Tara Goetz

A native Texan who’s called Austin home since 2015, Tara has always been drawn to creative expression. After exploring different career paths, her mom suggested she tour a cosmetology school, and the moment Tara stepped into Paul Mitchell the School Austin, she knew she’d found her calling. She applied immediately and hasn’t looked back since. 

As a stylist, Tara is known for her warm, welcoming personality and her ability to make anyone in her chair feel comfortable and confident. She loves connecting with people, listening to their vision, and creating customized styles that reflect who they are. Every color, cut, and conversation is an opportunity for her to blend artistry with authenticity.

When she’s not behind the chair, Tara’s likely tending to her thriving houseplants, taking photos of yet another stunning Austin sunset, or spending time with her beloved cats. She’s a self-proclaimed “yes” person who loves good conversation, live music, and making the most of life in the Live Music Capital of the World, whether that’s catching a show at the Continental Club or enjoying a sunset picnic at Auditorium Shores.
