Meet Tara, our passionate texture educator and Green Circle Ambassador here at Zinke Hair Studio. A Boulder native, Tara has always been deeply connected to their community and values local business and environmental responsibility. As a long-standing stylist with Zinke, Tara has played an integral role in shaping our salon’s culture and dedication to sustainability. We are proud to be a Green Circle Salon, and Tara ensures that we remain near 98% sustainable by carefully overseeing our processes and ensuring that waste is properly sorted.

Tara believes in the power of nature to heal and inspire, which is why they’re such a passionate advocate for the Aveda brand. As an herbal enthusiast and Reiki practitioner, they bring a holistic approach to their work and their interactions with clients. Tara’s artistic talents shine through in their favorite services behind the chair—braids and creative color—where they get to showcase their creativity and make clients feel confident and beautiful.

Outside of the salon, Tara loves to travel, experiencing new cultures and places, and has a deep fondness for kids and animals. Their caring nature, combined with their artistic and environmental passions, makes Tara an invaluable member of our team. We’re lucky to have their energy, dedication, and creativity at Zinke Hair Studio, and we’re excited to see all that they continue to achieve!
