Amy
Hi! I’m Amy, and I’ve been with Esbi International Salon for a little over two years—starting as an intern and growing into my role as a Jr. Stylist. It’s been such a rewarding journey!
What drew me to the beauty industry is how it’s always evolving—just like we are. I’m passionate about learning, growing, and staying inspired through ongoing education. I’ll admit, I’m a bit of a perfectionist—so you can count on me to give your hair the attention and detail it deserves. My goal? That you look and feel your absolute best when you leave my chair.
Lately, I’ve been loving the BIG transformation days—from dramatic color shifts and major cuts to adding length with extensions. Those “wow” moments are what I live for!
No matter your vision, I can’t wait to meet you and create something uniquely tailored to you.
