About Me

My name is Amber. I have the luxury of working along side my best friend Lauren.

We started Skylight Salon McKinney in August of 2015 and Skylight Salon Allen in February of 2017.  We both worked under a talented stylist for 3 years and then shared a small room within a suite for the following 3 years. Both of these situations served their purpose and at the time were exactly what we needed. After deciding that we wanted something more, the ideas began pouring in.

What we created is an open concept eco-chic salon in the Downtown Areas. We wanted a boutique salon feel where stylists could inspire each other but were still allowed to book their own appointments & keep all of their income.

By marrying these two ideas together we have created a unique space, there is no competition. Skylight simply provides an umbrella of like-minded people performing creative hair services.

If you have any questions or would like to join our team, please contact us.

Now that you know where I work let me tell you a little about myself:

During the day I love to be behind the chair, practicing trends, and making people feel good. My favorite part of each service is — styling the hair. I love to see the color and cut come together for a beautiful wear-able finish.

At night I have a strange love with organization and numbers. There is nothing more satisfying than sitting down at my computer with a cup of coffee and looking over receipts and my bank account. Yes, I am crazy.

Whether you are looking for techniques to suggest to your stylist, inspiration , or products for your hair type, I am here for you. I’d love to answer your questions and hear your feedback.

Occasionally, I will open my front door and talk about my family, but primarily I will be focusing on all things hair!

 

#Blessed

Tonight we were talking about how people throw around the word #blessed and how it is used in the bible.

Then we went on to talk about how each of us feel blessed and how we’ve used it for God’s glory.

I’d like take a second [so just sit right there. I’ll tell you how I became a Prince in the town of BelAir 😉 ] to talk about how thankful I am for my many blessings.

One of the things that I am very thankful for is my career. With each day behind the chair my goal is to bless my clients not just in the obvious way, making them look good, but blessing them and making them feel God’s love through me. I was talking to our new ‘Sky Girl,’ that’s what I like to call her, and I told her “love your clients and the money will come.”

Which leads me a little deeper into my thankfulness.

I couldn’t have began my career in the way I desired without David’s help. He blessed me by allowing me the freedom to work into my career, when I was ready. He didn’t rush me or tell me what I needed to do to make it work. God blessed our marriage by allowing us to see how we could sacrifice in some places to live how we needed to. I am thankful I was able to stay home part time and work part time. David gave up his weekends to watch the kids while I worked. Because of the pace which my career took off it allowed me to visualize where I wanted to be as a stylist; to take my time with each client and to really love them.

In all of this I do feel blessed, not just thankful. Because of all the previously mentioned things I feel God is allowing me to use all of this to continue blessing others. By taking the time to engage with my clients I am able to love them and care about them. I am able to bless my partner in Skylight with my organizational and business skills where she blesses me with her creativity, strong confident personality, the ability to know facts about everything, and her networking skills. Because Lauren and I are blessed we are able to further #bless a new stylist by showing/guiding her so she can bless her clients and run her own business.

Maybe I missed the mark on throwing the word blessed around. It’s just that I do feel blessed with all that encompasses my career. I can’t even believe that for my job I get to talk to and encourage other women all day. I am given the opportunity multiple times a day to show God’s love to many different people. I just pray that I do bless my clients every time they are in my chair. That they feel loved, cared for, prayed for, relaxed, beautiful, and on and on and on.

Anyway, It feels good to count my blessings.
