The Wella Professionals team of Brand Ambassadors offer a great deal of inspiration to stylists and clients each and every day by highlighting new trends, techniques, diving into in-depth education and expert product knowledge. The current team Briana Cisneros, Ryan Weeden, Zach Mesquit and Patricia Nikole are welcoming a new member to their ranks — Amy McManus (aka @camouflageandbalayage)!
Wella Professionals has been an industry leader in hair color for over 130 years and is excited to announce the addition of balayage expert, stylist, educator and salon owner Amy McManus to the Wella Professionals Brand Ambassador team. With 30 years of experience in this beloved industry, Amy brings her unique vision for color with an emphasis on bespoke balayage. “As an industry leader and innovator, it’s a blessing in my career to get the chance to work with Wella Professionals artists, educators and industry professionals that inspire me,” said Amy.
Carole Protat, Senior Director Education said, “We’re delighted to welcome another powerful and dynamic female artist and industry leader to our impressive roster of brand ambassadors. Amy is a perfect fit for our Wella family, she brings a combination of industry experience, fresh perspective, and love for education to our team. We look forward to collaborating with Amy and continuing to elevate the craft together!”
Amy loves the freeform nature that color, especially balayage, affords her. After many years in the industry, it was this technique that really reignited her passion for hair. As a balayage specialist, Amy naturally gravitates towards Wella Professionals Blonder and Freelights to achieve the dimensional results she’s looking for. “The consistency of both lighteners makes my application effortless on my clients,” adds Amy.
In addition to hair, she attributes much of her success in her career and in education to her utilization of social media. She began posting on the platforms she used most for education and inspiration — YouTube and Instagram. She shared her experience of the do’s and don’ts of balayage socially and has been growing her 319K, and counting, followers.
“Learning a new line is a spectacular way to help yourself grow as an artist and take your skills to the next level. I’m so excited to learn all that Wella Professionals brings to the industry and use it to elevate my skill set. From Koleston Perfect and Illumina to Color Touch and wide array of lighteners and toners, the brand has so many gorgeous shades to choose from and customize my clients’ color.”
