sam is the best!! i have been going to him for years and he has never let me down. all my previous hair stylists couldn't really give me the look i was going for but it's like sam can read my mind. i have never had second thoughts about a cut he has given me. he is funny and easy to talk to, and definitely knows what he's doing. he also does more alternative/personalized cuts which i really appreciate since it's glendale and i don't want to drive down to DTLA for a niche, pricey hair stylist. i highly highly recommend sam! read more

Sam Pierre is truly the best hairstylist I've ever worked with. His expertise and knowledge are on another level ! he really understands hair, from technique to long-term hair health. What I appreciate most is that he listens. He takes the time to understand exactly what you want and makes sure you leave with the results you envisioned (or even better!). Beyond his talent, his character speaks for itself. He's honest, professional, and genuinely cares about his clients. He will always guide you toward what's best for your hair without overcharging or pushing unnecessary services. You feel taken care of, not upsold. If you want beautiful results and a stylist you can truly trust, Sam Pierre is the one. Highly recommend! ‍ read more

Sam Pierre Studio - Hair Salons Near Me - Montrose, California

I happened on this salon over 3 years ago and it was the best happy accident. Sam is so professional and caring to each client that walks in the door. I always feel so comfortable that I basically doze off during my appointment. The environment is so relaxing. Sam always knows what to do with my hair that I don't need to give any instruction and does not push for any additional services. I am sadden that I have moved away from the area and it may be some time before I can return. I really trust no one else with my hair. My hair is frizzy, curly and thick and after seeing Sam, it becomes manageable again for almost 3 months+. read more

I am a loyal customer (#17), and have been going to Sam for over 20+ years. Not only is Sam super professional and proficiently skilled in his craft, but he also maintains a studio that prides itself on cleanliness , competent and friendly staff, and an atmosphere that feels comfortable and inviting. I highly recommend going to this salon to have a quality and memorable experience. read more

The two times I called in m, last minute, the owner (Sam) has been so kind to figure out a way to squeeze us in. My kiddo needed a last minute hair cut for picture day and he made it happen. He's very patient and so good at what he does. He's a for sure try!! Will be back again! Thank you! read more

Sam is the best! Great service, personality, and haircut. I highly recommend Sam. He is honest, funny, and very knowledgeable.

Excellent salon , upscale & clean! , Sam & the people that work here know their craft & I am so happy this was recommended to me !!

First time client and booked an appointment for blowout/styling. I asked for a 90's type of hairstyle and Nayiri completely nailed it!

Sam gave me the most beautiful haircut. I came in with very long hair that had no shape with odd layers, I asked for a butterfly cut with long layers.He gave me exactly that but he cut it in a way that brought my hair back to life. I won't let anyone besides Sam cut my hair from now on. They finished the service with the BEST blowout I've ever had. I've paid for many blowout services and this was beyond the best. Lasted for days! I'll be back just to get blowouts in between trims. Highly recommend! read more

Sam is an awesome hairdresser. He's funny, he is charming, and makes you feel welcomed. My mom referred me to him. She usually gets her hair cut by him and I had seen what a great job he did on her hair so I decided to give him a try. My hair was very uneven from my last cut. I made an appointment 3 days before the day I needed a haircut. So when the day came, I walked in a bit early and was greeted very kindly. A lovely lady washed my hair and brushed it out. She prepared my hair for Sam to cut it basically. Sam was very careful and was asking me throughout the process how short I wanted my hair, if I wanted layers in the front and/or back, if I wanted to keep the length, etc. But besides that he was very engaging in having interesting conversations and being funny. When he was finished with the cut, he put some products in my hair and began to blow dry it. His technique is very simple yet very unique. He used only brush heads instead of rollers to keep the curls in place. I thought that was very nice and different from what everyone else is doing. Overall I was very impressed and very satisfied with the whole process - from the moment I walked in to the moment I left with flawless hair. I highly recommend Sam! read more

I have been Sam's client for 24 years!. After my first haircut with him at the age of 16, I knew that I would be a lifelong customer. Today was a reiteration of the same. After my haircut, color, and style I felt as though I could take on the world! Thank you Sam for keeping my hair nothing short of spectacular. You cannot put a price on that : ) #BESTHAIRCUTEVER read more

I have been a delighted client since my daughter was 2; she's now 35. Being in the public light as a Chaplain for 58 years and now officiating at funerals for our American Heroes at the Los Angeles and Riverside National Cemeteries, Chaplain aboard the USS Battleship IOWA and the SS Lane Victory, and co-hosing a TV show every week, appearance is really important. Sam has always been terrific and I am so very appreciative of his skill and friendship for more than 3 decades. Sam and Ofelia and their colleagues always come through for all of us fortunate enough to find them. Visit Sam Pierre - you will be delighted and look great, too.

Shakeh did a fabulous job with my hair; however, I felt that the salon was overpriced.

