Born and raised in New Jersey, Marissa Tharp has always had a passion for hair. For her, it wasn’t just the technical aspect that drew her to the industry, but the power to make people feel good about themselves. She moved to Florida to attend Paul Mitchell The School in Tampa. After graduation she apprenticed at a well-renowned salon in Sarasota, really getting to know the insides and out of the salon life. Once she had completed that she made the move to Orlando where she built herself up in the area. Over the past fourteen years behind the chair, she has participated in countless continuing education classes with Eufora International, L’Oreal Professional and Kerastase. She works hard to stay on top of new and upcoming trends so she can provide her guests the best hair experience. Marissa was part of the Orlando Magic Dancers styling team for two years. She specializes in balayage, vivid colors, color corrections and extensions. Her passion for hair continues to grow with every year and every guest who sits in her chair!
