Aura has spent a number of years teaching classes to hairdressers across the country for major haircolor manufacturers.  She excels at creative and corrective haircolor. She serves on the Board of Directors for the American Board of Certified Haircolorists and is a speaker at their annual Energizing Summitt.

Her most requested classes are "It's Not About The Haircut! " and "Creativty Boot Camp."   Her cutting training started at Vidal Sassoon, and her commitment to education is unparalleled.

In her book, Get Some Hairapy!  A hairdresser's prescription for happiness she shares her best insights and stories to help you create the life you deserve.  Copies are available in the salon or at www.bbotw.com.  Be advised that Aura may be unavailable at times due to her other engagements.  Please feel free to see any staff member if you can not wait!

Aura keeps a blog where you can get updates on the salon (with pictures of actual client's hair), the staff and our neighborhood as well as the broad topic of Happiness.  You can read it here. You can also add her as a Facebook friend or follow her on twitter.

Aura doesn't hesitate to suggest changes to keep clients' looks updated, nor is she shy about trying new things.  She is uniquely skilled at helping clients find styles that flatter them, fit into their lifestyle, and don't take ages to style. If you want a haircut that looks good even if you aren't gifted with styling tools and techniques, Aura has an answer.  (And she was voted Tacoma's Best Haircutter two years in a row!)

While she has a special affinity for using bright, crayon colors, Aura understands that not everyone wants color that draws attention to itself.  She is just as happy to create a look so natural that no one knows your hair is colored.

When you get to the salon, look for the gal with glasses, as Aura's haircolor may be different every time you visit!

Aura's prices for color start at $75, highlights are $50-$150 and cuts are $60. 

Elumen, her specialty, starts at $100.
