I get both amazing service and amazing conversation when I go to Sam's. I always love what I get and we have both learned about my hair. Sam knows how to handle an at home bleach job gone bad without making you feel bad and teaching you how to care for your hair. Her attention to detail is amazing and every color I have had I have enjoyed so much and multiple compliments in a day! Everyone deserves a Sam to care for their hair. It goes to show how many 5 star reviews she has and you'll realize why when you see her! read more

Quality vs. Price just doesn't seem to be there for me. Sam is pleasant and easy to work with though.

My review of Sam is long overdue! She absolutely SAVED my hair! Before going to Sam, my hair was seriously in shambles--super frizzy, balling up out of the shower, damaged! I attributed it to aging and having had two kids. Turns out my previous stylist was way over-processing my hair. I can't believe I never made the connection. I just happened to leave my former stylist because the location was no longer convenient to me and started going to Sam. Fortunately, Sam educated me on why my hair was behaving the way it was and assured me that it was treatable. I seriously am in awe with the health of my hair now. I so appreciate the fact that Sam cares about the integrity of her clients' hair and thinks about the health of my hair long term. This forethought informs what she does during each of our appointments. She is extremely knowledgeable and has taught me so much about hair care and styling. Her products are amazing and her price points are the lowest I have found anywhere. In addition to improving my hair health, my highlights/color, cuts, and styling are always amazing, and I walk out of her salon feeling like a million bucks. She is in tune with the latest trends in hair fashion, and any time I ask her to do a certain style, she can whip it up no problem. I hired her to do updos for me and my bridesmaids at my wedding. I was so indecisive about what I wanted, but Sam walked me through several different trials and what I finally decided on turned out beautifully. She is a master craftsman. I had ten bridesmaids, half of which Sam styled initially. The other half were styled by two other girls that I hired who were not connected to Sam at all. All of the bridesmaids that Sam styled loved their hair. The bridesmaids that were styled by the other two stylists were disappointed. Sam came to the rescue and fixed everyone's hair to make sure they were all happy. She is seriously amazing. Last, but not least, she has a great, easy-going personality and I love chatting with her during my appointments. I advise you to book far in advance read more

Sam is awesome, and not just because she is also named Sam! I know she doesn't check Yelp (we talked about it, haha) but I felt like I needed to leave a review. I was so ready to cut a large amount of my hair off, not only because it was too much to take care of, but also because I wanted to donate it to Wigs for Kids. Sam was a great conversationalist. She has a small studio space but she instantly makes you feel comfortable. She cut my hair in four ponytails just like you need to do in order to donate it. She gave me a ton of helpful hair care tips, and she styled my hair based on my preferences. She really listens to you and makes sure you leave with what you want. It is obvious that Sam loves what she does, and I will definitely be back! read more

After years of thinking about it, I finally decided I was ready to take the plunge (and fork over the cash) to go with a vivid hair color. I combed through Yelp, stalked various Instagram accounts, and called around to fully understand what I was getting into. Sam was easy to talk to on the phone and gave me great info about the time and cost involved in maintaining vivid color, and she gave me advice about how to maintain the color so that I didn't need to hit the salon every month. I've been to Sam's studio three times now and I have come out every time completely in love with my hair--both the color and the cut. The color lasts and stays vivid without me having to put tons of products into it between visits. Sam has given me great information so that I know what to expect, which is so helpful when you're new to vivid color and balayage. Lastly, Sam is super easy to talk to, which is important considering how long the balayage process takes! I completely enjoy my visits and am a loyal customer after about 5 months now. (I was hesitant to write this review only because then she will get booked up even more! But she's worth the 5 stars.) read more

The prices are higher than I have ever seen. She wants over 200 dollar for cut, and root coverage with highlights. I have never had to pay more than 140. Just wow, thats over 50 an hour for a hair stylist, sorry shes no doc. read more

I've been going to Sam for almost a year now and I love everything about her studio! She styled my hair for my engagement photos and I have booked her out through my wedding season to ensure my color is perfect. Highly recommend. read more

