with Mandy Hunter Hair

Mandy Hunter | Redken Artist & Educator

With nearly two decades behind the chair, Mandy Hunter is a passionate hairstylist, educator, mentor, and lifelong student of the beauty industry. As a Redken Artist and Educator with over 18 years of experience, Mandy is known for combining real-world salon expertise with approachable, practical education that empowers stylists to immediately elevate their craft, confidence, and business.

Throughout her career, Mandy has specialized in color, blonding, curls, extensions, corrective work, bridal styling, and consultation-based guest experiences. Her education style is built on the belief that understanding the why behind every service is just as important as mastering the how.

Mandy's journey with Redken began with a deep appreciation for the brand's commitment to science, innovation, and professional education. While Redken remains her exclusive color and retail partner, Mandy's classes are never limited to product knowledge alone. Her goal is to help stylists develop transferable skills, stronger consultation techniques, a deeper understanding of hair chemistry, and the confidence to succeed regardless of the products they choose to work with throughout their careers.

Known for her relatable teaching style, Mandy creates an engaging learning environment where stylists feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and expanding their understanding. Whether she is teaching foundational concepts to new stylists or advanced techniques to seasoned professionals, her focus remains the same: helping others grow behind the chair while building careers they love.

As an educator, Mandy believes that technical excellence and genuine connection go hand in hand. Her classes are designed to inspire, challenge, and equip stylists with practical tools they can immediately implement in the salon.

reNew (2-Day)

For the newly graduated hairstylist. Sometimes it can feel overwhelming to know where to even begin when you hit the floor in a salon. The weight of having to build a clientele from the ground up seems heavy and then add-in the stress of clients sitting in your chair asking for services that you may feel intimidated to approach. This is where reNew gives you in depth coaching and education on not only the work you do behind the chair, but how to fill that chair with services you know you can build on.

reFine (2-Day)

It's been years and some bad habits have entered the chat. You've been on autopilot and booking yourself so solid that you're cutting corner and you know it, the client knows it and feeling that you're sending subpar work out the door keeps you up at night. You're not a bad hairstylist, you're in survival mode. This class delivers a checklist and roadmap to help you retain the clientele that drives you to WANT to be more reFined. I help you sort out where things went off the tracks and why.

reCharge (1 Day)

THIS IS ABOUT YOU!

We are constantly chasing the classes that teach us a technique, teach us about our business or where to recoup the lost dollars...but what about reCharging our Body and Mind?

As a Certified Life Coach Practitioner and Yoga Instructor, I also work with a lot of industry professionals on how to strike a balance... a work and life balance. And no, responding to your friends text while you take your first pee break of the day between clients does not count as work-life balance.
