Learning the ropes by hanging out and then working at her mom’s salon, Mandee Tauber quickly blazed a path of her own in the beauty world. Already, the Oribe educator has worked beside heroes like Oribe Canales and Guido Palau, and now has her sights set on taking it all global.

Secret Weapons
My Mentors
My first mentor was my mom, who helped me to understand silhouettes, angles and facial structures. Today, my mentors are Oribe Director of Training & Content Kien Hoang and Oribe Global Ambassador James Pecis, who’ve helped me develop an eye for runway hair and become a better educator.

Bucket List
I’d love to partner with an agency, and continue working with fashion brands and educating globally.