Where do I even start? Sam is absolutely fabulous! My niece was finally ready to say goodbye to her super long locks and opt for something short and fun, but wanted it done ASAP before she changes her mind. We were so lucky that Sam was able to fit us in! The location itself is quite interesting. There's plenty of parking. Sam's Studio is located inside Sola Salon, which consists of a bunch of individual beauty businesses, from hair to facials to brows etc. Sam's Studio is absolutely adorable. The space is incredibly welcoming and very chic. There's even a patio right outside her space, where you can lounge and relax! Sam really took her time to ask what my niece wanted to do with her hair. They reviewed photos, discussed options and she made sure my niece was comfortable with how much length she was cutting off. Then she did the color and made sure it was perfect, even if she had to spend more time on it than previously expected. It's amazing how soft and shiny my niece's hair was when everything was done. All in all, Sam is very professional, a perfectionist and extremely fun. I can't wait to go back and have her work on my hair!! read more

Awesome experience with Sam. Very pleasant to talk to and she was incredibly careful regarding restrictions for COVID (face mask + face shield, everything was sanitized from floor to ceiling, etc.) Definitely will be returning! read more

I learned a hard lesson this past weekend, fortunately Sam was there to get me through it! I reached out to her Sunday morning and by Sunday evening she fixed me right up! I had a run in with some bad root touch up and thought I would end up with a deep red all over or bald but Sam saved it! Don't be mistaken, it was a 4 hour repair. Worth every penny. Already scheduled my next touch-up, new loyal client here! Thank you Sam! You are a miracle worker! read more

When I moved to Bentonville I wasn't sure who I could count on to help maintain my beloved bottleneck style bangs. I was lucky I found Sam! On the first visit she immediately knew from talking and looking at a few pictures what I was going for, and recut my (at this point super overgrown) bangs perfectly. I've probably done about two more hair cuts and two more bang trims with her at this point, and she always gets it right. She has a very scientific and attentive approach to what she does, which I appreciate. For example, after my first bang trim, the bangs looked great at first but I noticed over time they really wanted to split in the middle. The next time I met with Sam I mentioned this to her, and she changed her cutting technique slightly and the problem was solved! In addition to knowing her craft, I have found Sam very approachable and fun to talk to. Leaving her studio is like having visited with a friend. read more

Finally found someone that understands curly hair! Sam had her work cut out for her fixing someone else's mistake. Cut and color are spot on - already excited for my next appointment. read more

Samantha is amazing i love the way She cuts and styles hair.She is the only one i can trust and does such a awesome job.She just cut my daughters hair and am so in love with it and how it turned out it was a big change for her because she went from long hair to short. Over all she is awesome and I will continue to go to her and so will my family. read more

Sam's Style Studio - Miley loves her haircut from Samantha it turned out so cute and made her look so grown up. - Hair Salons Near Me - Bentonville, Arkansas

My message was left for Sam...... phone message as well as a Text with no response! Wanted to have color, cut & style & deep conditioning. Awful professionalism, as well as poor customer service. read more

Hands down the best! When I first met Sam (2months ago), my hair was a mess lol. She was honest with me and helped me fall back in love with my hair. Super happy I found someone who doesn't do hair just for your money but has the knowledge behind everything as well. Thanks Sam for being awesome! read more

Okay soooooo found this cute little hidden gem here on yelp & decided to give it a try, 1. Because my usual stylist was booked and I got the itch for change and didn't wanna wait (you know us chicks ) and 2. Because this place had great reviews, not many but that's okay! Sam is the owner and solo hair dresser for this location and she is great! My first impression is great, she's first off super gorg, and she's also very sweet & super informational. She did not cut any corners with me and gave me any all information possible even when I didn't ask, which is nice for me cause I have absolutely no knowledge on hair.. She did not make me feel like she was selling me the place to make money, she really wanted what was best for my hair. She's easy to talk to and is clearly passionate about what she does so all in all great experience! I love what she did to my hair! Toned my blonde for me, gave me a complimentary treatment and gave me some well needed information, also cut my hair and it turned out great! She listens well and executes just what I wanted! Thank you Sam!!! I'll be seeing you again :) read more

If you're looking for a great stylist-look no further! I've been going to Sam for about 4 years. I followed her from not one, but two salons, so believe it when I say, she's the best! My hair has never been healthier or looked this good in years and I owe it all to her. From the minute you walk through her salon doors, Sam makes you feel right at home. Feel free to relax and indulge in some mimosas! I would also say that Sam is very in tune with her clients wants and needs, (especially color, she's AMAZING with color!) I tell her what I want, and she more than exceeds my expectations (trust me, I've had some of those instances where my expectations weren't meant and it was not pretty). So, if you're looking for a stylist who makes you feel welcome, is great with color, and actually listens to what you want- Sam is your girl! :) read more

