Hey y’all my Name is Amanda better known as Mandi

I’ve been in the industry for 7 years licensed for 6
I have always known since a very young age I wanted to do hair and it never changed (5 to be exact)
Aside from that you can find me at the gym in the weight room
If I’m not behind the chair I’m most likely hanging out with friends or at home with my fur babies
I love a good coffee I will never turn it down
Im in love with my bestfriend 3 1/2 years & counting
Family is everything to me (I do kinda have the best)
I love to get dirty I’m a gun shootin, boot wearin ,dirt bike riding , horse riding girl (I’m dressed for it I’m down for it)
Im half Hawaiian, Filipino, Spanish, Irish, Portuguese, & a drop of Chinese.
What I love most about doing hair is not only do you put trust in me sitting in my chair but I’m able to make you feel even more beautiful from the time you sit in my chair until the time you leave and that’s the most rewarding thing (say hello self confidence boost) I love to see the difference! There is nothing like the feeling after getting your hair done am I right?

It is really just a big hangout sesh and I love it! This most recent time, I wanted a color I've never tried before & that was a bit out of my comfort zone, and she absolutely KILLED it!!! She made me feel super informed and educated when explaining what she was going to do with my hair to get the color we wanted and throughout the whole process she explained step by step what she was doing.10/10 absolutely recommend! I started with a super dark brown box dye and left with the most gorgeous copper." JS

  • "Mandi is the absolute best! I am one of those people that switches up their hair often and she has not only been super patient with me but also comes up with the best solutions for my hair. I look forward to my appointments with her because we end up laughing and having a good time the entire service. She has also done my daughters hair that is thick, coarse and is so long it touches her lower back. She did a great job on the cut and then made excellent recommendations on products for her to use at home. Do yourself a favor and book time in Mandi's chair-you'll be happy you did!" ~ NR

  • "Mandy was great! I was super nervous about getting my hair done professionally after years, yet super excited about it because of how comfortable Mandy made me feel! Beautiful, relaxing energy at her studio, which made things so much easier and enjoyable for me. I had no idea what I was going to do to my hair, but she knew exactly what to do with it! Totally recommend her!" ~CG

  • "She is absolutely adorable and amazing I love her so much!! Highly recommend!" ~DR

  • I was super nervous getting my hair done by a professional for the first time. Until i messaged Amanda and she talked step by step and made me feel super comfortable. I don’t regret going with Amanda I love the outcome highly recommend. I will continue to go her. ~IG

  • Mandi is the most amazing Hairdresser I've been to in a while, with an amazing suite and outstanding customer service. Mandi is very gentle and will definitely not let you get bored! With amazing music choice! Her color sits amazing on my hair and never disappoints. I love her styles and my balayage turned out amazing! I would 10/10 recommend. ~KM

  • I got referred to Amanda by my mom who has been going to her for a bit now for extensions and a balayage. I was getting sick of my brassy brunette hair color and wanted some dimension without being platinum blonde. I told mandi that and I said I wanted a caramel balayage to still keep my brunette look and she did just that! We talked the whole time and we really clicked, and I really loved that because it's always nice to find that within a hairdresser. I love the way my hair turned out its very natural and she gave me exactly what I asked for. I would 10/10 recommend her for any extensions/lighting/color service. I will definitely keep coming back to her as she has great prices too! ~RM

  • Mandi is amazing! She’s transformed my hair with stunning balayage and perfect cuts that leave it healthy and vibrant. Her bi-weekly blowouts keep my hair smooth, shiny, and styled for days, while the monthly Japanese scalp treatments with massage are pure bliss—so relaxing and rejuvenating! Every visit feels like a luxury experience. Highly recommend Mandi for anyone looking for exceptional service and flawless results! ~SO

  • I have had the pleasure of going to Mandi for a little over a year. During that time, she has cut my hair, my daughter's hair and has been game to try anything new that crosses my mind. She has seen me through blonde, red, back to blonde and now a beautiful lived in type of bronde - even bangs! She's the absolute best and I always look forward to sitting in her chair. We always have the best time visiting during my appointments and I am always so impressed with how much time she spends investing into her craft - it's one of the many things we chat about. You can't go wrong making an appointment with Mand! ~NR

  • Mandi was extremely accommodating to me. I asked on social media if anyone had an opening for hair the day of, she was able to schedule me in. I had posted a picture of the dark cherry color I was looking for, and she was able to do the exact color I wanted. She was extremely professional and nice to chat with while getting my hair done. ~DB

  • I would recommend Mandi for hair color, color correction, scalp treatment, and blowout. Ever since she did hair correction on me, I have kept going to her for all my hair services. She also keeps my hair nice and healthy and helps me out when I want to tone my hair to see if it would look good! Definitely 100% would recommend her ~MD

  • I have lived in California for nearly 15 years, and without a doubt, Mandi is the best stylist I have ever found! Before meeting her, I relied on my trusted stylist back in Arkansas for everything. Mandi completely changed that the first time I saw her...I’ve had my hair cut, styled, colored with balayage, and treated with full Japanese treatments, and every single experience has been flawless. I originally discovered her through glowing local reviews, and she has exceeded all my expectations. Beyond her incredible skills, she is a wonderful person—so kind, caring, and passionate about her work. I won’t go anywhere else now! If you’re looking for someone who truly listens and brings your vision to life, Mandi is the one. Highly recommend! ~CRS

  • Im so happy I found Mandi randomly on Instagram , I had been looking for someone who offered Japanese scalp massage services in the east bay which is not so common and I didn’t want to make a drive elsewhere which is all 1 hour or so away , it was the best experience ever I was so relaxed and loved how I could actually see a before and after on my scalp. Definitely will be going back ! Not to mention she specializes in extensions and she helped me out with some clip ons I had and was able to get me in on short notice I was super grateful and satisfied thank you Mandi🫶 ~BS
