Amanda Riley

@amandarileyhairstylist

“When planning Taking Ownership all I could think about was myself and I’ll tell you why! Over a year ago I went booth rental/independent and was afforded the luxury of Taking Ownership over my business! When I was making moves I quickly realized there really wasn’t any reading material out there giving me step by step instructions on how to go booth rental, a blog, a book, a newspaper article or anything! So if you want to learn about going booth rental come to Taking Ownership!” -Amanda

Amanda Riley has been a hairstylist since 2008. After receiving her license in Colorado, she trained as an apprentice at The Parlour, a high-end salon in Denver. During her 6 years there, she worked on the bridal and photo teams in addition to her regular services. Moving to Los Angeles in 2015 has brought many new opportunities to Amanda including training to become a Wella Master Color Expert in February 2016.  Amanda works as an independent stylist at The Harbor!

Amanda’s specialty is color, due to her advanced training and certification. She enjoys working with blondes, balayages and copper colors! You'll find more of her work and day to day life on @amandarileyhairstylist.
