Tania Ferrel-Saldana, Founder of Colour Bar Studio, is an American Board Certified Haircolorist (for more info check out https://www.haircolorist.com/). Tania trains all over the world in order to meet the demands of the discerning clientele in the DC Metro region, making Colour Bar Studio the perfect place to make your hair dreams come true.

“I became a founder because I was taught by my mother to work hard, never give up, and to fight for what I believe in.

I believe these wise words have manifested itself into what is now known as Colourbar Studio. We all have a mission in life, and my mine is to touch people’s lives through their hair. My passion for doing hair comes from the joy that I get from being able to visibly see the difference in client’s confidence and self esteem after leaving the chair. After over 25 years, I opened Colour Bar Studio five years ago to begin to make my own impact in the industry. My passion for hair has driven me to give back, inspire new talent stylists and to show them how to put their heart into what they love.

My favorite projects involve balayage, red color, hair extensions and color corrections; I love a challenge. As a former Wella Educator, I believe that the learning process never ends. Here at Colour Bar Studio, I emphasize this by having regular educational classes to keep the salon up to date with all the latest trends and techniques.”

As part of Colour Bar Studio’s mission to make a difference, Tania has aligned the salon with the National Capital Lyme Association and hosts an annual fundraiser in the spring. All proceeds raised are donated to the organization, funding research and awareness for Lyme Disease.

“Ever since high school my passion for coloring and styling hair has grown. I enjoy creating, color correction and even perms. I’m a bit of a perfectionist and I always do my best to fulfill the clients’ desired looks. Over the years I have discovered that the most satisfying part of being a hairstylist is being able to help clients see the beauty within themselves.

”Around age 14, I began working as a shampoo assistant at a salon. That is when I quickly learned that I wanted to be a hair stylist. I’m a very creative and unique individual and making others feel unique is the most rewarding part of my career. Even after 16 years of being a licensed stylist, I can still create new looks on a client every day. On top of cutting and coloring, I can do Japanese hair straightening. Working hand in hand with my clients allows me to offer them the best service possible for each personal style.``
