I've been going to the and with Samantha as my hair stylist. I have always had positive experiences as a client, and I see the same with the other stylists and clients based on the interactions I've observed.
This salon staff are all very knowledgeable, professional, and talented.
It's always effortless speaking to Samantha when trying to decide with her on any changes, or maintenance I'd like. I first walked into the salon a a few years ago with hair so damaged, it would not grow well. With time, patience and some fairly consistent visits, my natural hair is now healthier, longer, stronger,

I had an amazing experience at Samantha James Hair Design! Charlene is wonderful! I hadn’t had my hair cut in a really long time and was nervous after too many bad experiences at other salons. But she took her time to listen to what I was looking for and educated me on how to best look after my hair in order to reach my hair goals! I absolutely love how my cut turned out and I’ve already booked in with her again for my next appointment! Thank you so much to Charlene and everyone there who were all so kind and helpful!
I highly recommend this salon!!!

Awesome local hair salon. It doesn't feel like a chain with impersonal service. Everyone seems happy to be there and happy to be cutting hair. They are extremely careful using good Covid19 precautions for cleanliness. I'm very picky when it comes to hair salons, and I'm looking forward to my next visit. The price was very reasonable. I definitely recommend them for anyone local, and I would likely commute a good distance for this kind of experience getting my hair cut.

This was my first visit to Samantha James Hair Design and it definitely won't be the last! I saw Charlene for my color and trim. And I love my hair. It's always a little nerve wracking seeing someone new for your hair but she made it a pleasant and comfortable experience. Such a great atmosphere in that salon. A light and friendly place to be. Thank you for the great experience 😊

Great location, really trendy and nice space, friendly staff. Best of all, Samantha did my hair exactly how I wanted for a wedding and it held up perfectly all day!
UPDATE: My husband and I have both switched to this hair shop for our regular hair cuts. We really appreciate the gender neutral pricing, refillable shampoo/conditioner, and silent appointment options. The way the staff seeks to find ways to be inclusive makes us feel very welcome and we are always happy with the results of our haircuts, too!

Wandered in here because it's close to my house. Just went for a wash and style, ended up getting the hair treatment.
My hair was super soft afterwards. Worth the $15 extra.
I think I got James? He was very personable and friendly. He asked me if this was for a special occasion. I said no. So he said to get the cheaper blow dry to save money. When I had asked another girl she said the difference was one they use a roll brush, the other a paddle. In the end he used both but still charged me for the cheaper one. It's nice when places aren't just about trying to up their revenue.
