Sam did an amazing job with my hair cut. I've been to many places and can't remember the last time I walked out of a salon loving not only my cut but also the styling. He is precise and a perfectionist! He took his time. It's difficult to find a master hair stylist. I highly recommend Sam and his salon. The staff are super sweet and helpful. Felt completely comfortable and will be staying at this salon as it is so hard to find good hair stylists in this area. Thank you!! I love my hair! read more

Been their customer over 28 years I never leave that place unhappy I trust my hair cut to Sam and Ofelia and of course my hair color and eyebrow definitely to Shake thank you all for keeping your costumers happy read more

I just got the cutest hair cut & color from Ofelia. She really listens to what you want. He did great cut and my color is amazing! I really like it. read more

I had an experience from HELL with OFELIA! Just look at the photos! She left ORAGE lines and spots in my hair, made the bottom of my hair GREY, and FRIED my hair! Ofelia told me she could lighten my ombre color. She tried and ended up leaving ORANGE LINES in my hair from her attempted ombre. After I told her how unprofessional it looked, she told me not to worry because it takes several attempts to get ombre (this obviously is far from the truth since I've gotten ombre before from an amazing hair stylist in L.A. named Lala. Lala was super busy so I tried Ofelia. Anyways, she left LINES of ORANGE in my hair and then she had to give it a second try (claiming it was part of her "process." She started putting more bleach on my not even fully dried hair (yeah - there were parts that were still wet). Then she washed it and OMG she put ORANGE spots EVERYWHERE in my hair and the bottoms turned out GREY. Look at the photos!! At this point, I started crying and called my mom to come since Ofelia was being very aggressive. My mom quickly came and was horrified. Ofelia, out of shock that there was now a second person to point out the disgusting mess she had created, told me she would give it yet another try (and of course, she claimed it was part of her ombre "process"). I went outside and gave Lala (my old hair stylist) and emergency call to ask what I should do. I was crying on the phone. She told me to not let Ofelia touch my hair further as the more bleach damage she did to it, the more impossible it would be to bring to a normal condition. I told Ofelia she was not allowed to touch my hair again. She then told me how lucky I was that she was only going to charge me $180 instead of more money. I was in SO MUCH SHOCK that I didn't even know what to say. That's probably not something you want to say to someone after you RUIN their hair with bleach. My mom and I, in our entire lives, had never experienced such unprofessional, rude, passive aggressive, and aggressive treatment. I told Ofelia I was not going to pay her and she told me that I was NOT allowed to leave her salon without paying her. Let me repeat this part again. She said I was NOT allowed to leave. So she coerced me into paying her. I came home and wrote a bad review about Ofelia on YELP which she immediately had removed, since I made a judgment about her character (this is in violation of Yelp policy). Then I filed a complaint with American Express. Ofelia, after ruining my hair, didn't even offer to give me my money back. She actually wrote to American Express several times and said how she had a policy where American Express could not deduct the money and that I should contact her directly. Something she knows I would not do as she coerced me into paying her. I had to pay Lala over $300 to fix my hair (she even put the before picture on her instagram that has over 15K followers to point out how bad some hair dressers are). So in the end, I paid over $500 to have my ombre lightened...something a good hair dresser could have done for $150-$200. I later had to chop off a great deal of my gorgeous hair because Ofelia had caused so much damage. Have a look at the photos! You will be ABSOLUTELY shocked. Based on my experience with her, I believe (again, this is my opinion) that a lot of her 5 star reviews on Yelp are written by her family and friends. I was in her salon for a long time and she didn't have clients lined up for her at all. No other clients besides me and she claimed it was because it was a week day...Lala has new clients every 30 minutes. She even has to have an assistant helping her. Probably because she knows how to do a GOOD job. Good thing I graduated law school because I will be suing Ofelia. I think she needs to learn that you can't treat people this way. You can't ruin their hair (orange spots, orange lines, and gray bottoms), lie to them about being able to repair it (only to damage it further), coerce them into paying, and then have the audacity to actually claim you weren't in the wrong with a credit card complaint. It's just too much, even for me to handle. BEWARE! read more

