MEET TATUM
Born an artist, I’ve always been drawn to working with my hands—whether it’s molding clay, crafting vibrant meals in my kitchen, or shaping hair into something expressive and alive. Hair is my medium, and your natural texture is my canvas.
I specialize in dry cutting because it lets me see your hair exactly as it lives—how it moves, how it curls, how it frames you. Every cut I create is completely custom, designed to fit not just your hair, but your lifestyle and personality. I especially love sculpting bobs, shags, and bangs that bring out the best in your hair.
While I often cut dry to honor curls and waves, I also work with a razor on wet hair to create softness and movement in finer or straighter textures. My approach is intuitive and texture-aware, shaped by years of experience with all hair types.
Inspired by a beachy lifestyle and a love for low-maintenance beauty, I’m passionate about helping my minimalist clients better understand and work with their hair. Your appointment isn’t just about the cut—it’s a hands-on experience meant to build confidence in your everyday routine. I want you to leave the chair feeling empowered to bring out the best in your hair with ease.
Color is another part of my craft. I gravitate toward enhancing what’s already there—creating soft, sun-kissed tones that mimic what the sun naturally does in the summertime. More recently, I’ve been encouraging clients to embrace their natural silvers. I’m doing fewer grey root touch-ups and more custom blending that allows silver to shine through in a way that feels effortless and beautiful.
While I’ve become known for my work with curls, I began my career cutting straighter textures and styling undone waves with a curling iron. That foundation gave me a deep understanding of all hair types, making me a well-rounded stylist with an artistic, thoughtful approach.
More than anything, I want you to feel seen, confident, and authentically yourself in my chair. So come in, be my hair muse, and let’s create something beautiful together.
