About — Tania Whittier

After decades in the industry she discovered

that you can get the same results without all the chemicals and

has become passionate about getting this message out to the

world.

Tania started her career the day after she graduated high

school in Wisconsin. Ready for more, she packed up and

headed to Chicago where she specialized in color at a top salon

and eventually became an educator. It was there that she

became really interested in hair texture and treatments. Tania

made a promise to herself “When you start getting bored, listen and find another adventure,” so

after 4 years she packed her bags and moved to Los Angeles. She landed at Meche soon after their

opening where she focused on color and treatments; however, she started noticing that the

treatments were making her feel sick, gave her headaches and made her eyes water.

It was a client who opened Tania’s eyes about non-toxic smoothing treatments on the market that

could only be accessed by licensed hair stylists. She started experimenting with the treatments and

loved the results on her clients. She now carries a variety of non-toxic smoothing treatments that

are geared toward various client needs. She has created her own way of customizing the

treatments as it’s no longer a one size fits all situation. A few years ago after seeing how successful

non-toxic treatments were (both from client demand and the results), she knew it was time to

research salon professional color options. She has found products that give the results she expects

without the chemicals and dyes. Tania has a high standard of maintaining the healthy integrity of

her clients hair by using the most natural products available on the market without compromising

the results or longevity.

Tania truly enjoys learning about the ingredients and the science behind how these treatments

work. She is passionate about helping other hairstylists learn about cleaner products and

encouraging them to make healthier choices for clients as well as themselves -- they are the ones

day in and day out breathing in these chemicals daily. Above all, her favorite part of the job is

talking with clients and helping them achieve their dream hair while doing it in the most natural

way possible.