Walked in to the salon on a Wednesday night around 7:00 pm, wanting to grab a price list and see if any hair stylists were there to perhaps make an appointment; 1. Yes, I know it was after hours but, a lady was still getting her hair done, the lights were on and the doors were open; 2. Walked in and completely got ignored...lol...No, he did say hi and bye, I guess if you are not Armenian they do not care for your business... read more

I have been coming to Sam Pierre a Good 8 years now. This is their new location. They used to be on Glendale Ave. I have mainly gone for my eye brows. I always request Ninnette She does a tremendously outstanding job. Always makes my eyebrows even, fixes any problems I have with them. Always makes sure if I like them. I am always honest with her & she always attempts to give me what I want. I have particularly sensitive skin but never leave scabbed (to the comment the other yelpers wrote) she must not be normally sensitive? For hair Sam is an angel He is the best hair artist there is. This place is pricey yes $20 for tweezing with threading- eyebrows & upper lip included. Hair prices vary due to your length of hair & service you request but if you want to look fabulous & like a star come here for the full treatment! They use high quality products & spend the time on you as much needed. No rushing here & no in N out Next customer please here either! read more

I recently went here to get my eyebrows threaded as they were outta control (my eyebrows had slowly morphed into one)! The girl who worked on my brows was nice, but she left me with completely scabbed! On top of that, she didn't even even out my brows. I was going out with friends that night, and wanted to look my best - instead I spent the night explaining to people why I had scabs all over my eyebrows. The second to last time I went there I had a very similar experience - scabby eyebrows, but at least the girl did a decent job of shaping them. My skin isn't particularly sensitive and I've had my eyebrows threaded elsewhere and didn't come out looking like I had just gotten in a fight with a feral bird. I've only had my eyebrows done here, so I can't comment on any of the other services they do but based on these two visits I won't go again. I can throw $20 at my parakeet and let it go wild on my face if I want scabs and uneven brows. read more

My hair is thick and wavy, oily and dry; it has never been this long with so many split ends. I had gone months saying, "I need to cut my hair," and finally, LivingSocial sent me a deal for somewhere nearby. I walked in and at that hour (10am today), there was only one stylist in view. She smiled and I walked up to the front counter. The place is very clean and modern, sleek lines, almost floor to ceiling mirrors for every station, pop music (which isn't my favorite, but whatever), and BedHead products are prevalent. At the front desk, a man came out and knew about my appt; he asked what I wanted, I said "I don't know. A wash and cut?" Sam is very rigorous in his washing and cutting, which I like. My scalp needs strong hands and my hair likes the pull. I don't know if this is how he usually is, or if he just knew my hair could handle the aggression. I told him I don't ever style my hair on my own. EVER. I don't even blow dry it, but I want all the damage gone, shoulder length, easy to manage... he layered and thinned, blow-dryed, and styled. I think he did a lovely job and I'm waiting to see how my hair will look when it's not styled, but so far, I've gotten beaucoup compliments. ^_^ I wouldn't mind going back for Sam to give me another stylin' look. Sam mentioned they'll soon have a "wig bar," which is exactly what you think it is - try it on before you get it done. I also read a different review that noted computers and wi-fi, but I didn't see any. Maybe they are not visible from where I sat? And the pièce de résistance?! SAM DOESN'T ACCEPT TIPS. He said that he just appreciates the business and if I want to tip him, review the salon on Yelp. And so here it is. read more

Came here for the first time for a haircut and also wanted a last minute dye as well and it happened! Sam was so sweet and professional! My hair is exactly how I showed him I wanted it. He has me as a client now officially! read more

Sam Pierre Studio - Hair selfie! - Hair Salons Near Me - Montrose, California

First off I want to say I'm extremely picky as to who touches my hair. I had the same stylist for 5yrs & unfortunately he left the country leaving me and my hair to suffer! This depression lasted a while buuuuuuu! I began my research around my area and I had come across Sam Pierre several times during my search and after comparing him & other salons I realized he was the right choice. I get there and i'm greeted by a couple of ladies that were sweet, welcoming and fun. I explained my horror story and they felt my pain. Then Sam joined us and I told him what I liked and didn't like about my hair & he explained to me what I needed and why. I LOVE THAT. He's the pro not me but I felt his confidence and he made me feel at ease to go ahead and trust him :) That's how I started a hair relationship w/Sam Pierre and staff haha I'll only be seeing them from here on out! See you guys tomorrow read more

Where do I begin?? For starters, I came to Sam Pierre a few months ago for a Brazilian blowout with Sylva and it turned out absolutely amazing. I was so happy with how it turned out, I loved the result. A bit after that I messed up my hair, so I made an appointment for today with Sam for a haircut and with Shake for color. I'm in awe at how beautiful my hair looks. Hands down the best haircut and color I've ever gotten. Sam honestly worked wonders with my hair and completely transformed it. During the process, he also explained to me what needed to be done to obtain results.The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming, and they are honest with you about your hair(which I greatly appreciate). The prices are also great, and the ambience is lovely as well. The salon is in such a cute location with plenty of parking, and I love the clean, hip vibe it gives off. They seriously do a perfect job with anything hair related. After my experiences here, I have found my forever salon!! Thank you Sam & Shake for my stunning new hair! read more

