I came to Tara and Naja a few years back when my hair was severely damaged. Changing hairstylists was so traumatic for me i could hardly sleep the night before.

I used to think it was hopeless and would never grow, but now is so healthy.

I have been a client of Tara and Naja since January 2017, and it's a relationship that I have come to trust and respect because of the genuine care they have about me and the health of my hair. Tara and Naja's focus is the health of natural hair, and due to an autoimmune condition and medication that I have to take, in recent years, my hair has become more delicate with some hair loss. But with routine trimmings and tinting to manage grey hairs, my hair is in great condition. Tara specifically knows how to take care of my hair and makes recommendations of products to use. Although I now live a two hour drive from her salon, I am committed to continue to use Tara and Naja because after nearly a decade, I don't trust anyone else with my hair care. I am invested in them. read more

I especially love the way they style my hair, and I'm always pleased when people compliment me on how good it looks. Tara and Naja take the time to care for my hair and make sure I leave looking and feeling my best. I'm so happy I found them and truly appreciate the difference they have made in both the health and appearance of my hair. read more

I cannot recommend Tara and Naja enough! Before the appointment I had a phone call with Tara and we discussed my hair journey so far; then I made an appointment and I was sent a price list and instructions on parking, payment, cancellations, etc. At my appointment, I was warmly welcomed and treated like an old friend from the moment I set foot in the salon. They really listened to my concerns and my goals for my hair and gave really good advice on steps to address problem areas and steps to take to get to my hair goals. They've created a safe and nonjudgemental space where I felt like my best interests were held closest to heart. I love my hair! And they followed up the next day to make sure I was still happy with my hair and to offer to answer any questions. Can't wait for my next visit! read more

I am so very pleased with the service that I received this past Saturday. I was in town for a bday weekend and wanted my hair blown out and ends trimmed. I don't have a specific hair stylist in the Bay, so I thought it would be dope to pamper myself in true LA Hot Girl fashion. I was greeted, washed/conditioned by Naja, who is very sweet and professional, not to mention extremely gentle when shampooing my hair. It was so soothing and relaxing. ASMR anyone? Sadly, like many others, I've grown accustomed to hairdressers whacking my head around the sink, painfully drilling their nails & nubs in my temples or scratching the skin clean off of my scalp. Tara then trimmed, blow-dried and styled my hair. My hair looked so healthy and soft that I immediately received compliments upon leaving Salon Republic. Other notes: -Located inside of Salon Republic on Wilshire -Zelle or cash only -Time efficient (my appointment was @10am & I arrived early for our 12:30pm brunch reservation) -No children or extra people -My 4th day blowout is still silky and gone with the wind fabulous! read more

Tara and Naja completely transformed my hair. I came to Tara with very damaged and weak hair from previous hair stylist. They have been doing my hair for the past 2 years and my hair has never been better. I get a chemical relaxer with hair trim every 6 weeks. My hair is very soft, flowy, healthy and shinny. Highly recommend! They are extremely knowledgeable with relaxers and natural hair styles and use great products. read more

OMG, what can I say but that the services are off the chain in so many way!!! Naja throws down with treatments that are second to none; and, when I'm ready to show-up and turn heads, all I need is to book with Tara for a blow, curl and style!!! read more

I've just returned from my first appointment with Tara and Naja and - oh, my sweet heavens! - my hair and I are NEW! I had not cut my hair in over two years, so the split ends and their bosom buddies, dryness and thinning, were having a field day. Naja worked a three-part deep conditioning (pre-shampoo, after shampoo and post-cut) that has my hair feeling moisturized and looking brilliant. Tara took one look at my hair and suggested a style that I'd envisioned for myself, then set about cutting gently, precisely. The service is top notch, and the inclusive, respectful atmosphere created by these upbeat professionals and their genial clientele seals the deal. I look fabulous and feel valued. Going to book my next appointment now. read more

Tara & Naja are exceptional and professional to every client they attend to. They provide personalized service, wonderful hair conditioning treatments, color & cut to your preference and they make you feel like you are the only one in their salon. I actually fly into town for my hair appointments - as it's worth it! Cerisse Ward read more

