The Artist Behind Salon Amoura

Meet Amanda

Amanda's passion for hair began at just 14 years old when she dual enrolled in high school and cosmetology school, laying the foundation for a career built on artistry, education, creativity, and innovation.

Amanda gained international recognition in 2012 when she placed twice in the Top 10 of Sebastian Professional's International What's Next Awards and traveled to Berlin, Germany, where she earned 1st place among top stylists from around the world. The victory led to her debut at New York Fashion Week for designer Mara Koffman.

That same year, Amanda won Pravana's Show Us Your Vivids competition and traveled to Los Angeles for an editorial photoshoot with Shear Genius winner Brig Van Osten and Modern Salon. Her work continued to receive national recognition through styling competition wins with Kenra Professional, Matrix, and Pravana, along with a Behind the Chair Colorist of the Year (BIG SHOT) nomination and a North American Hairstyling Awards (NAHA) nomination for makeup artist of the year.

Named one of the Top 25 Hairstylists Under 25 internationally, Amanda's work has been featured more than 80 times in print and digital publications. Her portfolio includes work connected to Forbes, Vogue, Sports Illustrated, Pepsi, ESPN, WWE, AEW, and other national brands and organizations.

Her signature color and extension work has appeared across WWE RAW, SmackDown, NXT, AEW programming, pay-per-views, WrestleMania, television, advertising campaigns, editorial shoots, and live events.

In 2016 Amanda opened Your Favorite Salon in Orlando, where she built a reputation for luxury hair extensions, custom color transformations, and personalized guest experiences. Today, that vision continues through Salon Amoura, an Orlando hair salon specializing in premium hair extensions and tailored color near UCF and Waterford Lakes.

Amanda is also the creator of By Amoura, a luxury hair extension brand designed with extension wearers and blondes in mind. Whether behind the chair, backstage, or developing products, she remains committed to creativity, craftsmanship, education, and elevating the client experience.