I love Sam Pierre Hair Studio. Been coming here for a long time. Service is wonderful. It's a fun and hip hair studio, they are incredibly welcoming. You can enjoy a cup of coffee and something small to eat while you wait to get your hair did. It's awesome. Ofelia and Sam do amazing jobs as well as the rest of their staff. Highly recommend going here! GO! read more

FYI - not everyone who works in this salon has been vaccinated and they're not wearing masks. Beware. Other than that, seems clean, and the manager seems nice. read more

As is the case with many of us high-maintenance-about-my-hair people, I too had the perfect stylist. 'Til she fell in love and left town. Drat! Then I met Ofelia. Hands DOWN the best colorist around. She knows what looks good with my skin tone and when to steer me away from crazy ideas. The best part? My color looks amazing for MONTHS. Yes, months people. I don't know how she does it, but she's a wizard. Oh how I have long forgotten about my broken heart. Possibly because I can't stop staring at my hair in the reflection of my computer screen. No matter... read more

update update! I wanted to get purple highlights because....well i've always wanted to since forever ago. When I first came here, I saw so many girls play with their hair and different colors (and their hair is dark like mine) I got even MORE excited to do it for myself! Long story short, bleaching my black hair to show the purple would have taken FOREVER, PLUS it would have killed my hair. It was suggested that I get extensions. I won't lie, I was hesitant at first, but the thought of non-burnt hair was something I didn't think about. Anyway, I was leaving for Chicago the next day and they ran out of purple....that is....until I got a phone call saying they found ONE pack left!!! It was meant to be :) I came in, and it was done well and with wonderful song and dance service ;) Two times...great service. They're on a roll! AAAAND everyone loves my purple locks :) read more

How can I even begin to describe what a positive aura & atmosphere this place has! You will not only look fabulous, but leave here feeling amazing! I can not tell you how warm, sweet, friendly & talented Shakeh is! Not only does she do a superb job with you hair & eyebrows, you can't help but feel wonderful when you see her smile! She is always cheerful & sets the mood for a relaxing beauty session! No wonder I make it a priority to go every week! Shakeh will put in that extra effort & time without being rushed, to make sure that you look just perfect! Sam Pierre is absolutely the place to go if you are looking to get pampered & refreshed! Thank you Shakeh for always being professional, kind, creative & awesome, every single time! I highly recommend you! You deserve beyond 5 stars! read more

I just got the cutest hair cut & color from Sam! He really listens to what you want. He is very precise with his cuts and my color is amazing! I really like this high class salon..... Thank-you Sam! read more

Just got a fantastic haircut from Ofelia. As usual the uplifting conversation and advice about life would be worth the price even without a haircut! Positive, friendly atmosphere in this place, with Sam himself and the precocious Krista as well. I should get my hair cut more often! read more

I love Sam pierre best place for eyebrow threading. Ofelia is the best out there I must say. I wouldnt trust anyone else other than her with my eyebrows. Place is full of energy and caring staff. Clean salon and full of energy... Thank you Ofelia.. read more

Sam knows the business, but more so, he knows people and although I have not had anyone else but himself work on my hair, I hear through others that this is the place to go. Sam will cut to his suggestion or to your liking so some people griping about their cuts, chances are you had an expectation you did not properly communicate. Their amenities are top notch with coffee, internet etc. But that's just the icing. And best of all, the wonderful folks who work there are like family. After a couple cuts, you feel like it's the Cheers bar but barber! :) thanks team, way to go! read more

Got my hair blown out by the owner himself. Amazing customer service all around. I called last minute to move my appointment up, no problem. Got an amazing wash. I broke my left hand which is completely casted and he helped me look and feel amazing for my upcoming Christmas Party at work. Highly recommend!! read more

I've been going to Sam for about 4 years now, ever since another hair stylist fried my hair with bleach. Not only did he give me a cut that covered up the damage, but he also treated it and made it look normal again. He gives awesome haircuts, knows how to color (i.e. doesn't fry your hair, knows what colors are right for your skin tone, uses good quality products), and to top it all off, they provide great customer service!!! I will not go to anyone else for my hair after going to Sam. His cuts have always gotten compliments. If you are looking for a trendy, fabulous cut/color or any other service (such as eyebrows or makeup), I would definitely suggest Sam Pierre and his skilled staff. Parking is very convenient, right behind the salon. The salon itself is clean and very nice. While you're waiting for your color to set in, go spend some time on their free internet and computers, or have a coffee or refreshment at the table! read more

Sam did an amazing job with my hair cut. I've been to many places and can't remember the last time I walked out of a salon loving not only my cut but also the styling. He is precise and a perfectionist! He took his time. It's difficult to find a master hair stylist. I highly recommend Sam and his salon. The staff are super sweet and helpful. Felt completely comfortable and will be staying at this salon as it is so hard to find good hair stylists in this area. Thank you!! I love my hair! read more
