Hi! I’m Amanda. Currently flying back and forth between New York, NY
and Grand Rapids, MI (due to my husband’s job in NYC) has proved to be
challenging and rewarding all in one. Through this journey it has made
me appreciate life a lot more. Realizing the time I have in each place
is short so better to make the best of it. I have also realized my
clients don’t just stop at “clients.” They have proven to be
understanding, loyal, faithful, and best yet friends.
Starting my career in 2007 leaving Hope College and going to Douglas J
of Aveda was not only one of the hardest, but best decisions of my
life. Always surrounding myself with everything in fashion, I was
destined to be a stylist. Constantly continuing advance education in
color, cutting, and styling with Aveda, Bumble and Bumble, Redken, Paul
Mitchell, Tigi/Bedhead, Brocato, and even having the chance to work in
NYC at The Sam Brocato Salon has allowed me to stay on top of the
hottest trends.
In the last six years I have been allowed to share my passion and
knowledge with men and women alike. Whether it be behind the chair,
educating other stylists, or through my blog my goal is to understand
people’s needs and through that create unique and easy to maintain
styles customized to make you feel beautiful.
When I’m not doing hair, I am busy running around being homemaker,
wife, daughter, sister, and friend. Keeping myself busy by baking,
running, reading, shopping, playing with my dog Bailey, and of course
daydreaming hair.
