Amber Cullum
Cosmetologist/Salon Owner
Welcome to Lavish Salon! I am a wife and mother to 3 beautiful children, with over 27 years of experience in the beauty industry.
I've always had a strong focus on staying updated through continuing my education in advanced cutting and color techniques. This has led me to become a Certified Educator for Scruples Professional Hair Color, traveling to teach other hair professionals in the industry.
I am certified in Brazilian Blowouts and a Master certified Extensions Specialist, including hand-tied wefts, keratin fusion, tape-in's and i-tip beaded methods. Also attending hands-on workshops with top artists from around the world - I am a hair education junkie!
I follow trends while still maintaining the classic fundamentals, since precision and balance are key factors in achieving excellent hair color and cuts. My mission is to study my craft with continuous passion and education. Giving a thorough consultation is essential for a clear and concise plan. I aim to have an open ear and eye to ensure the best service possible, helping my clients look and feel their best!

I have been a hairstylist for over 18 years and it remains my passion to this day. As a color specialist, I enjoy color transformations the most. My main goal is always to maintain the integrity and health of my client’s hair, regardless of density or texture. I consistently take courses in cutting, coloring, and extensions to master the new techniques and services my clients desire. Some of my favorites include the Sassoon Academy San Francisco, and the Wella World Studio in NYC.

I am a licensed cosmetologist who specializes in blondes, brondes, and lived in colors. Along with colors, I also love hair cutting; whether it is fine hair, curly hair, or layered haircuts. My number one goal is and will always be the health of your hair.
REF is the line of color and product that I use. It is based out of Stockholm Sweden where the standards of quality are higher. They focus on the health of the hair using only the highest quality of ingredients like quinoa strengthening protein and aloe. All the ingredients in the product line are organic, cruelty free, sulfate free, UV protectant, and vegan!
I have been doing hair now for 6 years and it is an absolute dream! I pride myself in understanding that no two people are the same but that I can, to the best of my ability, make two people feel the same beauty.
