Amanda absolutely nails my blonde look every single time I see her! She knows exactly what I like and the look I am going for, and she always provides her professional opinion; I completely trust her judgement. I love a natural, blonde look that takes some time to perfect but Amanda is patient, wonderful to chat with, and really knows what she is doing! I highly recommend Amanda as a colorist - she truly takes pride in her work and always listens to her clients. More recently, I haven't been able to get my hair done as often as I'd like due to COVID restrictions so my hair and color have

I have been going to Amanda for my hair services for a little over a year. I was really sad when the pandemic hit and she had to shut down operations temporarily. When she was able to open back up safely for her clientele, I was excited to sit in her chair again. Even though it had been much longer than we both anticipated for my next appointment, she still knocked my color out of the park. I am very particular about the way that my hair is cut and colored, and every single time she does not disappoint. I highly recommend you check out her services as I believe that she will be able to make you

I started visiting Amanda in the fall of 2018 and have never maintained this long of a relationship with a stylist. I'm picky about my hair, and my taste changes frequently, and Amanda is the only stylist I've worked with who can so consistently deliver not just solid results, but downright AMAZING looks. I always come out of a hair appointment with her to tons of compliments on my cut or color, and have numerous friends who have seen her and achieved equally amazing results. For context: I first went to Amanda with a raggedy, dry cut and long, overgrown *PURPLE* hair. I gave her the

Love Amanda! I'm not really one that gets into the chair unless I trust the hair dresser/stylist and man do I trust her. I looked at her Instagram first and was thinking of going blonde. I'd just gotten out of a bad relationship and now was the time for something new. She got me on the books and after 4 hours of doing all this hair...man I felt like a new woman and looked like one too! I didn't have to show her a picture of the type of cut or color I thought I wanted. I just told her I want blonde and she picked the perfect color and cut and it's like she knew I was a baller

I love that Amanda listens to and jokes around with me while I am in the chair. She is always willing to try new things on my hair and always brings new techniques to the table. Amanda is attentive and diligent about the rules that she makes to keep your hair glowing and beautiful and I couldn't appreciate her energy and expertise more! I would highly recommend this very qualified woman to anyone looking for a great hair stylist, and you will not be disappointed.
