ABOUT US
Meet the Caring Hands Behind Peculiar Palms Salon
Welcome to Peculiar Palms, where healthy hair, natural beauty, and faith come together. Founded by Tamya Johnson, a licensed cosmetologist with over 8 years of experience specializing in locs, Peculiar Palms is dedicated to helping clients embrace and care for their natural hair with confidence.
For Tamya, locs have always been more than a hairstyle—they are what first inspired her passion for cosmetology. What began as a love for creating and maintaining beautiful, healthy locs grew into a lifelong career centered on education, creativity, and helping others feel their best. Today, she combines professional expertise with genuine care to provide every client with personalized services in a welcoming and relaxing environment.
At Peculiar Palms, we believe healthy hair is the foundation of every beautiful style.