I have virgin African textured hair, so if your hair is like mine, this may not be the right shop for you. I made an appointment with the senior stylist, Tara, for a silk press. Upon my arrival, the daughter, Naja, did a great job washing my hair but is clearly inexperienced with blow drying and flat ironing my hair type. The blow dry was extremely painful and I felt some strands of my hair being ripped out of my scalp when she was flat ironing it. Both women were made aware that I was in pain, so Tara blow dried my hair again. She completed the flat iron and did a satisfactory job; however, I was disappointed due to the negative comments and insults I received from both because they were inexperienced and frustrated in how to blow dry my hair type. After the abusive way I was treated, I will not be returning to this place of business. I believe that full respect, professionalism, decency, transparency and honesty are crucial for a relationship to work between beauticians and clients. read more

Tara & Naja Salon Is A Dream!! Tara is an Angel & she was very professional, fast & a good SOUL. She even played my new single "People Are People" in her phenomenal sound system! I'm beyond grateful that our paths have crossed in this lifetime. I highly recommend Tara & Naja if U want the best hair salon experience on the planet ;D read more

Tara Love was a consummate professional. I was long overdue for a haircut and deep conditioning and she took care of me. She shampooed, conditioned, blow dried and flat ironed my hair, on top of giving me a precision hair cut. My hair hasn't felt so good or looked so healthy in a long time. I LOVE my hair, and I haven't felt that way in so long. She was friendly, warm, and knows her stuff. She was fair and upfront about her pricing menu. I also texted her to make an appointment and we settled everything quickly over text, which I appreciated -- she is very responsive! Will definitely be going back to Ms. Tara Love! read more

I have been going to Tara Love for over a year for conditioning, cuts, style, blowouts- all of it. Everything this woman touches when it comes to hair- turns to gold. I have never loved a hair professional the way I love her. I have wildly curly hair that she cuts like no other, and I have never loved wearing it natural before I met her. When it is blown out and styled by her, it is not only soft and shiny, but DAMN those curls she gives me are next level and they stay like that until I wash it. She has also conditioned it and brought it back to life so that curly or straight it looks HEALTHY and great! You will never regret going to see her. Tara, you are amazing and thank you always for making me feel beautiful !!! read more

Tara and Naja - Blown out and curled - Blow Dry/Out Services Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

See all

I have no prior relationship with these ladies at all, and booked through Yelp. SERVICE: These ladies know what they are doing, and I appreciate the high quality of treatment, maintenance and styling. It's been almost a year since anybody touched my hair- I wear a natural Afro so my hair is virgin - type 4a/4b. That said, I had lots of split ends, and combing my hair felt like chopping through a forest. Plus extreme heat is a no-go. I was a little hesitant going in; I've had a couple of bad experiences, as I'm sure many others have. Tara was willing to review the amount of heat involved and what she had my permission to trim. Some stylists get an attitude if you have questions, but it's my head, my hair, my money. I'm glad she checked in with me to confirm what was going on. Especially since this is a brand new relationship and we don't know each other. They are professional and polite. They offer free snacks and drinks that include mimosa, coffee, tea. Fab! Amenities and fixtures were clean. PRICING: Tara doesn't come cheap- price for shampoo, moisturizing and protein treatment, plus excellent trim, blowout, flat ironing - $210. They give you a price list before she starts everything, but those add-ons do add up. Needless to say, there was a bit of sticker shock. I decided on 5 stars for the level of quality. That is rare in our community. I am willing to pay for someone who truly knows what they're doing and won't screw up my strands. That said, Tara is an expert. When she was done, my hair fell perfectly. Indeed, it needed the attention. BOOKING: I messaged Tara through Yelp, and she contacted me that day; there was a 10-14 day wait for the appointment. She messaged me back and asked me to text her for a date. I'm not a fan of giving out my personal number- too many vendors abuse it- but, ok. CAVEAT 2: She doesn't stay open late. So if you're used to stylists who seat you late or see you after work, you'll have to work around it. PARKING: They validate, but I still paid $4. It's underground, and there are attendants who make it more confusing than it should be. She invited me to come back and get more treatments, but when I asked, I didn't hear any specifics of what additional treatments I could use. I haven't decided what I will do with my hair going forward, and it's doubtful I'd pay $200 regularly, but for the many women who do, Tara is your lady. Pics to come. UPDATE IN RESPONSE TO OWNER'S KIND MESSAGE: Yes, overall, because of your superb quality, I do believe the pros outweighed the cons! read more

