Went into the place to get a cut and color today. I wanted my hair to have multicolored layers. Dark red on the underside and light strawberry blonde on top. My hair was it's completely natural brown when I went in. I showed her a picture from online of exactly what I wanted. What I got was basically uniform red on the bottom and my natural dark brown on top with some dark red streaks, no blonde what so ever. Total cost with a liter pair of color protect shampoo and conditioner was $293.72 on receipt. I don't have a problem paying what it cost to get my hair done nicely but if I'm going to pay $250 to get my hair done then the least you could do is wash all the dye out of my hair. She stood on the left side of the sink and only washed the dye out of the left side of the bottom of my hair. On the bottom back right she left a massive amount of dye in my hair then she blow dried it. She didn't even see it until she was done and I held up my hair to see what I got, then she just used a cotton ball with something on it to 'get it off my skin,' forget the fact that there is a ton of it still in my hair. I also have these lovely raccoon like patches of read around my face. I'm going to go scrub this in the shower to try to get it our of the part by my face cause I don't want to go to work on Monday looking like this. Update: I went back today and asked her to fix it. She added some blonde highlights and bleached out the part around my face but it still doesn't look nice. I give her major props for not asking for more money and trying to help the customer but overall still not real happy with the color job. read more

Fantastic Sams on Washington St & Van Buren Blvd I had set an appointment up and was able to be accommodated for the same day. I requested to get a stylist that was good at doing color and I was not disappointed. I gave it a 4/5 because I had a quote/consultation the day before and was given a different quote than what I paid for. It made me a bit frazzled because I had my heart set on my budget but I am glad I got what I paid for. My stylist was Tiffany and she was able to accommodate and apologize for being given the wrong quote and also explained to me all the different options within each price range. Since I had dyed my overall hair myself in June she informed me she wanted to do a test strand to make sure that the bleach would take on my hair and that it was the requested/wanted tone. I am glad she did, it gave me a perspective on how my hair would take the bleach but also she didn't just rush into bleaching my hair without knowing how the chemistry would blend with my previously dyed hair. She was very patient with me being able to answer my question but also taking the time to explain to me the difference between a partial weave and a heavy weave highlight and also going in depth about what an "ombre" hair color looked like and how that would be more since it is in a different bracket of highlight and considered more of an all over hair coloring. The hair salon was clean nice music, Tiffany made sure to check on my hair and let me know how long I would be under the dryer. As she bleached my hair she told me to let her know if she was pulling too much or hurting me. She made great conversation with me and made sure I was being well taken care of. The peek a boos turned out great! Better than expected also the color turned out better than she expected without the toner! She gave me a recommendation for my hair cut to show my new highlights the best and also cut my bangs like a pin up girl. I really appreciated Tiffany for being very professional, making me feel comfortable, giving me recommendations on my hair, and also playing it safe and being sure that I was comfortable with the quote before going forward. I will definitely recommend this fantastic sams and will stop by for my next trim & color! read more

Waited for 45 minutes for this place to open on Easter Sunday. Sign says open @ 10, it's now 10:15. Big banner saying "open Sundays". No sign anywhere about being closed on Easter, not in the windows, door, nowhere. Thanks for wasting my time. Glad to make your first review 1 star. read more

I wish there was a 0 star rating. Basically my hair was ruined. I told the stylist I had virgin hair and there was no interaction about what I wanted or no professional recommendations. So no, I would say they aren't professional. I expected recommendations and more ideas from the stylist. But I walked out with disgusting hair. And when I went back the next day to get my hair dyed back to "normal" hair color, the stylist gave me RBF and attitude the entire time. Would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. read more

Fantastic Sams by Washington are awesome the one by loving totally messed up my hair left it pink bad experience and they are not to friendly to be honest when you walk in... Here in Washington Amanda and the other hair dresser forgot her name was so nice and she fixed my hair for free... Amanda does what she feels she's comfortable doing and gets a second opinion with the other stylist to correct my hair and allowed the other stylist to do it which shows she does care that you get the best hair possible.... Love it I would definately come back to this fantastic Sams...very kind and professional... Know what their doing! read more

Fantastic Sams Hair Salons - Fixed my hair thank you guys! - Hair Salons Near Me - Riverside, California

Took my 14 year old for a hair makeover the day before starting high school. We didn't have an appointment, but Elishia was able to take her right away. She got the full treatment- wash, cut, blow dry. It is GORGEOUS!!!! Elishia was so sweet, even putting up with my obnoxious picture taking (come on, my girl HAD to update her Instagram...). Anyway, Elishia did a wonderful, professional job. The cut is flawless, fun, and adorable. The whole staff there is professional, and so nice!! LOVE THIS PLACE AND LOVE ELISHIA!! P.s. For the poster Jason S who gave this place one star simply because they weren't open on Easter Sunday... Guess what, hair stylists have families, too. Most places are closed Easter Sunday. That review was completely unfair. read more

Fantastic Sams Hair Salons - Great service, great hair stylist!!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Riverside, California

Staff very friendly and attentive to clients walking in. Greeted upon walking in. Happy I was able to walk in with no appt and request a perm. A staff member took me to a station to see if my short hair would be long enough to have curler wrapped it for a perm. She was great. I wish I wouldve got her name. Within 20 min Taylor got started on my body wave perm starting with a shampoo. She is very friendly and I showed her pic of more or less of what style I was trying to achieve. She did a great job. Thank you Taylor. Love the body wave perm and haircut. read more

Good luck. Go somewhere else. They told us $19.95 before the cut then the price somehow went up to $36 when it was time to pay and somehow couldn't take the $3 off yelp coupon either. What a waste of money! So frustrating! read more

Betsy was fantastic! She was amazing, recommended color and products, and I love the way my hair turned out.

Very very disappointed, took a cut, then styling and not the hair cut I ask for, having a picture on hand. It looks nothing like that. There environment is nothing but scary, every cut they do they look at each other, making you think the mess up lol. The guy was nervous when cut my hair, he keep me with hair on my face most part of the time, no wonder I couldn't see what he was doing. And at the end just left giving him a very small tip. I'm not going back. Hair can grow but mean while I'm stock with my ugly small hair cut. read more

Omg!!! My experience with these ladies was amazing. Billie always does my hair and she is the best! She never does my hair wrong. I never go anywhere else to get my hair done. I would highly recommend coming. I live in Norco and I come out here just for the great service. I would definitely just come to hang out with these ladies! read more

My first time ever walking into a fantastic SAMs. Staff super nice and place was clean. Asked for Diana because other reviews suggested her. She was friendly and gave my 9yr old daughter the cut I was looking for. Came out beautiful. I will defiantly be going back and asking for Diana. read more

I walked in and was able to get my cut and wash right away. Debbie was good, she was able to understand what I wanted. I just didn't care for all the upsales offered. read more

I went in and had Brenda. She was nice but did a terrible job. My hair was very choppy and uneven. A man was there working and noticed she was having trouble layering, but she refused his help. I had to get my hair fixed the next day. I'm very disappointed in my hair and I don't feel confident in how it looks. read more

Sorry about that Jason. Were truly sorry for the inconvenience it caused you. I would hope you would give us a second chance. I sincerely apologize. read more

Thank you Michelle for doing such a great job. I love the layers and the style! We'll be back! Janice

Just stopped by about an hour ago for my first haircut in years. I will come back, loved the costumer service and got a awesome haircut!

This hair salon is a great choice if you are looking for a clean up or anything else you could need. The device here is exemplary and you could not ask for any better service but I do recommend that you make an appointment if you know it'll be busy but if there is a wait it is well worth it. read more
