Tara's Beauty Salon owner Tara Abate Biondi credits her mom for giving her a creative flair and background. 

Tara's Beauty Studio is located at 2740 Main St. Rocky Hill, (860) 372-6405.

"For as long as I can remember, I've been into art," said Tara Abate Biondi, owner of Tara's Beauty Salon. "My mom has always been very artistic and crafty, and my dad is a very talented photographer. In my elementary school yearbook I wrote 'I would like to be an art teacher when I grow up, because I like to draw.' I did not become an art teacher, but close enough; I'm a make-up artist!

"I have always been very interested in photography, fashion and styling. I like to take the experiences I have had with art and with people from the different cities I have traveled to and apply them to my work. I started doing make-up in a small salon in Glastonbury and that is when I decided to take it to the next level. I signed up for a make-up artistry course, where I learned techniques, face shapes and color theory. I enjoyed the course, and was eager to get my certification."

After a short time at the salon, she applied for a position at MAC in 2005. She landed a 16-hour position. Two months later she was promoted to the 24-hour position and it was only up from there.

"MAC is where I learned everything; the best teachers were my fellow employees," Abate Biondi said. "MAC molded me and gave me the exposure I needed. Over the past few years I have worked on many films, photo shoots, fashion shows, theaters and numerous Bridal parties in the New England area. Some of my favorite ventures have been New York Fashion Week, Style Week Providence, shoots for Mallory Musante Shoes and Fashion & Fame Magazine.

"My passion is wedding parties. There is something exhilarating about making a bride feel amazing and elegant. I am all about being part of your fairytale and special day. I am here to provide exceptional, traditional make up for you and your whole wedding party. I travel to the location of your choice: your residence, hotel, or the venue of your convenience."
