Amanda

Owner

Hi, I’m Amanda, owner of Live Free and Dye Salon and proud mentor to our incredible team. With 19 years of experience behind the chair, I’ve built my career on passion, education, and a deep love for creating confidence-boosting transformations.

I specialize in lived-in looks and balayage, gray coverage and blending, corrective color, curly hair, and cuts of all lengths, short, medium, long, and barber cuts. I also offer inspired weft and sew-in extensions for guests seeking added length or volume with a natural finish. Whether you're after a subtle refresh or a dramatic change, my goal is always to help you feel seen, radiant, and empowered in your skin.

As a coach and mentor, I’m incredibly proud of the culture we’ve built here, centered on support, growth, and unforgettable guest experiences. I work alongside an associate stylist and continuously travel for advanced education across Texas and the U.S. to keep our salon at the forefront of the industry.

Outside the salon, I’m a wife to my amazing husband, Philip, and a mom to four incredible boys. Life is full, chaotic, and beautiful, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

If you’re looking for a stylist who truly listens, connects with care, and delivers results that last, I’d love to welcome you to my chair.
