Aloha!
My name is Tahira, and I grew up right here on the beautiful island of Maui. With eighteen years of experience in the hair industry, I’ve dedicated my career to mastering the latest techniques and trends. I specialize in balayage and lived-in color, focusing on creating effortlessly beautiful, natural-looking hair.
I’ve had the privilege of training with industry leaders, including Lo Wheeler Davis, Guy Tang, Jack Howard and Adrianne Dara among many others. My education spans from the Di Pietro Todd Academy in San Francisco to specialized courses with brands like Bumble and bumble, L’Oréal Professional, SEVEN Haircare, Redken, and Blonde Solutions. I’ve also taken part in numerous independent cutting and color courses to stay ahead of the game with evolving styles and techniques.
I believe in keeping your hair healthy and beautiful, while achieving that “wow” factor.

I’m excited to have you in my chair, and I cant wait to bring your hair dreams to life✨

Did you guys know that we offer nail services?! 💅

Come enjoy a mani or pedi in our massage chair with an ocean view! We even have it set up so that you can get a manicure as your color is being applied and a pedicure as it’s processing to maximize your very precious time! ⌛️

This is our nail tech Annabelle 👑🪄

Born and raised on Maui, Annabelle started her cosmetology career in 2022 and graduated from Island Beauty School. She is well trained and gaining practice in all things beauty, but she has one passion and that’s NAILS! Let her get her hands on yours!

Kokua…Pono…..Ohana….ALOHA.
A few beautiful words I can use to describe what we’re witnessing here on our island amidst an indescribable tragedy that is still unfolding. I’ve never been so proud to be a part of community, everyone’s affected to some degree and everyone is giving their all. The grieving has only begun.

The IJS team has the gift of being able to make people FEEL better, and we’re here for you!

Through September I will match e-gift cards purchased online, use promo code ALOHA. A $25 donation gives a lifeguard or volunteer a haircut, a $20 donation gives someone a pedicure, a $100 donation helps a displaced mama get the works! Put a note on there if you would like us to get this in the hands of someone in need or send it to whoever you know that needs it.

We’re here for all of our ohana! Help us help you!
