About

Samantha has been a licensed stylist since 1994. She trained through an apprenticeship at a small Portsmouth salon, where the instructor taught cutting in the Sassoon style. Later, while working at a corporate salon, she earned seven certificates in six years for color and styling through in-house and out-of-state courses. She is licensed in New Hampshire and Maine.

Her work centers on color and cutting. She has a particular interest in French plein-air balayage and offers blonding in several forms, including hair painting, balayage and highlighting, using French, open-air and closed-foil methods. Haircuts are tailored to each client and include her signature shampoo and blow-dry. She also offers deep conditioning, in which the hair is shampooed, treated with a customized oil or masque, then washed and blown dry.

Booking usually starts with an email consultation, which lets her estimate time and cost and check whether the look you want fits her specialties. New color clients are asked to share their hair history, past treatments and long-term goals before booking. Blonding and double process color are arranged after a consultation, with current photos of the hair and the desired look requested. Double process pricing depends on the amount of product and the number of processes, and may take several sessions. Shampoo and blow-dry pricing depends on hair length and thickness.

She serves clients of all genders but does not service hair with extensions. Cancellations made within 24 hours of an appointment carry a minimum charge of $85, and a no-show is charged the full amount of the service. The stylist states that she guarantees the quality of her colors, cuts and styling. The phone line at 603-205-4958 accepts text messages only.

Her approach is consultation-first, with cuts, treatments and color planned around each client's hair history and goals.
