Okay...well...I don't normally write negative reviews but I want to try to help someone from experiencing what I just did. I learned about Tamara on this site. Her salon is very cute and I was looking forward to having my color and cut done. I moved to Tahoe recently and had put off getting color and a cut for months out of fear. Well, my worst fears came true sadly at Tamara's hands. I ended up with massive white streaks and a brassy orangy color. The cut wasn't horrible but sort of what I would expect from Supercuts. Tamara has a lot of positive reviews so I felt safe only to discover she was giving clients a $70.00 discount off of any future service (nails, massage, etc.) in exchange for writing a nice review. Needless to say I'm now skeptical about online reviews. While I was at her salon the girl in front of me complained that she hated her color and had asked for no ash (her hair was very ashy), the woman who got a haircut after me (while I was in foil) said are you mad at your boyfriend today because you cut the front of my hair so short last time while you were talking about how upset you were at him, and another woman called while I was in her chair complaining about how much she hated the eyebrows she'd just had done, leading Tamara to say I'll refund your $15. since I talked you into them. This leads me to believe her reviews are not totally honest. I needed to get my hair fixed quickly so I asked my bay area sophisticated friend (why didn't this occur to me before) who her stylist was and she told me about Angela at Faze's in South Lake Tahoe. I booked an appointment and she was awesome! Within a couple of hours my hair looked gorgeous. I hope this helps someone out!
Pros: Cute salon
Cons: Poor color, not very impressive cuts
