Stefanie Isaacs
Amavi Extensions + Color Studio
Owner, Extensionist + Colorist
I have been in the Industry for over 20 years. I knew from the beginning that this industry was always changing, so education was always a must for me to stay on top of trends and techniques to be able to deliver behind the chair. I spend a lot of my free time learning, researching, taking classes so I can do just that.
I specialize in all things hair extensions! I have invested a lot into learning basic methods, as well as advanced education in hair extensions as new methods are introduced. Knowing the how's and why's are extremely important when going into an install.

You’ll find me located in a salon suite inside of Culture Collective. I have been in the business for 9 years and started my journey at the Aveda institute. I then went on to apprentice at a local salon and that’s where I perfected my craft and grew to love blondes and everything to do with color and extensions.
I’ve taken many classes specializing in balayage and blonding. Then went on to be certified in Bellami Hair Extensions and continue to learn new methods and stay up to date. Looking for a major transformation? I am your girl!
My number one priority will always be to give you the best experience possible. I strive to make you feel more confident and give you the hair you’ve always wanted. So come have a glass of wine and tell me about your day and relax. 💕
