About

Amanda Colors is run by hair colorist Amanda from a space inside Salon Donatella in Cranston. The salon is in a beige house across from Dunkin', and clients enter through the red door at the back rather than the door on Park Avenue.

Services are booked online through the salon's booking page, and gift cards can be bought on the website. In-person consultations are offered for people looking for a new stylist. The $50 consultation deposit is non-refundable and is applied toward the service that is booked.

Color work covers balayage in face frame, half head and full head sizes, foil highlights and lowlights, root lightening and retouching, all-over single-process color, and a two-step double process that lightens first and then adds a vivid color. Cuts and blowouts can stand alone or be paired with color, and smoothing treatments and updos round out the menu, including bridal trials and day-of styling.

Prices are listed as starting points and can change, since final pricing depends on hair density, length and current color. Hours run Tuesday through Saturday, with later evenings on Wednesday and Thursday. The salon is closed on Sunday and Monday.

Color and smoothing work use an ammonia-free demi-permanent line and a silicone-free smoothing treatment, and pricing is adjusted to the hair being worked on.
