​Hi there!

​

I'm Amber Blair, a Florida native who traded sunshine for the Smoky Mountains back in 2007, and now proudly call Maryville, Tennessee home. As a Christian, wife, and mom to a beautiful daughter (plus two adorable fur babies and a slightly less cuddly snake!), family is everything to me.

 

My journey to the beauty industry was a bit of a detour–after a full dental career, I took a leap of faith at 30 and haven't looked back! This East Tennessee girl dove headfirst into the world of aesthetics, graduating from the Aveda Institute of Knoxville and then opening my own spa & salon in Maryville.

 

My passion for sharing knowledge led me to become a full-time educator at a local beauty school, which sparked the dream of Center Stage Beauty Academy. With over 8 years of experience as a Licensed Aesthetician, Licensed Educator, Certified Lash Artist, and Professional Certified Dermaplaning Trainer, I'm thrilled to have brought that dream to life.

 

Center Stage Beauty Academy opened its doors in downtown Maryville in June 2021 and has been growing ever since! It's a premier aesthetics academy built on the foundation of quality education, thanks to the amazing team of experienced professionals I'm so lucky to work alongside. I'm passionate about fostering innovation and helping students thrive, and I'm so excited to see what the future holds for every student here at Center Stage!​​​​​​​​​