So I've been in Los Angeles for over 4 years and have had a few stylists but I was looking for someone new. I found Tara Love Hair in Yelp and decided to try the salon. I love Ms. Tara and I love her salon! She cut my hair perfect and her salon is cute and clean. Well my mom came to town in June and I scheduled her an appointment too. My mom has long gray hair but doesn't take care of it. It's constantly in a bun or pulled back. It was breaking and just made her look old. Well Ms. Tara gave her a cut and now she's wearing her hair natural. It is TOO cute! My mom has been getting compliments for over a month and she is tickled to tell people she got her hair cut in LA (she lives in FL). Do yourself and your hair favor and schedule an appointment with Tara Love Hair. read more

Tara Love is an absolute sweetheart. Her studio is clean, comfortable, and modern. Her professionalism came across in all of our interactions. I sent Tara a message to request an appointment while heading out the door and I received a response before I got to work. I appreciated that she gave me a services card BEFORE she started so I knew how much everything cost. Like I said professional... As others have mentioned, she not only does an excellent job but really cares about the overall health of your hair. Tara gave me tips on how to better care for my hair between visits. She's been in the business for years which comes across in her speed and great work. The haircut she gave me was amazing and made my hair more manageable between appointments.

After spending years not coming to salons because of a few terrible experiences I decided enough was enough and I needed to find a salon that could care for my hair properly. I gave her salon a chance because of her rave reviews and she did NOT disappoint! Mind you I came in for a texturizer after being natural for years and not properly taking care of my hair. Naturally a lot my hair had to go but when I tell you Tara and Naja are so supportive and knowledgable about hair I knew I was in good hands even after having to cut off so much because of the years I spent not properly taking care of it. Tara showed me what needed to go (it was obvious why lol) and they both gave me some great product recommendations that have worked to keep my hair moisturized and manageable. Tara is very thorough and won't cut your hair without a discussion and agreement. She truly doesn't play about customer satisfaction and looking out for you to have the healthiest hair possible. I'm so grateful I found this salon! Even when I didn't like that I had to cut so much of my hair that didn't stop people from complimenting the WONDERFUL job Tara did with my hair! You ladies are so amazing and worth every penny! Thank you for providing such quality service and looking forward to my next appointment :) read more

Tara did such a beautiful job styling my niece's hair. After a deep condition and precision trim, her hair was bouncing and behaving. She loved it!! And, after a second round of Tara's deep conditioning, my hair feels softer and silkier than ever! Love, Love, Love Tara Love!! Thanks so much, Tara, for working us in on your day off! You are truly the best!! read more

First day I met Tara I told her that my hair doesn't like to be chemically straighten . Guess what she did ? She chemically straighten my hair without my approval! When I confronted her about it, she lied . My hair started drying out and breaking off so I decided to see my dermatologist.My doctor discovered that my hair was chemically treated ! I just wish she would have been honest and saved me time and money ! Update : After a year of getting my hair done with my new stylist , my hair is finally healthy again and growing like weeds . I honestly think that she is great for people who like getting their hair permed or chemically treated . However, if you want to keep your curl pattern check out another salon . read more

Tara and Naja - After giving her a review she claimed that she has never met me . This is before she change the response . - Blow Dry/Out Services Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

