Amanda Abizaid
SENIOR Hairstylist/Colorist
“I knew I was an artist/painter and quickly found out how I could move my art from painting on canvas to painting on hair and faces. My school had a great opportunity for me to begin working with Brocato International while receiving my cosmetology hours to get my license. It was very inspiring to work with professionals in the industry and have an opportunity to work with a brand-new product company from the ground up so that got me excited from the start.” Amanda Abizaid