First time trying Sam's Studio because I didn't want to drive all the way to Alameda for my haircut Good ol' Yelp helped me find this place. Overall, I was very pleased with my new haircut. Nothing drastic, just a trim, and minor layers. Sam is very attentive to what the customer actually wants and will give you tips/pointers for your specific hair type. I will definitely recommend Sam's studio and will go back for another cut and perhaps color! read more

I love Sam's work I followed her from Fremont. A little bit of a drive but she is so worth following I have been going to Sam for about three years now. She has always given me the best tips and tricks for my crazy long hair. I love the products she uses on me and recommends for me because there is so many to choose from out there that it gets overwhelming at times and I end up buying the wrong one and it ends up getting wasted. So I leave it up to Sam. She recommends products that she carries and others which I like. I feel like I get the best service with Sam from start to finish. I am so excited for the opening of her new studio. She has wanted to own here own salon for awhile now. read more

Sam is amazing!! She's being my stylist for over 2 years and I'm always incredibly happy with my cut and color. She's really thorough and takes the time to talk about options and what to expect. I can't recommend her enough!! read more

I love Samantha's work! I followed her from another salon in Fremont and have been going to her for over 3 years. She is very meticulous and gives my hair a thorough treatment, and isn't shy about giving complimentary treatments here and there too. I get so many compliments on my cuts and color from her, and she's very mindful of cutting my thick curly hair in a way that can be worn curly or straight. She is also great about educating me on all things hair, and I feel like I learn something new about taking care of my hair every time I see her. Not only is she a great stylist, but she's fun to chat with. I just had my first appointment at her new studio salon and it's a great little space that reflects her impeccable style and taste. She offers you wine, mimosas, coffee or tea and all around makes you feel very special and pampered. Thanks Samantha!! read more

Sam is a great hairdresser!! On vacation and decided to get hair cut off, looked online and found an amazing hair professional. Looking for a great hairdresser Sam's your girl. read more

Friendly, accommodating and a master at her work, Sam is fantastic at her job. I went in a few months ago and basically told her I had no idea what cut I wanted, but that I wanted to "look like a professional woman." She did magic with my hair, making it perfect, and better than anything I could have come up with myself. Beyond that, she was super friendly and fun to talk to, and made me feel so comfortable! I've already made two more appointments and can't wait to go back! Make sure you make an appointment way in advance, because she is booked up for months, and for a good reason. read more

I've only gotten a couple of haircuts from Sam so far, but I will keep coming back! She is the first hairstylist I've gone to that knows how to beautifully shape and cut curly hair, and she is very detail-oriented. I know I can relax, because she's a pro at what she does and an amazing person to talk to. After years of straightening my hair, I finally have the confidence to wear my natural curls! read more

I went to Sam for the first time last week for a clean-up (didn't want anything drastic because I have a big event coming up) and honestly, I was super nervous! Switching hair stylists is very nerve-wracking for me because I have such thick hair and need layers. I do not dye my hair, just need someone to cut my hair the right way! You'd think my needs sound simple but people have messed up in the past. Sam's Style Studio was one of the first salons that popped up on Yelp and decided to give it a try. She was able to accommodate me earlier than I thought and for an evening appointment. Even at 7pm at night, she still has enough energy to do a great job and carry on a conversation -- I would be so tired! **NOTE -- her studio is UPSTAIRS in the SOLA SALON SUITES. I was lost when I first arrived. Sam asked the right questions, provided suggestions and the end result was what I needed (and for a great price too!) She was able to do a fancy thinning technique and now my hair doesn't feel as heavy. She gave me layers and my hair is much healthier than it was. Sam provides a comforting atmosphere that most hair stylists don't do because they either don't talk to you or try to overpower your wishes with their expert opinions. Sam isn't like that at all and I thank her for making me feel at ease and for my entire experience! read more

I have trusted Sam with my hair (which is basically my life) ever since I first went to her. She came as a recommendation from my best friend. I dye my own hair in a slightly unconventional way (which I know is a big salon no-no), but Sam has never pressured me to stop and let herself color my hair. Instead, she has helped me find ways to keep my hair healthy in a way that fits my hippie lifestyle. My hair hasn't been this healthy in YEARS. I'm also an athlete, and Sam is very understanding that my hair has to look good when it's up as well as when it's down (Look Good Play Good!) and she considers that into the way she cuts it. The experience I have with Sam is very personalized and I would follow her to the ends of the earth!! read more

