I cannot say enough wonderful things about Cindy Brady at Fantastic Sam's located in Wakefield, RI. She is a true artist and an absolute genius with color. I completely messed up my hair on 05/04/26. It was awful!! My first mistake -- I touched up my own roots. When the color came out too dark, I used a color corrector... which turned my hair orange! I had a dinner to attend that night and called Cindy in a total panic. Not only did she get me in immediately, she completely saved my hair. I posted before-and-after photos just to show how incredibly talented she is as a colorist and stylist. Cindy is true artist. If you are looking for an exceptional hair stylist who truly understands color, look no further than Cindy at Fantastic Sam's. I highly recommend her. You can book your appointment right on their website and their prices are very reasonable. read more

Lydia did a fabulous job with my updo for a recent wedding. Her attention to detail was amazing and my hair stayed in place all night! I will definitely be using her again. Highly recommend. read more

No thank you John K. I wouldn't come back there if you paid me to cut my hair. Not worth my time or energy to ever enter back into that establishment. read more

these pictures don't even do the hack job justice. I'm not usually the one to write a review on a negative experience but this one i just couldn't not say anything, people need to be warned. I was in a pinch and my usual salon had no appointments available so i desperately made one here; which i'll never do again. Upon arrival, i was nicely greeted and seated. After a short consultation(where she was scrolling through my camera roll which in all fairness could have been an accident), and the lady telling my my hair was a difficult length, she started on my wash. The wash took about 3 minutes total and in that time soap got in my eye, water was going down by back under my sweatshirt, and the lady's arm kept was against my face the whole time washing my hair. Odd but I ignored it. Once i sat down the lady started to detangle my hair (the way she wrapped my hair in the towel knotted it horribly) she was pulling so hard i started to get a headache. When it came to the cut, she just started to chop. she took about 5 inches off and then proceeded to ask me after if the length was okay. (well it had to be okay, my hair was already gone!!!) anxiously, i said it was okay and she started to chop "layers" she was chopping so much off and so fast i was so nervous. Then (disaster number 3) she started to blow dry my hair with this bristle brush that was scraping my face, neck and ears so much after my boyfriend asked my what happened to my cheek, it was genuinely scraped and i'm upset i did not think to get a picture of it in the moment. not to mention the blow drier burning my scalp every time she'd go for a different section. I'm not confrontational so i just sat it out and hoped for the best. when it was all done i put my glasses back on and looked. in the moment it looked alright but when i got to the car, i started balling. I've never had a worse cut in my life. she had styled it at the salon in a way where you couldn't see the mess ups. she put the front pieces behind me so they were sort of pulled back. If i had seen it like this at the salon i wouldn't have tipped; which i have never not tipped, im a huge tipper and believe in giving back to people who do you a service. I've been to this location maybe a handful of times within the past 8 years or so and have never experienced this and i'm never going back. Id rather a "hair stylist" deny a service rather than attempt it and mess up my hair. my hair is at least 6 different lengths right now and very very very uneven. i've never felt less confident after a hair cut i just want to cry. my mom is so upset over the hack job she did, i have to go get it fixed. read more

Won't be back. Got my haircut but one side seems shorter than the other so I went back to get it fixed.. The Stylist accused me of chopping at my own hair which I did not and came up with the hypothesis that perhaps I stunted the hair grows because I sucked on that side of the head a scientific theory I had not heard of before. Why can't some people just except a mistake and fix it. What happened to customer service? read more

I booked an appointment with Fantastic Sam's amazing stylist, Aiyana. She absolutely killed it and executed my vision perfectly, leaving me with vibrant purple hair. She even blew it out and curled it just to complete the look. She was so lovely to talk to and I would totally recommended her services! read more

This place is the worst place in rhodeisland. I went to the one in Wakefield, Ri , just too try it out becuase my usual one is closed on Sunday. She botched my hair and I am pissed, she was shaking and it looked like she was detoxing of drugs. That's how bad it was and I am not joking. A chunk of my hair is clipped off and it's uneven. I left before she could do any more damage . I Certainly will never spend my money at that place again. Ughhhhhhhhh!!! read more

Don't ever take a child there for a haircut!!! The hairdresser was mean as well as rude to our 4 year old. The woman had no interest in making this a pleasant experience. She didn't smile, try to engage our 4 year old, or say anything to help her feel more comfortable. She never said her name nor did she make any effort to talk with our little girl or to us for that matter. It was truly awful!!!! She should never be allowed to work with a young child! read more

I've been going to FS in Wakefield since my other long time Salon closed due to retirement of the owner.Because they also offer Sunday hours it fits my busy work schedule. I've gotten to know Natalia, Ellen, and some of the other women who have worked there a long time. I've always been treated respectfully and am happy with the cuts, they do my color also and it is well done-lasts 4-5 weeks no problems. It is clean and they try hard to move along and efficiently serve customers. NM read more

Worst customer service. Took two stylist 45 minutes to do a simple low bun. They were commenting on how slippery my hair was yet they only put in two bobby pins. It fell out 10 minutes after I left. When I called and let them know what happened they said someone would call me back. They never did. I called again and spoke with Ellen, the assistant manager and she said Melissa (the manager) would call me back. After going back and forth they eventually offered a blowout - which I didn't want, especially given my past experience. I asked to either be refunded or given a gift card. Melissa said that sounded appropriate and she would talk to the owner and get back to me. She never called me back. When I called I spoke with Ellen again, I explained that I felt like I was being blown off and they were ignoring me, she assured me that wasn't the case and Melissa would call me back. Surprise surprise, she never did. When I went into the shop Melissa said she had thrown out my number and wouldn't offer a refund or gift card. Avoid this place - if they can't do a simple low bun, do you really want them cut or coloring your hair? read more
