Welcome to
The Professional's Column!
Hello! I'm Amber, and I'm glad you're here!
This is where professionals in the beauty industry can come together and just BE. Outside of being a wife and mother of four, I am a Transformation Expert specializing in hair color, cutting, and styling, and sometimes I get burnt out in the social media world. I'm also an educator and platform artist for IdHAIR North America, and more recently, a Lead Hairstylist for New York Fashion Week. Needless to say, I keep busy, but the journey has been incredible!
Being an independent stylist has evolved to require so much more out of us than it used to. Am I right? So, I decided to try something new! The Professional's Column is a blog space for humor, tips, tricks, and encouragement for those in our industry.
No competition. No haters. Only input for growth and fun!
Maybe you're an avid article reader, or maybe you're just dipping your toes in the water to see what this is about. Either way, here are some specific ways I believe this blog will help you!
YOU'LL GET A HEFTY DOSE OF MOTIVATION!
Everyone needs guidance, and I am frequently reminding myself that no one was born with any cheat codes to life! We must spend our time being open and patient to learn and grow.
While I'm learning every day, I love to share what has helped me along the way!
You will be able to access a variety of pointers I've picked up regarding running a business, defeating the "fizzle-out", networking in our industry, marketing tips, photography hacks and so much more!
THIS IS A PLACE TO LET YOUR HAIR DOWN!
Beauty professionals have a superpower that helps people see themselves in an empowering way. By the end of the day, we have usually been every client's ear for their personal business, covered greys, fixed their mascara, clipped their ends, been their paparazzi, and still didn't get a potty break! HA!
Listen- I get it!
The Professional's Column will offer posts that are simply meant to lift you up and give you a giggle!
We all need a hype girl from time to time, and I'm happy to do it. Just sit back, get some laughs and inspiration, and eat cake! YOU DESERVE IT!
CHEERS TO NEW BEGINNINGS!
Cheers to growing stronger together as a community of motivated and encouraging professionals with great hair! I look forward to making connections and experiences during this season of my journey, but until then, remember that you didn't come this far to only come this far.

XXOO,