Reached out to Sam to make an appointment and she reached out quickly. Despite being booked solid until January, she added me to her wait list and was able to see me within a couple days. She has fantastic communication skills and is also quite prompt. I have naturally wavy hair and I am always a bit nervous when seeing a new hair stylist, I've been burned in the past, but Sam was amazing and made me feel at ease and understood. She went slowly and took her time making sure I was happy every step along the way. She did a fantastic job and I can't recommend her highly enough! Seriously the best haircut I've ever had, I've already booked out my next two appointments and I can't wait for my next cut. read more

I had Sam cut my hair a few times now and I LOVE it every time! I also love that she gives you suggestions on what products to use in your hair..I will continue to go see her on a regular basis. everyone should go see her one time and you will want to continue having her cut and style your hair! read more

Sam is definitely one of the most approachable and knowledgeable hair stylists I've ever been to. She will fill your head full of hair knowledge as she fills your hair full of wonderful things. In my case, she did an all over color with a balayage. I had never had a balayage before, and hadn't intended on getting one, but was pleasantly surprised by how it turned out. It took me out of my comfort zone (I'm used to conservative dark colors). If I had to take the journey into the unknown, I'm glad Sam was the guide. She's honest, upfront, and you feel like you are in good hands when you are with her. Her space is also chic and relaxing, a nod to her personal style. Definitely one of the best salons I've been to in the past few years! read more

I had my first real salon experience with Sam yesterday. She is great! I went in looking for a change, and she went over the best options for me. She explained everything before she did it and made the process so easy and relaxing. I had total confidence in her! She gave great tips on maintenance and follow up needed. She is very conscious about keeping the hair healthy and natural. Her space is really nice and even has a private patio with fire pit! It was a great overall experience, and I'm very happy with how my hair came out. read more

I planned to do my hair by myself for a very important event and when I did a trial it did not look so good. I was super lucky to have a professional, Sam, nearby. She is very talented and helped me feel so elegant for the big celebration. Thank you Sam! I highly recommend booking an appointment with her to feel fabulous! Don't risk it- go with a professional! read more

Had another great stop! I have been going to Sam for years and will continue to do so! She has seen me through a lot of trials in my life. Every step of the way she has been honest and explained things to me. She tells me why she is doing something and her honest opinion. She does not push her products on me though if I ask she is happy to answer. I am so glad I was introduced to Sam. To give you an idea, I travel 45 minutes to an hour to get there. read more

All my life I have had trouble finding a hairdresser in the Bay Area who was skilled, cheap, and would be honest about what styles I looked good with. Having the thick frizzy Portuguese hair did not help my problem of finding a good hairdresser. For years I have been searching through many hairdressers from Fremont to San Jose. I was about to give up on finding a hairdresser until my cousin insisted on me trying Sam's Style Studio. This was my final time trying a new hairdresser. I gave it a try nervously thinking she was going to be just like any other stylist. Walking up to her studio was quite strange. It was just as if walking into an office building to see a bunch of cubicles, but instead of cubicles its little salons. (Talking about a one stop shop place for hair, nails, and waxing eyebrows). This never bothered me, since I was more interested about Sam's skill than the place she did it at. She has a hospitable attitude that will make you feel comfortable within seconds of being there. Her personality sweet and down to earth, which makes her opinion important when you ask how you would look with a particular style. With the sound of snipping scissors there was a nervous teen (me) sitting in a chair praying this lady wont screw up. Little did I know that this woman was a pro. By the time she was finished I looked like I came right off the red carpet. My dry, frizzy, straw-like was transformed into a soft fluffy work of art. Instead of my normal frizzy crazy curls I was then given tamed soft curls that had lasted me months. I have finally ended my hairdresser search with Sam's Style Studio in Castro Valley. You will never find a hair dresser that is as skilled, honest, and fair priced. Thank you Sam for working wonders on my hair. read more

Sam is awesome!!!Very detailed oriented and knew what she was talking about. She took her time and made sure my hair looked amazing. She gave me one the best haircuts I have ever had!Highly recommend her! read more

I just got my hair done yesterday (the Balayage) and I am so in love! Sam did a great job! Unlike other stylist she listens and doesn't just do whatever on your hair, she also doesn't just chop off all your either to make things easier. Sam fully checked my hair first and told me what's best to cut off and she also gave me several tips for my curly hair. Sam is very nice and easy to talk to too. I will defiantly recommend! If your looking for a great stylist she's the one! Thank you Sam!! read more
