While many are still struggling with their quarantine haircuts and waiting for barbershops and salons to eventually reopen, Bachelor alum Amanda Stanton proved she’s willing to go the extra mile to keep up her look!
The starlet is facing major backlash after revealing she took a road trip from California to Arizona with her kids for an appointment with her stylist, but as it turns out, she doesn’t give a f**k what angry fans have to say about it!

Stanton revealed the deetz of her interstate travels on Monday via her Instagram Story, while sharing a sultry snap of her new ‘do. She began:
“Drove very very far to get my hair done & may have peed on the side of a dirt road because I’m scared to use public restrooms. But it was worth it.”
Amanda continued, adding she felt “like a new person” and has “never been so early to a hair appointment in my life,” before sharing a set of glam shots featuring her 8-year-old daughter, Kinsley. Ch-ch-check out the new look (below):
It wasn’t long before fans had something to say about her making the trip while CA remains under safer-at-home orders. However, the three-time reality TV starlet defended her decision to travel out of state:
“I’ve been very strict with staying home since 3/14. I haven’t even gone to the grocery store.”
Stanton explained her logic and timing behind the risky excursion:
“I hadn’t had my hair done since January and my hairstylist who I’ve been doing to for years JUST opened her salon. I thought I’d rather when she JUST opened than later when more people had been there.”
Here’s a look at her followers trying to keep up with the math:
The momma of two said she took some precaution and got tested for COVID-19 before leaving, noting her results were negative. She and her children also have plans to head home and “quarantine again before we see family or anyone,” which is definitely a good idea! Amanda continued her defense:
“Some might think this is going to great lengths to get my hair done but honestly, I have nothing else to do and isolating for a couple weeks when I get home was something I was willing to do. To each their own! I’m confident that I’ve been making responsible choices during this time and am proud of myself!”
The Bachelor in Paradise alum said she’s been “really good” about doing her part throughout the pandemic and addressed those who are pissed about her sharing the trip on social media:
“[I] posted because I really don’t think I have anything to hide. I choose to be honest with you guys when I could choose not to be. I’ve seen so many people traveling by plane, hanging out in groups etc and doing much worse and not receiving ANY hate.”
Well, she’s got a point there about others breaking the rules, but we’re not so sure about “not receiving any hate” for it. Amanda, for her part, seems like she’s tired of the backlash since she turned off the comments on her post!
Who would’ve guessed that getting your hair done would be such a hot button issue amid the coronavirus pandemic? With some prioritizing their “right” to get glammed up over following guidelines and saving lives?? Crazy times we’re living in, Perezcious readers!
Do U think Amanda did anything wrong here? Let us know (below) in the comments.
