    Having just moved to Fl, I was afraid to try a new stylist. I saw Amanda Joy on nextdoor and the picture she posted sold me on her talent. When i saw the finished look i got teary eyed. My hair looks better today than it has in years. I feel amazing!

  • Review 2 (2025-02-01 - Rating: 5)

    I was in town visiting and needed my extensions moved up and my color corrected. Amanda knew exactly what to do and educated me as well. She is extremely knowledgeable and experienced. I couldnt be more pleased! I would highly recommend Amanda for all your color and extensions needs.

    Ive been trying to grow my hair for many, many years. I was looking for a miracle through expensive pills, potions, lotions, infrared brushes and combs and none of it worked for me. After more than 2 decades I finally found my miracle! AMANDA was my miracle worker. I love my hair!!! It matches my natural curl and texture perfectly and the color looks just my hair identically.Thank you Amanda I cant tell you how much I appreciate you. Youre amazing.

    I recently had the pleasure of getting my hair done by Amanda, and I couldnt be happier with the results! They did an incredible job with my blonding and extensions. My hair looks so natural and vibrant, and the extensions blend seamlessly. The whole experience was fantastic, from the warm and welcoming atmosphere to the meticulous attention to detail. Amanda listened to exactly what I wanted and delivered beyond my expectations. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch hair services. Thank you for making me feel so confident and beautiful!

    My experience was so uplifting and life changing. I had no reference just went with what I looked up on line I should start by saying what brought me here.I first heard about tapein extension I wore them for 5 years finally had enough of the aggravation of them coming out every wash not including the damage it done to my hair and the work with ordering and finding good hair plus color matching etc. so that’s what brought me to look on line and find a different way and thank heavens I did. What to talk about rolling out the red carpet Amanda Joy did just that but the best part is how she explained and taught me how to make them last take care of them cause let’s be honest if you ever have done extensions the hair is not cheap!! But I’m reality you don’t want cheap hair basically you get what you pay for. I can’t say enough good stuff from the consultation all the way to how quick her process is she did not rush but gets the job done and not to mention color matched perfect. I am just so think full to have met a amazing hairdresser/friend for life thank you again for giving me my confidence back.

  • Review 8 (2022-11-17 - Rating: 5)

    My absolute favorite hair stylist. She manages to nail all of my hair color requests. Shes a true professional & very courteous. Love the salon vibes in the personal suite. Im OCD so I love that shes a perfectionist.

    Amanda was amazing. She gave me a blonde I’ve never had before. Highly recommend!!

  • Review 10 (2024-01-11 - Rating: 5)

    Wow, just wow. I am absolutely in LOVE with my hair!! Amanda does an amazing job and she truly has a talent like I’ve never seen before! she’s very quick but also makes sure that you’re okay with it every step of the way! She has a presence where it’s easy to open up with her about anything that’s bothering you! And she is an amazing listener and an even better hair stylist! This place is worth EVERY penny. If you’re looking for hair extensions or even just color this is the perfect place to go to!!

  • Review 11 (2024-02-16 - Rating: 5)

    I’m so happy to have found Amanda! She is very personable, professional & she knows what she’s doing. She is a stylist who has a passion for what they do instead of trying to make a quick buck. I’ve been getting sew-in extensions for years now, but she has by far done the best. Not only does she know many different methods, but she uses what works best for specific hair types, instead of ā€œone fits allā€ approach. I got a lightening service done with her as well, which was also the first time it didn’t compromise my hair. I will definitely be a regular of hers, it’s hard to find stylists knowledgeable & passionate. Throughout the years I’ve had hair disasters & I’ve had good experiences, but never someone who truly specializes in extensions/color like her. Thank you AmandašŸ’•

    I recently had the pleasure of experiencing Amandas exceptional skills for a hair coloring and haircut session, and the results were great! Amandas expertise in understanding what I wanted were a hit. She listens to you and suggest options for a great result! - I left the salon feeling like a brand-new person thanks to Amandas remarkable talent and dedication.If you are looking for a transformative hair experience, I highly recommend booking an appointment with Amanda. You wont be disappointed! - Thanks Amanda!

