Meet Sam
Hi everyone, I’m Sam!
As long as I can remember I’ve always had a passion for hair and makeup. From a young age I was always doing hair for my friends just for fun or special events! Throughout college and the different jobs I’ve had, my love for hair was always there.
In March 2018, I decided to pursue my dream and enrolled in cosmetology school. While I was in school I worked as a salon receptionist, learning the business side of the beauty industry. While I love all aspects of hairstyling, I specialize in blonding techniques and lived-in color. I love bringing my clients' inspirational pictures to life.
When I’m not at work you can find me enjoying local food, listening to true crime podcasts or planning my next trip for a music festival or concert!
xoxo,
Sam
