Andrea Tharp
Owner + Stylist
After being behind the chair for over 18 years, Andrea has a true passion for her craft. In this ever evolving industry, she continues to take classes and stay up to date on all of the latest trends. Connecting with each guest to help guide them to the best color and cut uniques to them gives her great joy.
As a mom of two little boys, Andrea understands what it means to have “easy” hair when your life gets busy. Whether that is dimensional color for a natural looking grow out, or a textured haircut for that wash and wear style, she is committed to customizing the perfect look for your hair type and lifestyle.
Andrea moved from Royal Oak to Traverse City 9 years ago and couldn’t be happier. Raising her sons in such a beautiful city and community was the best decision she ever made.
