5 /5 Heather Richbourg: Samantha is truly an artist. I have long dark virgin hair, and really wanted the balayage but was nervous. I wanted natural but noticeable, blondish but not brassy, and well blended. Sam took the time to talk to me, look over all of my inspiration pictures, and talked to me honestly about all possible scenarios since hair color is never a guarantee. She explained the color process that no one else ever has to me! How all dark hair goes through the brassy tones, and needs to go lighter and then get toned back up to get the ashy brown colors. I trusted her and I have never been so happy with a hair appointment. She hand paints her balayage with a gentle lightener so my hair doesnt feel brittle or dry, and its beautifully blended. Couldnt be happier. The salon is beautiful but Samantha makes it amazing!
