MY BACKGROUND

MEET KELSEY TABA


Hi! I’m so excited to share my love of hair with you. I have always loved to create, and I’ll never forget when someone told me I was “created to create.” Whether that be baking, cooking, crafts, Macramé, or of course hair! I hope that my creations reflect the ultimate creator and give Him glory, for he is the one who created me and gave me the skill I possess.

MY JOURNEY

After high school, I went to Cedarville University and completed a Bible certificate. Then following that I served in Haiti for half a year with Youth With A Mission (YWAM). I’m so thankful for this time growing my understanding of who God is, love for people and His word! After these gap years of growth I moved to the Indy area with my family and started cosmetology school at Aveda. During my time at Aveda I had the opportunity to work on the Chosen TV series for season two on the hair and makeup team. I am so thankful I got to experience a whole different side of the beauty industry! When I returned I worked at Dry Bar styling hair for half a year where I focused on blowouts and styles. Then I transitioned to a Salon in Zionsville IN for a year and a half called No Label Salon where I grew in my skill and knowledge of cut and color! Being an independent stylist at Harbor Collective Salon now is a dream, getting to be apart of such a gifted team and run my own business. Some more about me- In 2021 I meet my now Husband and we got married November 2022. My life has changed for the better having Andrew in my life- we are excited to continue to build a community and life her in Indy!
