Hiya I’m Amanda, a holistic stylist, specializing in curly hair & vibrant color palettes. Born in NYC, raised in northern NJ and having come of age in Connecticut, I’ve got roots all over the tri-state area. I graduated from Paul Mitchell The School of North Haven in 2009 and have spent the better part of the past decade building a foundation in the New Haven & forming a name [@TheCurlorista] for myself throughout the region. Always looking to dig deeper into anything I focus on, I treat my craft as a hairstylist as a type of healing art form – a perspective which, in 2017, lead me to initiate activation of The Chrysalis, a private salon for holistic beauty and personal transformation. My style, which has been coined “sophisticated” & ”soulful” by some of my clients, is informed by my deep appreciation for art of all forms, passion for consistently enhancing technique through continuing education, and rich tapestry of experiences from years of travel on the music festival circuit. My signature crafted-color, coils & coifs have graced crowns of artists and executives alike, from Maine to Colorado, even all the way to Costa Rica! After years of working in other salons and freelancing abroad, I’m finally creating the ideal atmosphere for my unique guests & our endeavors into self-expression!
