About Corrective Hair Services
I Fix Hair Disasters, Big or Small
Hair mess-ups happen. You walk out of a salon, look in the mirror, and just think, "What did they do to my hair?" That’s where I step in. I’ve been sorting out hair emergencies for over two decades, and honestly, I enjoy the challenge - whether it’s a color gone wrong, a cut that’s just not working, or curls that lost their bounce.
Color Correction That’s Actually Correct
- Got brassy or faded color? I’ll bring back the vibrancy and kick out that orange-yellow mess.
- Roots showing like a spotlight? I know how to blend them so it looks natural and you don’t need a touch-up every couple of weeks.
- If you’ve ended up with patchy color, I focus on evening everything out so your hair finally looks like it’s meant to.
- Curly hair folks, I see you. I fix color mistakes without ruining your curl pattern - you’ll get color that pops and curls that stay defined.
Haircut Rescue for When the Shape Is All Wrong
- If your hair's fallen flat or just feels off, I add layers and movement to get it lively again.
- Bad haircut? I’m not here to judge, just to reshape and make it work for you, not against you.
- Curly hair needs its own kind of TLC. I cut curls to tame frizz and bring out that natural bounce. Once you love your curls, there’s no going back.
Full-On Hair Makeover
Sometimes you just want to hit reset. I mix custom cuts and colors - think chocolate pecan, vanilla blonde, cinnamon brunette - for a real transformation, whether you’re prepping for a trip or just need a glow up.
If you’re recovering from a hair experiment, flying in from Dubai or New York for a fix, or just bored with your hair, I get it. I promise, I’m good at turning things around.

My Story
Hey, I’m Amanda. Been at this hair game over 25 years, and trust me, the buzz never dies. From jazzing up celebs to giving someone their first wild hair color, I’m still hooked. Went all the way to Sochi, Russia for training once—yep, my team landed early (which shocked the trainers, thanks to 'IST' jokes!). For me, it’s passion, learning, and bringing back the best tricks for you.
