I've been seeing Sam for ~18 months and she never ceases to amaze with each visit. With her help, i've been able to maintain length, while having fresh highlights that create the colour I want. She is mindful of my finite budget and ensures the colour will grow out tastefully, so the price point is justified by the value I receive. Sam's charm on a personal level is that she is a consummate professional who makes me feel relaxed so much that I actually look forward to my time in the chair with her. If you have dark curly hair but like it longish, lightish, and straighter, I highly recommend you try Sam.
