RAFAEL NIEBLA
Rafael graduated from Toni & Guy Academy in 2009. He has wanted to do hair for as long as he can remember. He is a lover of all things hair-from “Big hair don’t care” to classic men’s barbering-he does it all. He grew up in Prescott, Arizona in a humble hispanic family. His positive energy touches everyone around him every day. You can’t help but smile when you sit in his chair and you’ll be grinning from ear to ear when you leave with a rockin’ blow out and perfectly placed highlights.
AMBER SABAN
Like many stylists, one of the reasons Amber entered the industry was that she wanted to work in a field that she loved. She longed to go to work every day and not feel like she was ‘going to work’. Her biggest reward is knowing that, each and every day, she changes people’s lives. Whether it is through a full color and cut service or just a simple blowdry, making someone feel better about themselves when they leave the chair then they did when they first sat down is her greatest reward. Amber is the second of four girls in her family. Her sisters are not only her best friends, but the canvases on which she has honed her skills and experimented with new cut & color combinations. Amber is an incredibly artistic soul who uses her creative mind to formulate color combinations and haircut shapes that are out of the ordinary, but still custom-made for each individual in her chair.
