me, I genuinely want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting my dream and trusting me with your pretty hair. I truly look forward to meeting and working with you!
