The 23-year-old says business is booming at her new hair salon, TLC, in Woolmer Green.
The salon only opened three weeks ago, but Tara said bookings at the London Road studio are filling up nicely.

Tara has been in hairdressing since she was 15, and said the experience has stood her in good stead to run her own business.
