Amy Morgan

Certified in color, cutting, and balayage, Amy’s focus is on enhancing and contouring her client’s natural beauty as well as creating modern, maintainable styles that work with the hair instead of against it. She is so excited to have her career come full circle; she trained at the original Azur next to Jim Bagley, the owner of Linear Salon!

Gillian Sobolic

Mindful of skin tone, bone structure, lifestyle and personal style, she draws on her Southern Californian upbringing as inspiration to create beautiful, effortless hair color and trend cuts.
