Amber Hope Carpenter
she/her

Originally from Virginia, Amber now proudly calls Jacksonville home—and she’s the heart behind Steele Hair Gallery. With over two decades in the industry, she’s known for her lived-in blondes, seamless extensions, and natural transformations that leave clients feeling confident, radiant, and fully themselves. Amber has had the opportunity to travel across the U.S., Canada, and Europe to educate and train stylists on the latest trends and techniques. Her work has been featured in top industry magazines such as Modern Salon, American Salon, Beauty Launchpad, The Colorist, and more. Lately, she's spending a lot more time home in Jax where she’s built a salon in which expertise meets comfort—and where every appointment feels like catching up with an old friend.

Her true passion lies in helping clients discover the version of themselves that’s always been there—just waiting for the right color or extension install to bring it to life. When working with guests, she focuses on customizing a look that not only enhances her client's features but keeps their lifestyle in mind too.

When she’s not behind the chair, Amber is likely spending time with her family, experimenting in the kitchen, trying out a new restaurant, crafting, or planning her next big travel adventure.
