    I was blown away at Sam’s expertise. The confidence you feel when he asks questions feels your hair and talks through his process is so amazing. He will not let you walk out the doors without making sure you are satisfied. I’m a customer for ever. ❤️

    My first time going. I needed a new hair style and Sam absolutely fixed me! Not only was my hair transformed but he gave me such a comfortable environment. Sam helped me with products and styling too. He listened to my needs and spent time showing me things. He helped my spirit inside and out! Loved the experience, spent money on products because I want to keep my hair up, but it was my choice. He was so kind.

    Sam picked me up at the last min for a whole head of highlights on his day off and ABSOLUTELY KILLED IT! I love my hair so much and truly felt like I had met a kindred spirit in him! He is my new bestie and the only one I will let touch my hair from now on!!! He did full color, haircut, blow out, and style AND did my eyebrow waxing for free! Love this establishment!!!
