Amanda is a pro. Period. I gave it a few days before writing a review because I wanted to see how well I could style my hair at home first (since we know that is the true test of a haircut!). I found Amanda on Yelp on a Sunday morning and asked if she could give me a highlight later that day. I had no time to see my regular guy that week and NEEDED highlights. She went and opened the salon for me that afternoon. Although I came for jus a highlight, she immediately started picking through my hair and pointing out errors with the cut. I was happy enough with my current cut, but it wasn't great. I have really thick hair and it's awful for me to style. I figured I was just stuck with unruly hair. She asked if she could do a cut as well as the highlight, so I agreed. Wow, my hair lays the right way now and I can actually work with it at home! The way she cut it was perfect for my hair type. She was able to accomplish a perfect cut without sacrificing any length. The color was also fantastic- very natural. The only drawback was the salon she works in. It's a bit dated and not in a happening area of town. However, if you can get over that, her cut, color, and expertise were amazing!!
