Founder & Owner

Tanya

Creative Director

Originally from the beautiful town of Niagara-on-the-Lake, Canada, I’m proud to now call Pittsburgh home—one of the most amazing cities. I’ve always had a love for hair and the artistry behind it. My passion has taken me around the world, from extensive training with Vidal Sassoon to continuing my education in France, Italy, Vancouver, and California. I truly believe you never stop learning or growing as an artist.

I specialize in all types of coloring and precision haircuts, including precision butterfly haircuts, using the timeless Sassoon techniques that have shaped my career. I love the creativity, attention to detail, and personal connection that go into making each client look and feel their very best.

One of the things closest to my heart is mentoring young stylists and helping them discover their own creativity and confidence.

At Whitehouse Salon, I’ve always believed we’re artists, not just hairdressers. There are a million hairdressers out there, but true artists are rare. That’s the passion I bring to my work every single day.

For me, it’s about so much more than hair. It’s about the people, the relationships, and making someone feel beautiful when they leave my chair.
