Tanya
Tanya's fascination with colour began at an early age. After graduating from Voila Institute, she honed her skills and developed a unique style that is distinctly her own. She has a particular fondness for blonding hues, coppers, and fantasy colours, often incorporating them into her work.
Her favourite colour, however, is not a single shade but a spectrum - the rainbow. This love for the rainbow is evident in her creations, where she often uses a vibrant mix of colours that blend seamlessly into each other, much like a rainbow.
Tanya is also skilled in the art of hair cutting for women and children, allowing her to bring her artistic vision to life through the medium of hair. With her keen eye for detail and her ability to understand her clients' desires, Tanya creates hairstyles that not only complement their features but also reflect their individual personalities.
When she's not playing with colours, Tanya is an avid reader. She enjoys immersing herself in different worlds through the pages of a book. She also loves spending time with her cats, finding their company soothing and inspiring. Their playful antics often serve as a source of inspiration for her, leading to some of her most creative and innovative works.
