I am constantly upgrading my tools and education. You never stop learning. I keep up to date on cutting and coloring, trends and techniques. I, myself have found I have a passion for teaching. I find it important to teach you how to do your hair at home. From shampooing to styling, I want you to feel confident in recreating your style at home.

Outside of the salon, I enjoy spending time with my two cats. I love watching horror movies. I am passionate about makeup and my collection shows it.

My name is Claire Taft. I moved to Missouri in 2008 from Utah. I have been a licensed cosmetologist since 2018. My specialties behind the chair include, extensions and hair/makeup for weddings. To be a part of someone’s special day is such a privilege. I find, it’s also a special day for the mother of the bride. Making her feel beautiful and special is also my priority.
