Behind the chair

Amanda trained as a cosmetologist in Ohio and worked behind the chair before opening her own salon, which she owned and ran for seven years. She hired, rented booths, bought the insurance, sat through the inspections and wrote the checks.

She then joined the Ohio State Cosmetology and Barber Board as an inspector and spent fourteen years inspecting salons, barbershops, schools and tanning facilities across southern Ohio.

About Amanda and Buckeye Beauty & Barber

What does a state board inspector look for first?

In Amanda Hill’s experience as a 14-year Board inspector: a current license for everyone working, disinfectant that is EPA-registered and mixed to label strength, and clean implements stored apart from used ones. Most violations she wrote were easy fixes nobody had explained to the cosmetologist.
