If you can put 2+2 together from my previous review, I've been coming to Samantha for over 4 years…read more She no doubt does an amazing job! She travels back and forth between home (MN), California, and New York just to do hair. It's safe to say she's got loyal clients all over the country! She's a master colorist and if you look at her portfolio the proof is in the pudding. Mmm....pudding. I figured after 4 years it was worth updating my review after making the big leap from natural to red (again)! I still love Samantha as much as I did the first day I came in as a new client. She always makes you feel right at home and is quick to give you advice on the look you're going for. 98% of the time I walk out of there feeling amazing and the very few times I haven't been so sure she was quick to make it right, with a smile on her face. For instance, this time, the first two blow dries after my color the red was looking a lot darker than planned (my hair REALLY pulls red, this is no fault to her skill). Despite being one of her last clients of the day (and the fact that she had a date to go on that evening) she didn't hesitate to make sure I absolutely loved what I was walking out of there with, date be damned, and we got it lightened up to the perfect shade. My only criticism, if any, is that she often overbooks herself and can be working on as many as 3 clients at the same time. Despite this, her time management is great and she gets it all done. But, Sam, girl, you gotta give yourself a breather so you can take care of yourself! Order the Jimmy Johns, woman! Don't hesitate booking with Sam but just know she's a busy lady and your experience may be a hair different (no pun intended!) from being in someone else's chair. Just go with the flow, be clear with what you want, let her know if something isn't quite as you wish (if applicable), and sit back and relax! Well.. you may not relax too much because Sam has always got some sort of amazing or gut busting story in her pocket.

I'm naturally very light but wanted to go dark for fall, instead she made my roots black that blended into a brassy blonde and overly toned blonde tips. I could tell it looked way too dark but she took me outside and took amazing photos so I thought it was just the lighting. When I got into my car I saw my botched hair job and cried the whole way home. Samantha offered to fix my hair but honestly I don't want her touching my hair again. I have to spend $400 to fix this black band she did on my roots. I'm not posting this to bash Samantha at all, I just wanted to share my experience. Note: As I said Samantha offered to fix my hair but for obvious reasons I didn't want her touching my hair again. I had to sit in a salon for over 4 hours removing the horrible color she put on my roots that were pretty damn close to black. I only asked for a refund two days after I got my hair done because the stylist fixing my hair said it was one of the worst color corrections she's had to do and told me I should get my money back! I had orange stripes all through out my head. The girl who fixed it, did AMAZING. If you're looking for balayage I definitely recommend the Beauty Room in Minneapolis! They know what they're doing!

I did go back for more color, and I was very satisfied with my second visit as well. It's been about 2 months. My color is still very vibrant, although I do use color safe products, try not to expose my hair to more heat than necessary, etc. Just booked my next appointment for the end of October.

After being a Spalon Montage groupie since college, I decided I needed to find a less expensive…read morealternative for my haircuts. I went in yesterday afternoon for a trim. After being greeted with a rough-looking, gum-smacking receptionist, I realized she was Claire, the stylist I booked an appointment with. Reluctantly, I sat down for my consultation. We discussed that I wanted a healthy trim of about an inch. She asked if I liked my longer layers and I said yes. As the appointment went on, I realized she was cutting a lot of hair. (Upon entering the salon, my hair was midway down my back and my first layer started at my shoulders.) She mentioned that my layers were cut strangely and so I figured she was cleaning it up. She kept cutting and cutting and I thought to myself "this is the most thorough cut I have ever had" but as it went on, it appeared that she kept trying to even up what she had just cut on one side of my head with the other side. It wasn't until I saw her take a LARGE amount of length of that I got really concerned. I proceeded to get a fair-at-best blow dry (the hairdryer was super hot on my scalp and I had to ask her to turn it down) and tried to remain calm when she showed me the final product. "Maybe once I style it myself it will look better" I thought. I live not too far away and I jetted home. I took another pass at it with my own tools and product and stood there in complete shock. My once flowing locks are now more like Jennifer Aniston circa 1995. I am beyond devastated that after I have been trying to grow my hair for years, it's now in the salon's garbage bin. I called the salon and spoke to Darrin, the owner. He was more than apologetic and offered me a full refund. He also did everything he could to assure me that that was not the type of experience he wanted for any of his clients. He listened and really seemed to care about my satisfaction. Unfortunately, it's too late and beyond repair. So, I don't think the salon itself is bad news, in fact, Darrin's customer service was incredible, but I would advise anyone to avoid Claire at all costs. I will be returning to my overpriced salon. At least before I left with all my hair.

