Owner
Tara Trujillo
Tara began her journey in the skincare industry at just 15 years old as a receptionist at a local Santa Fe salon, where her passion for beauty and wellness first took shape. By 18, she had earned her licenses as a nail technician and esthetician, and over the past 19 years has built a well-rounded career specializing in facials, lash extensions, chemical peels, and more than 12 years in medical aesthetics. Tara joined Santa Fe Lash & Beauty Bar at 29 under the mentorship of Lisa Murphy, and after nine years of dedication, proudly became owner in 2023. Today, she is committed to honoring that legacy while continuing to elevate the standards of excellence the studio is known for, all while balancing a full life rooted in family, travel, and a love of new experiences.
