Amanda has been in the beauty industry for over twelve years. She has spent the last portion of her career working in Baltimore. In August 2016, she decided it was time to make her own mark on the beauty industry and her local community. With these strong passions, she opened Ash and Oak Salon in February of 2017. Ash and Oak was established by wanting to create a space where her clients could be taken care of, both intimately and flawlessly, with products and services that benefit those clients and the environment at the same time. Her strengths are problem solving, unruly hair taming, and dimensional coloring. Amanda's books are currently closed and she is not accepting new clients at this time.