She listens to you, she is a perfectionist, she is thorough and she's just the best at what she does. I went in there with a ombre/balayage. It was growing out and looking a little brassy. I asked for a cut that would fit my lifestyle: mom, no time in the morning to get ready and easy to style. I also asked for a balayage that would look natural and grow out to look naturally too. I don't have time to go to the salon every 2-3 months like my younger days. Sarah gave me the most beautiful color. When you go close up to my hair, the colors blend together like boyz 2 men singing a harmony. It was insane! The person who did my balayage before, did a good job, but Sarah did a perfect job. She gave me a cut that compliment my face and lifestyle. I walked out of the salon that day feeling like a million bucks. Not to mention I got stopped so many times by people, telling me how they love my hair and that I looked like a famous person (but thats another story). Talk didn't seem force, it flowed naturally. She's funny and extremely friendly. I would recommend her. I already told my friends to go see her. Her prices are reasonable. I just love her!!! She tells you each step what she's doing and at the end she gives you a mini lesson on how to style your hair. Who does that??!!! I love sarah and will continue to see her.

Parking is super easy and free, tons of spots since it's in a strip mall lot. Making appointments is incredibly simple and easy, you just go to their GlossGenius scheduling site and pick what services you'd like, then pick a day! You'll get a text confirmation after, and then you have to confirm your appointment before you come. That's helpful just in case you are apt to forget appointments, but I've never needed a reminder because I'm always so excited to come see her. There's a padded bench outside the studio just in case you get there early, and it's located very close to the bathrooms. You can follow both Janae and Camille on Instagram to see their work!!

The color that I walked away with is closer to the reference photos of what I didn't want. I walked out with brassy, warm, yellow, patchy and streaky hair when I requested light, ashy, cool tone, blonde highlighted hair. The color is not even, there is a distinct line patch in my hair that was not touched, and it made my hair incredibly dry and break off. The only reason I provided 2 stars instead of 1 is because when I brought my concerns to her regarding the color and feel, she gave me a two week window to reset the color darker.

Leah is very skilled, probably the most talented colorist I have encountered in my 15 years of getting my hair done. I was devastated when Leah moved me off her books. She did this to focus on her hair extension business, and referred me to Emily Radford. I am currently brunette, with the request to make my way to blonde, I asked for highlights and provided a few inspirational pictures. What I received was very minimal, I could not see a change in my hair aside from 2 chunky highlights at the front of my hair. I understand it takes time to break up brown hair, but i received was unexpected. I was charged $348. Emily is young, new in her career, which I was happy to give her a chance. Moreover, Leah, the owner of the salon has never charged me over $220, and would exceed my expectations. I am extremely sad with the results from this time around, or lack of results rather. I asked for the situation to be made, right, and resolved but Emily said since too much time passed she will not fix or refund. Yes, it has been more than 7 days, but my hair is the same as it was when I walked out of the salon on 10/19, its still brunette, with no highlights except in the front. It took me until today, 12/3 to find the courage to say something about the situation. Lavish salon will charge with you steep unreasonable, unjustifiable prices, without any explanation or preparation of price point. I was blind sided by the price of $348. I cannot afford this price point for my hair, and I am still in need of getting my hair corrected, and will need to pay another salon to make this right. I feel taken advantage of. Save yourself the $ and time, don't go to this salon. Service was on 10/19/23 - after photos from a month later 11/19/23 & today 12/3/23.