I have been to Tara's three times now and I am so glad I found her. Having curly hair was definitely a struggle for me since it took me around 15 years to figure out how to manage it. The next step was to find someone who could cut it. I have had average haircuts in the past and there would always be something that caused me not to return (one would cut my hair in a way that didn't look as flattering, although I couldn't put my finger on it, another lectured me the whole time about how he was actually a messiah to help curly-haired woman understand their hair, both talked way too much for my liking). I'm pretty consistent with what I want - no frills, easy to manage hair. So I searched again for someone who would be able to cut my hair in such a way that I'd feel 100% happy and return. It was overwhelming due to all the hype surrounding Deva cuts and other famous curly hair salons that can be found in LA. I actually made a list of Yelp results and eliminated them until I was left with Tara's page. So I booked with Tara. My first cut was nothing out of the ordinary - trim and long layers. I also got the protein biotin treatment by Naja which made me feel so pampered. I loved the results. My next cut, I wanted to go slightly outside my comfort zone and I got bangs. Tara made me feel relaxed and the cut turned out so amazing. I was so pleased since I wasn't sure I could manage having bangs. Tara kept in touch after my cut to make sure I was happy. This time, I got shorter bangs and I'm in love with the results. I feel confident coming to Tara whether it's for the usual or if I want to take more of a risk with my hair. I also enjoy having my hair washed and treated by Naja. Both of them have really nice vibes and make me feel relaxed. I think it's important for the people handling your hair to be balanced. I always leave looking and feeling amazing. Plus they play the BEST '00s RnB which makes me nostalgic every time. It's a great experience in all aspects. If you are on the fence, or just looking for a trustworthy experience for your hair, I highly, highly recommend Tara Love Beauty! read more

Honestly, the best hair salon experience I've ever had! Tara and Naja KNOW what they're doing with natural hair and work with you to make your hair as healthy as it could be. I have natural hair (4a/4b) and have been getting treatments/shampoo/blow-dry/flat irons with them for a little while, and my hair is healthy and looks amazing (plus the styles last much longer and stays moisturized)! On top of that, they're just fun to hang with in the salon! Also, they were incredibly safe with COVID measures - taking your temperature upon entry, hand sanitizer, sanitizing seats in between clients, and always wearing masks. I can't recommend them enough - if you're hesitating to book with them, DO IT! The price is worth the result, trust me. read more

Walked into the salon, was greeted with a smile and asked who I was there to see. I was offered water/tea. The salon is clean. Everyone there is welcoming. Tara is amazing! My hair is kinky and hard to manage because of the texture. There are numerous hair stylist in my area but in my opinion, they're not educated in hair care. Tara sat down with me, asked questions about my hair routine and went from there. Her assistant, Rosalyn was sweet and gentle while she washed my hair. I spent maybe an hour and half there. I left the salon with a new attitude! My hair was fabulous! I got compliments from lots of people! My sister told me that my hair was giving her life! Yes hunny! I will continue letting Tara do my hair. She knows hair care! read more

These ladies did such a good job. It's not easy to find a good fit. Maybe it's common to have a not-so-good salon story or two in our past. Lol. But these ladies just made my day. I even enjoyed watching them work on the other clients. I thought she was breezing through her clients with no problem, she worked so quickly and made it look so easy- styling a few completely different textures of hair. But she said, "No, that's one of the hardest cuts I have to do." Well, if she makes what's difficult look that good, and that easy... my hat off to you, ma'am! And literally, my hat off to these ladies. I had a hat in the car just in case it didn't go so well. I forgot all about that hat. Literally, literally heads turned and strangers complemented me everywhere for the rest of the day. Isn't that great? I can't wait to visit here again in the future. It was such a treat to leave with my hair exactly how I imagined, to the T. Even better, really, maybe. I was definitely happy with how my hair looked and felt. Woo hoo ;) read more

I LOVE getting my hair done at Tara Love Hair! After moving to LA, it took almost 2 years for me to find a hair stylist that I trust and specializes in African American and Dominican hair, but I'm so glad I found Tara. She and her daughter, Naja are a dynamic and professional team that make the hair salon experience enjoyable and such a treat every time I get my hair done. It is also great to see how they treat everyone professionally, offering a welcoming and friendly environment, which is definitely not always the case at hair salons! I have natural thick hair and they really have worked a miracle turning my hair around to be noticeably healthier, longer and thicker. They clearly have great knowledge of taking care and treating all types of hair. I also appreciate how they educate me on how to keep my hair and scalp healthy in between visits. I am always looking forward to getting my hair done and even my husband comments on how amazing my hair looks since Tara has been taking great care of my hair! read more
