The Team
Okanagan Bridal Hair Styling Team
Tara : Master Stylist
“ OMG! I LOVE my hair! I didn’t even know it could look like this! You’ve exceeded my expectations.” - I love comments like this. I live for them.
It’s incredibly rewarding to see someone so thrilled when they see their new hairstyle in the mirror. Too often, we are our own harshest critics, fixating on imperfections that others don’t even notice.
My goal is to ensure that when you’re in my chair—whether it’s for your wedding day, family photo shoot, or boudoir session — you feel confident and beautiful. I want you to look in the mirror and absolutely love who you see.
I’ve always been a creative soul. It’s been over 15 years of hair for me, and I’m still obsessed with it. I love connecting with my clients. From listening to your life stories, to educating you about your hair needs and giving you styling and home care tips, I hold space for you in my chair. I look forward to working with you!

Shenara : Advanced Stylist
Hi! I’m Shenara. I am constantly staying up to date with the latest trends, tips and tricks to provide you with nothing but the BEST hair.
When I’m not creating beautiful wedding hair, I am spending time with my partner and our two young daughters. We enjoy traveling, paddle boarding, sunbathing, enjoying long walks and gardening. When winter arrives, I’m off to snowy mountains for snowshoeing & ice skating. I also love yoga and painting in my free time.
Shannon : Advanced Stylist
Hi! I’m Shannon. I’ve been Okanagan based since 2005. I absolutely love styling hair for weddings and events. I’m also a hairstylist behind the chair, specializing in vivid colours. You’ll find me at Burke Hair Lounge when I am not working a wedding.
When I’m not behind the chair, I enjoy playing with aerial silks and dancing with Femme Fatale. Each day is an opportunity to blend artistry and movement in the most exhilarating ways!
Melissa : Master Stylist
Hi! I’m Melissa! I’m Kamloops based but travel world wide to style hair for weddings and events. Some of my favourite locations have been Honduras, Mexico, and Ireland (or anywhere in Europe!
With 19 years’ experience in the beauty industry, 7 years specifically in Bridal and 150+ weddings under my belt, I’ve had the pleasure of working through many style trends. I love trying to predict what will be the most requested style of the next Bridal season and perfecting it!
Some of my favorite styles are Hollywood Waves, anything Boho, incorporating Braids, and Big Beautiful Bridal Buns – although my current obsession is the Kardashian/Pamela Anderson up-do.
