I am Tabitha Meadows Cooper and this is my story....
Born into a local native family full of gatherings, food, and outdoors you could say my childhood was nothing short of dirt roads and green pastures. My poppy would let me brush his soft fragile hair before i could walk. "Ducky" my grandmother taught me a french twist at 10 years old; over peanut butter fudge and laughs bc my little brothers h
air held a darling static that made us all smile (even him he was always smiling . With his big brown eyes he would stop by to see my progress on the French twist... let’s just say Ducky has a LOT of hair but I mastered the look at sgs 10. Watching my beautiful mom ( a retired Southern Bell of Cypress Gardens ) get ready for a fun night out before Ducky arrived always captivated my attention. Then, there was my sweet dad, he would allow me to concentrate close to 20 multicolored animal barrets in his mullet mane around 1987ish. Pushing close to 23 I decided to sit down and ponder what road I would take to better myself and others. Opening my own Salon was presented to me about 4 years into my hairdressing journey. Researching and getting a printed picture of what matters to me in this business has grown Uptown’s culture from seed. As a girl I would play in the orange trees in our backyard. From making flower arrangements to orange juice I've always loved this land. Now our trees are not where they once were. Our earth needs some TLC & we are here to make a small difference. Our products speak volumes about sustainability. KEVIN MURPHY is 100% OWP ( Ocean Waste plastic). KEVIN MURPHY and Mr.Smith two very botanical brands with healing properties. Along with RPM & JBeverly Hills our haircare will have you in luxury mode. We enjoyed a soft opening in the downtown Auburndale area roughly 3 years ago and have come a long way. Currently we are hiring for hairdressers Estititian’s and nail techs. We love our community! Thank you for your continued support. Thank you to all who have impacted this change and are always making sure to recycle and clean our beaches. If you have any recycling please call the City of Auburndale to take advantage of our new drop off.
