I've been Tawnya's client since 2021 and I LOVE how she's honest about hair care. I've asked her about how often to give my hair a break from color, what her top hair product recommendations are, but more than anything, she listens- we talk about things that we're watching, beauty products we're into, and eatery places. I also appreciate how the salon suite reflects Tawnya's personality through her overall decor- especially when there's a holiday (see attached photos). read more

TLDR; I will go out of my way to see Tawnya I recently visited Tawnya for a trim & hair treatment. For context, I probably have closest to a 2C wavy type hair, no color treatment, hair near my waist & my last haircut was maybe 6 months ago. I have very dry hair & want to keep my hair long while making it stronger & healthier. I booked a haircut & K18 treatment. I am writing this review 2 days after my visit & drove from the Costa Mesa area. Service- Tawnya asked a lot of specific questions to make sure we were on the same page for what I wanted. It was surprising how detailed some of the questions were, some were things I never thought about. She told me exactly how much she'd be cutting off & it was exactly that. We also did a leave in treatment which my hair desperately needed. I could instantly feel the difference in my hair. The ends were completely soft and my hair had an extra shine to it. People around me noticed too, two days after my visit & I'm still getting compliments about how great my hair looks. I will absolutely be coming back. Location - Look for Sola Salons when you pull up to the parking area. That is the entrance you'll want to take. Tawnya has her own private studio inside. Part of the reason I hate going to a traditional salon is the combined noise from all the stylists. It is overstimulating & I walk away feeling exhausted. I had heard she had her own space but didn't realize how much of a huge difference it would make. I walked away from this appointment feeling re-energized & went out with friends. read more

I've been going to Tawnya for a while now, and I can't recommend her enough! She has cut my hair, installed my wig, and even helped with my makeup on multiple occasions. Each time, I'm amazed by her attention to detail, creativity, and the way she truly listens to what I want. The haircuts are always spot-on, perfectly tailored to my style and face shape. When it comes to wig installations, she's a pro--making sure everything looks natural and feels comfortable. And her makeup skills? Flawless! She has an eye for color and contour that leaves me feeling confident and beautiful. If you're looking for someone who's not just skilled but also genuinely cares about making you look and feel your best, Tawnya is your go-to. She's a true artist in her craft! read more

I've had the pleasure of knowing Tawnya since her days in cosmetology school, and it's been incredible to watch her grow into the talented and knowledgeable hairdresser she is today. From the very start of her career, I've remained a loyal client because every haircut leaves me feeling more confident, refreshed, and ready to take on the world. Her new place is just as welcoming, with amenities that made my first visit even more enjoyable and leave me eager to return. Whether it's a bold short cut or a simple trim, I'm never anything less than thrilled with her work. Thank you, Tawnya, for being there through it all--you truly are amazing! read more

I was lucky enough to have Tawnya say she was available for a cut & color change on my hair one day & the rest is history. I do not get my hair done very often but when I do I am very particular about who I let touch my hair. Tawnya has always exceeded my expectations. My hair is on the longer side, curly & thick & she manages it with ease. Since that 1st appointment she has always been very clear on how to get my hair to what I am looking for (i.e it may take a few sessions to get that blonde ) while also being transparent about costs. I can sometimes feel anxious to communicate what I want done & also nervous to talk about how much I am able to spend on a session but with Tawnya's friendly & welcoming vibe I feel super comfortable discussing it all & make a plan for the session. Her new suite is cute & clean, with snacks/drinks which come in clutch for a late night appointment. Her becoming my stylist was a stroke of luck but my continued appointments with her through the years come because of her talent & personality. I appreciate her taking the time to fit me in when I'm in desperate need of having my grays covered on short notice too! You won't go wrong with booking with Tawnya! read more