  • Review 13 (2024-03-07 - Rating: 5)

    Amanda was absolutely amazing. I’m so blessed to have been able to met someone who was able to do exactly what I wanted and make the whole experience enjoyable and knowledgeable. It’s hard finding someone you can trust and even when I asked a ton of questions she was sweet at answering them and dealing with me. Also I had my son with me and she was so sweet to him. Highly recommend her!! She definitely won’t disappoint you. As soon as I left Ireceived 3 compliments and she made sure I was completely happy🩷

  • Review 14 (2023-12-08 - Rating: 5)

    First time getting sewed in hair extensions and she was amazing! She is amazing at what she does and is very passionate! So thankful I have found someone like her!

  • Review 15 (2025-02-06 - Rating: 5)

    Amanda is amazing!!!! She color matches your extensions perfectly and does such meticulous work!

  • Review 16 (2023-11-16 - Rating: 5)

    I waited for over a month to write this review because I wanted to see how my extensions and color would hold up over time. I’m very pleased to announce that my hair looks as pretty today as it did when Amanda did her magic (it’s growing out of course, but not falling out). Amanda was the second stylist I visited for extensions and boy did she have a mess to fix! My hair was actually falling out in chunks and matted, and I couldn’t ever wear it down or the extension line would be too obvious.I was so self-conscious and disappointed when I walked into Amanda’s salon. But I walked out smiling and held my head high, letting my pretty, long extensions fall down my back! They look so natural. Sounds so silly, but it’s given me a bit more confidence.My next appointment is coming up and I’m looking forward to seeing what Amanda is going to do this time!! She’s amazing!!!Update to follow. šŸ˜‰

  • Review 17 (2023-09-18 - Rating: 5)

    Amanda is the best. She did a great job on my hair! Not to mention that she went out of her way to work around my schedule. She is very responsive to messages, on time for appointments, and makes you feel so welcome!

  • Review 18 (2022-04-28 - Rating: 5)

    I came to Amanda for a consultation and immediately felt comfortable with her. She really cares about her clients. 1 week after my consultation I had my extensions put in. I left feeling amazing. About a week later I called Amanda because I just really didn’t like what I had chosen. She was absolutely understanding and I went back in and we tried something different. She really wants to make sure your happy and wants to make sure you leave her salon feeling wonderful. I had an appointment with her today. My hair looks amazing. I would and have recommend Amanda to anyone who asks.

  • Review 19 (2023-10-14 - Rating: 5)

    It is always a pleasurable & relaxing experience visiting Amanda for hair services. I recently had a full head of highlights set. I like to return for style and blowout before nice functions or photo shoots. My children also see Amanda for hair cut services. We highly recommend Hair Color & Extensions by Amanda Joy!

  • Review 20 (2023-06-16 - Rating: 5)

    Amanda is literally a hair god! I came in to her in tears because I had hair down to my butt that a different hair stylist had butchers to my shoulders. Amanda worked her magic with hair extensions and gave me my confidence back. It has now been 5 months since then, she has done all of my hair extensions maintenance and hair loss has not been a problem. She is extremely personable, cares immensely about her clients and literally has the hands of a magician. I am so thankful I found her! You seriously cannot go wrong trusting her with your hair.

  • Review 21 (2024-03-06 - Rating: 5)

    Amanda Joy is very talented and wonderful!! I wanted all my greys covered and she suggested dyeing it brown and using blonde foils!! It came out beautiful!! Also she gave me a great haircut. She is the only person that cut around the ears the way I like!! Thank you Amanda Joy!! I will be back!!

  • Review 22 (2022-07-24 - Rating: 5)

    Amanda is fabulous!!! Her salon has a soothing down home feel. I had suffer hair loss due to medical conditions, but she knew exactly how to make me feel whole again. I would not trust my hair to anyone else. If you want your hair done right - you have to go see Amanda. She is a beautiful soul that loves her clients.

  • Review 23 (2024-05-21 - Rating: 5)

    Amanda worked many hours on my hair, removing years of built up color that had left my hair extremely dark. I walked out of there with beautiful hair and loving my new look!!!

