Amanda Stokes, owner and stylist at HairapyAmanda
Her Story

The Heart Behind Hairapy

Hairapy was born from a simple belief: great hair is about more than a color or a cut — it's about how you feel when you look in the mirror. For Amanda Stokes, the chair has always been a place of transformation, confidence and connection.

After years of honing her craft behind the chair, Amanda opened Hairapy in Bryson City to create the kind of salon she always wished existed — luxurious yet warm, polished yet personal. Today, clients travel from across Western North Carolina for her signature lived-in color and her genuine, listening-first approach.
