tālem salon and wellness collective is a talented group of stylists and wellness partners with a passion for expanding the perception of what it means to feel and live beautiful from the inside out. We are a close-knit group of good vibe junkies that trust in the universe, share in love and passion, and seek to help each client/patient find their balance.

We have a highly-trained team that provides the very best in hair care, beauty, and wellness services, but the ‘balance’ part is where we really shine. When you come to tālem, you feel like you’re at your favorite local coffee shop. We have created a wellness-focused environment that helps you feel joyful and rejuvenated. At tālem, it’s ‘you time’, time to breathe deep and let the stress melt away. Our space is filled with dōTERRA Essential Oils, natural light, and positive vibes.

Like everything and everyone, tālem has evolved into what it is today. When owner Brianne Bustamante started out, her career pursuits were driven by a simple childhood love of hair and makeup. As her expertise grew, and life-view expanded, so did her mission. In 2005 Brianne opened the doors to a new salon concept…one that strived to be more than a place where you come to hide imperfections or adopt what’s trending. She set out to create a more holistic approach to beauty, one that included feeling and looking great. Rooted in the idea that beauty (and joy) starts on the inside, the tālem philosophy is to provide exceptional service to its clients in a peaceful, wellness-centered environment.

We believe in good juju. Inside the salon, you’ll find the tālem ‘Corner Market‘ which carries products from local Kansas City businesses. All of the proceeds from anything purchased in the market are donated to Supporting Kids Foundation.

It is important to get up, show up and look and feel your best on the outside, right?  Unfortunately, we live in a fast-paced world where we feel out of control and get busy in our day to day, “everyone needs something from me now, stress-filled, errand running, kids schedules, I do not have enough time in the day for me” life and forget how important it is to look and feel good on the inside. 

The word tālem means“empower”. Our goal is to empower each and every one of our clients/patients to take control of their own health and “empower” change.