  • Review 24 (2023-08-17 - Rating: 5)

    Amanda is ABSOLUTELY amazing 🤩She literally saved my hair. It was over processed & my extensions were a MESS!!My daughters first reply was… ā€œfinally, my Mom is backā€¦ā€ I LOVE my hair ~ the color + extensions are perfect. She is the ā€œ Hair Whispererā€ 10/10

  • Review 25 (2022-07-19 - Rating: 5)

    Amanda is amazing! I have truly loved getting to work with her and get to know her. She does great work! Never any issues with hair, always looks beautiful! Highly recommend!

  • Review 26 (2022-02-27 - Rating: 5)

    If I could give a 10 star rating, I would! Amanda is extremely professional. She took me in last minute for a color & cut before my big event. Let me tell you; she told me exactly what she was doing to my hair, (step by step) making me feel very comfortable. She did exactly what I asked for, from the color to the cut. Its hard to find a new hairdresser after having the same one for 10 years. She is now my go to girl! She is brilliant, she has a wealth of knowledge in this ever changing industry, keeping up with the latest trends. I couldnt be more happy to find my new hairdresser. Thank you Amanda!

  • Review 27 (2023-01-16 - Rating: 5)

    It was amazing. The color is perfect. The customer service was top notch. Amanda is absolutely great. Will definite recommend her to my friends !

    I came to Amanda for new hair extensions and left with hair more beautiful than I could have imagined! She explained proper care of hair extensions and uses only the best products. She is professional and extremely knowledgeable about hair extensions, hair color and blending. Amanda is truly a master of her craft.

  • Review 29 (2022-06-24 - Rating: 5)

    If you’re looking for a hairdresser who really cares about your hair, then Amanda is the professional you need to call. With her expert knowledge and state-of-the-art training, she has transformed my hair into healthy, shiny and beautifully colored hair. If you want the ā€˜real deal’ in a hair stylist Amanda is your girl. It’ll be the best call you make.

  • Review 30 (2022-04-27 - Rating: 5)

    She is the kindest person to work with and very gentle. I loved my experience there! She is respectful of all her clients, never a let down to see her. I couldn’t think of any other person I’d go to after I’ve met with her. Amanda’s professionalism is top tier, and getting to know her over time is even better. If you are looking for someone that is talented and joyful to go to this is the person!!!

  • Review 31 (2022-06-16 - Rating: 5)

    I found Amanda Joy very personable, she understood what I wanted with my hair. She also produced that exact beautiful color. My hair feels amazing and I get compliments on how beautiful it is. Thank you Amanda Joy!!!

  • Review 33 (2023-03-24 - Rating: 5)

    Love love love amanda! i came to her with very short and damaged hair but she fixed it all up! i drive 2 hours to have her put in my extensions! highly recommend

  • Review 34 (2022-04-28 - Rating: 5)

    Ive been going to Amanda for years and refuse to let anyone else touch my hair. She is well educated and takes care of her clients. She wont do anything to damage my hair. I kove how she goes above and beyond. Shes passionate and it shows.

  • Review 35 (2020-01-25 - Rating: 5)

    I have thin, fine hair and was looking for a product that would not damage my hair (the prior hairdresser took her liberty of doing this for me) nor break it off like beaded extensions.I was searching the HaloCouture website where Amandas Hair Loft and Boutique, LLC as the distributor. So I called and made an appointment. Upon arriving to my appointment, it was very apparent that Amanda loves what she does. She took the time to show me the product she uses her self, so I was able to touch the hair and try it on, and just like that it was time to order.Today was the day, my appointment! I arrived with a full spectrum of excitement and to my surprise Amanda met me with almost as much excitement. As I said it is apparent she loves what she does and it shows, but not in a disingenuous way. She took her time to show me how to adjust, wear and style the hair as well as, educated me on how to properly care for my own hair as well as the HaloCouture products.It is very hard to find good, honest, caring people that have a passion and a love for what they do, but I am happy to tell you they do exist and you can find her at Amandas Hair Loft & Boutique, LLC.

