MEET OUR TRIBE!

Hi! My name is Amanda and I am the owner of haven salon! I’ve been in the beauty industry since 2007.  I am behind the chair full time as a hairdresser / color specialist. During high school, I went to beauty school, worked in a salon, and became licensed shortly after graduation! I went to college to be an elementary school teacher, and am dual certified in special education. I graduated with a dual masters in 2013 and am certified to teach in NYS… but my passion for hair kept me out of the classroom! I have 3 children and they are truly my world! I’m obsessed with creating low maintenance lived in color looks like balayage, babylights, and color melts for my guests that stay looking great for months to come!
