Tash $$$ aka Natasha Vranic is a hairdresser extraordinaire, co-founder of Craft Salon, and proud owner of the 10 (hopefully) coolest fingernails you’ll ever see. After nine years behind the chair, and educating with Paul Mitchell, she has finally made her dream a reality and co-founded a salon that reflects her standard in the industry. Seriously gifted, with an eye for the strange and unusual, Natasha is particularly skillful with upstyles with a vintage flair, dynamic/bright hair color, balayage, short pixie cuts and personalized haircutting. The only thing that can outshine Natasha’s talent is her personality, because you will always leave her chair as her friend. Where is Natasha outside of the salon? Traveling the country, having adventures with friends and singing songs to her little black cat Lucipurr.

Meet Sarah Worden, or as we like to call her, Sparkle. Sarah has been behind the chair since 2006. Have you been searching for someone to create the most suitable style for your hair and your life? While she loves a good vivid hair color, she leans heavily toward haircutting. If you have curls or waves, she will use her extensive education to carve out the low maintenance hairstyle of your dreams. She is also your person if you seek a mullet, a razor shag, or a gender-affirming haircut. In her free time, Sarah loves to hang with her husband Scott, tend to her bees, cruise around in her old Mercedes Debbie, and plot ways to make Craft better than it already is.
