About

Level up with Sam is a hair salon at 12750 Carmel Country Rd in San Diego, open Monday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM and closed Sundays. Sam is the listed hairstylist, and the salon has a 5-star rating from 34 Google reviewers.

Every haircut begins with a detailed consultation. Color services start with a custom color consultation that covers hair history and the result the client wants, and a full color transformation typically takes two to four hours depending on length, starting color and the desired look. Root touch-ups are generally suggested every four to six weeks, and color correction may take several sessions with a plan built around the hair's condition and history.

The salon lists a range of services, from kids' and men's haircuts to Keratin treatments, which typically last eight to twelve weeks depending on hair type, aftercare and washing frequency. Clients are asked to arrive with dry, detangled hair unless told otherwise.

Head massage is a scalp, temple and neck massage meant to relieve tension, with pressure, duration and focus areas adjusted to the client, and plant-based oils optional. Head shaves are done with straight razors and clippers for a smooth, closely groomed result, followed by personalized aftercare advice and product recommendations. Quick touch-ups are available between full shaves.

Packages begin with a personalized consultation to fit hair type, lifestyle and upkeep. Most include standard salon products and finishing treatments, while premium color additives or specialized treatments may carry extra charges that the stylist discloses during consultation.

According to the salon, it uses current techniques and high-quality products, with personalized attention to each client.
