Samantha La Due

Samantha La Due works as a colorist and educator at BLONDELUXE and joined the salon in May 2019. She had more than a decade of experience in hair color, smoothing treatments and extensions when she arrived, and 2023 marked her sixteenth year behind the chair.

She co-directs the salon's training program for talent and traveled to Paris in 2022 with Kérastase for advanced training. She has been certified in tape-in extensions for over 10 years and in Great Lengths Keratin-Bond extensions for nearly five years. Tape-in extensions with her range from $430 to $1,200+, and Keratin-Tip extensions range from $600 to $3,000+ and typically last four to six months.

Her color work includes bold golds and coppers, platinum blondes, mauve, chocolate brown and gray coverage. Her guests vary in hair type, goals and background. She works with an assistant who shadows her and helps with finishing and styling.
