Tara Robinson
Luminary Nail Systems
Tara Robinson is the proud owner of Tara-Fied Nails in Lebanon, Oregon, and has spent nearly two decades building a career most nail techs dream of. She's opened her own salon, mentored extensively, traveled and taught for some of the most recognized brands in the industry, and earned the rare title of Master Educator with Luminary Nail Systems. She partnered with Luminary in 2018 because the product matched the philosophy she'd lived by her entire career: education and hands-on experience change everything. She leads every class the way she's built her own career — with the belief that you can learn something from everyone and you can never learn too much.
