Taryn has loved her career at SMS because it matches her personable, friendly style. She came to us straight out of Capitol School of Hairstyling & Esthetics where she was at the top of her class.

She has since grown to a Level 2 stylist specializing in the art of blonde balayage hair painting. She draws her inspiration from the salon’s education-based approach that brings world-class artists in to train on new techniques through a hands-on instruction. Her confidence with clients comes through as she recreates looks that clients request or creating her own styles based on a client’s skin tone, lifestyle, and facial structure. Taryn is excited to be splitting her time between both SMS locations bringing her hair artistry and skincare skills in Hydrafacials to a brand new clientele.
