CINDYLOU DOUGLAS
Bio
With 25 years behind the chair, Cindylou brings a rich blend of experience, artistry, and soul to every service.

She’s passionate about working with natural texture and creating it where it doesn’t exist, shaping bold, lived-in cuts full of movement and edge. Her true purpose? Making sure every guest and every team member feels seen, celebrated, and unafraid to show up as their most authentic self.

Amanda Kirchner
Bio
Amanda’s all about the bold. She specializes in pixie cuts, shags, mullets, mohawks, and anything with texture or edge. If it’s fierce, fearless, or just plain fun, she’s into it. Her passion is helping clients express themselves with cuts that are anything but ordinary. She’s also a little obsessed (in the best way) with eyebrows, sculpting and shaping them with precision. To Amanda, brows are everything. They frame the face, amplify the eyes, and bring the whole look together. She may or may not be neurotic about getting them just right, but trust us, that’s exactly what you want.
