Hi there! I'm Taylor Silva, a hairstylist originally from the beautiful Northern California. My journey in the world of hair began at Paul Mitchell, and then my aspirations led me to the vibrant energy of Los Angeles. I kicked off my career in Beverly Hills, right on Rodeo Drive, assisting at the prestigious Lea Journo Salon within the Beverly Wilshire hotel.
Eventually, the charm of Santa Monica drew me in, and I've happily called it home ever since. You can now find me on Ocean Avenue at the wonderful Saulino Smith Salon. With nearly 15 years of experience behind the chair, my passion for hairstyling has only grown. There's truly nothing better than connecting with people and helping them feel fantastic about themselves!
I love coloring, blonding, and cutting—the transformation is so exciting to me. I especially love bringing out the undiscovered hair color that will perfectly complement your skin tone and eye color.
On a more personal note, I have a few fun hobbies that keep me busy outside the salon. I play the violin, enjoy the camaraderie of a couple of different run clubs, love to swim, and am always lost in a good book. Oh, and I'm a huge foodie, always on the lookout for the next delicious bite! I'm really looking forward to meeting you, having some awesome conversation, and helping you achieve your hair goals.
See you soon!
