Amantha Hood
Director of Champions Beauty Institute
In 2017 I earned my B.A. in Marketing Communications from Linfield University, shortly after I obtained my Esthetician's License. I started my business in 2019, lashing in my living room, since than I've expanded Glam Lab PDX into a 1,500-square-foot salon located on North Lombard.
I’ve trained nearly 200 students in lash extension services, and am passionate being a mentor to women studying to earn their esthetician licenses and launching their beauty businesses.
My mission in directing Champions Beauty Institute is to cultivate a diverse and inclusive learning environment dedicated to advancing skincare education with intentional learning of melanin-rich skin, while also championing community empowerment and professional excellence.
I am passionate about empowering entrepreneurs and creating a supportive, inclusive space where professional growth and family life can seamlessly coexist.
