Sammy's skill with color is actually insane, you'll definitely get what you're looking for even if it's a process she's down for the journey lol! My favorite part though is HER her personality is so fun which is super important when you're with someone for hours and hours on big projects! lol 10/10 recommend read more

Sammy is so talented! My hair always looks on point and her use of color is incredible! She is such a kind human and I always look forward to our appointments not only for a color refresh, but to catch up with her! Sammy sends you home with aftercare instructions and if you follow them, your vivids will last and fade out beautifully. I'm currently rocking a 3 month fade out and still getting compliments on my color. If you're looking for vivids, this is your girl! read more

Sammy has been doing my hair for 9 years!! She took me from box dyed red (the hardest color to remove) to blonde, and then back to red after years of being blonde. I loved my blonde, she kept my hair so healthy. I literally don't trust anyone else to cut or color my hair, matter of fact I moved across the country and have come out to see her just to cut my hair. She listens to me, and leaves me happy every single time, there has not been ONCE in 9 years where I didn't like the way she cut my hair or the color. She's also so kind, patient, funny and charismatic. If you're reading this debating If you want to book an appointment with her, DO IT! read more

So glad I found Sammy! I was looking for someone to transform my hair and do something fun. I was always told when I was younger that my hair was too crazy/weak for colors. But thankfully I found Sammy and she took me from dark brown to lavender, to black and blue, and many other beautiful colors. She is amazing at color correction and is super informative about the process. She always knows what to do with my hair and she's open to trying new things. I am so appreciative of Sammy because she knows what she's doing and she's still super humble and down to earth. She's one of a kind! If you're looking to do cool hair, talk to Sammy. read more

Sammy is the absolute best! She is a master at color and she listens to what you're trying to achieve. She has done my hair and my daughters we are definitely returning customers read more

The BEST i've ever had! They took away my disgusting COVID roots & made me feel brand new! After they were done, my hair was the softest it's ever been (even after being bleached). It was shiny & sprung back rather than being dull & absolutely lifeless. Sammy was EXTREMELY informative about the best way to go about getting my hair healthy again & how to help it grow! They talked to me throughout the process about every single thing they were doing to my hair & never left me second guessing what was going on. They are extremely passionate about their job & more passionate about the clients responses. They are a MASTER of vivids & does phenomenally with blondes, an absolute jack of all trades & the ONLY person I recommend going to! read more

I've been contemplating vivid hair for over a year trying to find the right hair stylist. I'm so grateful to have been referred to Sammy. She is a hair goddess! I was concerned about the bleaching process, but she explained the process, expectations and aftercare. I showed her a picture of the colors I wanted and she swatched the colors to confirm. She worked her magic and when I saw the finished product it was better than I could have imagined. Now I'm addicted to vivid hair colors. Sammy is talented beyond her years. Definitely make an appointment and you won't be disappointed. read more

While I am definitely not Sammy's most exciting client (natural colour thanks to my job), she always makes me feel like the most important. I grew up exclusively having my hair cut by my mom, so when I moved to San Diego I was so nervous to put my trust, time, and money into a stranger. I can say with absolute confidence that, after trying two or three stylists I didn't love, trusting Sammy was ridiculously easy, and I've now been only seeing her for my hair since 2019. Sammy is incredibly talented, and is constantly challenging herself to learn more and master this craft. She is kind, thoughtful, empathetic, and funny--I can hardly imagine anyone she couldn't make fast friends with or put at ease. Sammy is a true creative, and a truly good human. Plus, her new space is impeccably designed (and such an achievement!), and I can't wait to see what happens next in her career. 100% worth every penny and worth the drive. Thank you, Sammy, for always helping me feel beautiful! read more

i absolutely adore sammy! i only started growing out my hair, but she's known me since my mid-length to long era and styles my hair right every time. there's no doubt in her knowledge of colors, but her cuts aren't to be overlooked either. these past few years, if i'm not doing touch ups at home, i go to her for a whole revamp and i leave her salon feeling amazing. after dyeing my hair red, i don't know if i'm ever going back to black. sammy is my sweet emo queen and a trip to her salon heals some part of my inner child. read more

Sam is the only one I let touch my hair! Don't learn the hard way. She can pretty much do it all with your hair's health in mind while at the same time inspiring you to branch out and do bad ass shit with your hair. She has made me so hair brave and I never thought I could rock a vivid and I've never regretted it the only regret is not doing it sooner. Besides her talent she's become a friend I truly treasure after her I've never looked back read more

I met Sammy 2 years ago searching for color specialists on Instagram. And let me tell you, I AM SO LUCKY TO HAVE FOUND HER! She is a true artist and I am always floored by the creations she does. I am so thankful of the time and effort she always puts in and I'm lucky enough to call her a friend now. read more

So this was by far the best salon experience I have ever had. Sammy was completely professional and awesome. She knew exactly how to get the vivid red color I asked for. The salon setup was awesome too, with snacks and beverages for her clients. I had a hazelnut coffee last time while we waited for the color to set. She gave me a curling tutorial and was extremely knowledgeable about products and upkeep. And when I say I am OBSESSED with the vivid red results. And the amount of compliments I have gotten in public, omg. I went on vacation right after our first vivid color appointment . Almost every single cashier I interacted with that weekend complimented my hair. A stranger yelled across a busy street to tell me they loved it. It never gets old. I simply cannot get this same result from box color at home. And due to the color care instructions, the natural fade over time has been incredibly minimal 8 weeks later. 12/10, highly recommend. read more

Sammy has been such an angel with my hair journey--two years ago I was a dusty dark brown with grown out box dye--haven't looked back. I was nervous for a big change too, but she made me so comfortable and explained every step before we would take it. I was worried about committing to the maintenance that is platinum but sammy makes it quite approachable and I love hanging out in her salon every six weeks! read more

Sammy is absolutely the best hairstylist who has ever touched my hair. I found her work on Instagram and was so excited to become her client. I have always had a hard time getting my hair blonde from other stylists, so I wasn't sure if I would be able to go vivid right away (since it needs to be bleached first). Holy moly was I wrong. She's a miracle worker. I went from brunette to the most gorgeous, vibrant vivid colors I could dream of. She gave me detailed instructions for at home care and my color lasts until I'm ready for a root touch up! I can't believe it. She makes my hair beautiful every time. She provides excellent instructions for at home care, and wonderful product recommendations. She really cares about her work. The quality of her work is above any that I've ever seen. She makes me feel so beautiful. I literally get compliments where ever I go and everyone wants to know who does my hair. Not only is she an amazing stylist but she has such a welcoming and nice personality. I love getting my hair done because talking to her feels like talking to a friend. I am so thankful I found her! read more
