About Amanda

---

Amanda has always loved hairstylists.  Ever since she accompanied her mother to the salon at 4 years old, watching Margaret perm her mother’s hair, she loved everything about the salon. As the years passed, she would bring her ideas to her hairstylists and collaborate on her cuts and colors. More than one would say, “You should go to beauty school!” But it didn’t register until Amanda was 30 years old and at a crossroads. After working in child care, social services, and information technology, Amanda wondered, “Should I go for it?” At 31 years old, Amanda enrolled in beauty school at night. For two years, she worked a full time job and went to class 4 nights a week. She graduated and got her license in 2015. She would work all day and cut, color, and style hair in the evenings and on the weekends. She built a small but loyal clientele. After about 10 months, she quit her day job and was a full time hairstylist. 

Amanda always puts 100% of herself into her passions, and hairstyling was no different. It was Amanda’s dream to be an international educator with a manufacturer, traveling the world and teaching on stage. She had started on that path, and unexpectedly, her plans were derailed - causing her to reevaluate completely. Amanda’s focus became the clients in her chair, the ones that allowed her to do this in the first place. The ones that truly believed in her. That’s when she became the hairstylist she was meant to be. Amanda discovered how much she loved to do hairstyling for weddings and special occasions. She also did hairstyling and wig styling for theatre, tv, film, and commercials. Her expertise was expanding and she was feeling like anything was possible.