    Amanda is amazing! Not many people these days take such pride and care in their work anymore but Amanda does. She has a true passion for hair and it shows in her work!

  • Review 37 (2020-06-09 - Rating: 5)

    Hey yall let me tell you something about this place and Amanda.. Im the type of person who really dont like the hustle of big salons..her boutique is is like being at your girlfriends house.. you get the one one experience with Amanda ..I had alot of worries as i have had a horrible experience with past extentions. Well let me tell you what .. not only did she put my mind to ease very quickly with her knowledge of extentions but he also fixed my hair color that was very brassy. I now have the most beautiful locks and a color to die for.. i highly recommend Amanda for all your hair care and needs.

  • Review 42 (2022-09-08 - Rating: 5)

    So I havent been in the habit of writing many reviews lately. But due to recent events I absolutely have to give credit to this amazing woman who LITERALLY saved my hair from irreparable damage due to my own stupidity . Or at the very least, she saved me from having to give a presentation in front of brutally honest elementary school students while looking like a cross between a well-worn troll doll and Beaker from the Muppets.It all started one nice quiet Sunday morning.I happened to wake up very early. The kids were still in bed. Husband was sleeping. So rather than have a nice cup of tea and relax on the lanai like any sane, mentally stable woman might do, a brilliant idea popped into my head like a florescent lightbulb from the devil.Hey! Maybe now is good time to try to give myself a bayolage!! I mean, I did watch 3 YouTube videos. I think that makes me an expert by now, right? Definitely.About 30 minutes in, however, I realized something was going horribly wrong..The steel/smokey/grey color was turning blue.The mocha color was somehow the color of a very old copper penny.The lightened areas I wanted white were turning bright orange.And as I watched my previously ashy blond locks transform into whatever hellish mane I had apparently cursed them to be, my pride turned into humility.I quickly rinsed my hair, praying the whole time that Jesus would make this right somehow. Although I wouldnt blame him if He was just shaking His head at the 883th ridiculous mess I had managed to make for myself instead.I had to get the colors out.So I grabbed more bleach lightening....Yes, you read that right.I decided to bleach out the boxed color and hope this worked.As you probably can guess... not a great idea. But hey, I was on a roll. And about to make mess number 834!The bleach turned the blue an even brighter blueish aqua. It turned the mocha PINK, and the rest was a horrible shade of neon orange.Around this time, my husband had woken up and had come to check on me, having no idea what disastrous situation he was about to walk into. I will never forget the look on his face as long as I live, but the psychological damage he suffered was likely equivalent to crime scene investigators who were still unseasoned.The next morning I started researching colorists in the area to find someone, ANYONE, who would answer at 8am on a Labor Day. To my surprise, the first one I called, Amanda Joy, immediately called me back. I explained the situation. This amazing woman who didnt even KNOW me came straight from camping to help save my hair. She wasnt even supposed to be working that day.Amanda has her own little studio suite. When you walk in, you dont have to worry about her being distracted or trying to multitask with other clients. She stays right there with you, listens to what you want done and goes above and beyond to treat you like an exclusive VIP!She now has my undying gratitude and I would literally jump in front of a speeding locomotive for her after what she did for me, putting in five excruciating hours on a holiday to repair my self inflicted catastrophe, so that not only would I get to keep my hair, but I walked out with a great color blend of high and low lights that looks incredibly natural.As you may have seen, however, this super talented lady has one bad review to lower her flawless 5 star rating. Im hoping that my fellow googlers had the same common sense I did and can see its a fake. The picture of the person in the chair is not even in Amandas salon! The color of the walls and size of the room is clearly from a different place.I know jealousy can make people do dumb things, but this is incredibly petty. If youre a salon that feels one woman with limited clientele is competition for you, all I can say is you need to get better at your career. And if a manic, flustered mom who managed to turn her hair into something out of a Star Trek alien encounter episode is calling you dumb, maybe its also time to do a little soul searching to see where your life went wrong.

  • Review 43 (2020-01-10 - Rating: 5)

    I wouldnt go anywhere else. Amandas feels like home. Cozy atmosphere. She is not only your well experienced stylist, she is an awesome friend. You have to go and see her.
