My name is Amanda, I am a licensed hairstylist with over 100 vintage sets under my belt. During my training, I learned vintage styling first-hand from someone with 50+ years experience and taught me the roller set she used on Marilyn Monroe!
While in the salon I assisted a five-time Wella International Trend Vision Award finalist, helped with photo shoots, indie fashion shows and created vintage hairstyles for film projects. As a huge classic movie enthusiast, I have spent countless hours analyzing films, reading books on Old Hollywood and studying the career-defining looks of iconic stars–all while learning the backstory of beauty which still influences the industry today.
Dedicated to putting the Professional back into Beauty Professional, I see the need for transparency and accurate information of beauty ingredients, fundamental knowledge of skin and hair, as well as the necessary dive into some basic chemistry, medical and health topics. The access to beauty content is at an all time high, and I want to provide a place to clear up common myths and empower fellow beauty professionals and the clients who rely on them.
