My 6 year old boy/girl twins have been going to Tara for at least 3+ years & look forward to getting their hair cut! For the first couple years we went to another popular franchised "kids" place (similar to this place where kids sit in a race car chair & watch a kiddie video) but with disasterous results. And it was twice as expensive. The kind you look back on and wince at photos because the hairdresser looks like they used a large bowl to cut their hair. Not Tara! She always asks just before she is done how mom likes it (I usually ask for a little more taken off with my sons pointy back nape) and, I get compliments about their haircuts too. When Tara has time she usually puts sparkle hairspray or a few cute braids or mini ponietails in the front bang area. Bonus! And all for a very cheap price. Did I mention the free lollipop at the end? What more could you ask for in a kids hair place! Oh and she cut my hair once when I was in a pinch. :) :)