See all

I always go and get my hair done here and every time I love how my hair comes out. Thank you Sam for always doing a great job. I really appreciate it. Keep up the great job. From Crazy Hot Wings on foothill read more

Sam all the way ! I go here for my haircuts ! Been going by him for a while now even before when he used to be on Glendale blvd. keep it up Sam your haircuts seriously refresh my life! read more

Sam thank you very much for superb work! I am not blessed with the best hair, but I am certainly blessed with a great hair stylist! Your magical hands make my hair look healthy, fresh and full! And the amazing part is i can enjoy my styled hair for several days! Thank you so much! Very grateful and blessed to have you as my hair stylist. read more

Sam is absolutely the best. He knows how to run a business, how to please a client, and most importantly, HE KNOWS HAIR! I have been getting my hair cut by Sam for over 9 years now and I can tell you that his outstanding quality remains just that, OUTSTANDING! I have fine, long, curly hair, and he knows just how to layer it without butchering my cut. I do not look like a Christmas tree when my hair is left curly and I do not look like a scarecrow when my hair is straight - which is the problem I see many people face, I just keep quiet or kindly refer the to SAM. lol Months after a haircut with Sam, you will still experience the shape originally intended. Also, ever feel that the stylist blowdries your hair after a cut and it looks great, but once you do it yourself, it never works out the same? You will definitely not experience this with Sam. Need to dye your hair? Same notion goes for their coloring services; you cannot go wrong, if you go with Sam, or Ofelia. You will leave the salon with a smile on your face, eager to get out and show off your new look! read more

Just had my haircut today and it looks great as always! Thank you Sam! I've been going to Sam for a long while now. Both he and Ofelia are great. The staff and environment is very friendly and welcoming. Recommend them wholeheartedly! read more

I got my eyebrows threaded by Ofelia and I hated it the woman doing it was constantly distracted and charged more than where I usually go, I juste thought to do it here since I had my hair done that day. read more

I would highly recommend this hair salon. I have curly hair and Sam is the only hair stylist who is able to cut and layer my curls. I have gone to many hairstylist but it was one disappointment after another since none of them were able to layer my hair. Moreover, the staff are very friendly and polite and the salon is always neat and clean. read more

I just had my hair color done again by Ofelia, and she never ceases to amaze me. She seriously knows color, and knows hair ... and everyone always asks me who did my hair bc the color is always vibrant, unique, shiny, and just overall perfect. I have no idea what that reviewer Jenny is talking about because Ofelia is such a LOVING soul, and amazing human being. I have sent so many friends and family to Sam Pierre, especially to Ofelia, and we are always treated like family here. read more

I just walked in for a hair cut let me just say they did a very good job very fast and super friendly I love they're store super clean compared to other places I walked into I definitely will be back here for more read more

Big Big Big fan of Sam! His cuts always (ALWAYS) look great. I've never gotten a bad haircut with this guy. He's funny, friendly, and creative (operating word, creative). He has new ideas for trendy cuts. I trust him enough to let him experiment and again, it always looks fantastic. I'd like to not wait as long. If you're going here, just make sure you plan for about 2-3 hours of time. read more

I just want to take the time and thank Sam for always taking such good care of my hair every time I go. I love that he listens to what I want and he delivers to the point. I appreciate Sam's talent in cutting hair, and straightening my hair (in 30 minutes) and I have big curly hair! I always leave Sam Pierre feeling happy. I only trust his to cut/trim my hair. He is a true talent. Moreover, the staff there are super friendly and I feel comfortable every time I go. Thank you! read more

I am a picky person for who touches my hair and Sam is the only person who is that trusted. His cuts are PRECISION something that is not common among the hairstylists anymore. The salon is clean, simple, and stylish. Everyone who works there is kind, nice, and professional. Thank you Sam for making me beautiful!!! read more

A great place with dissent prices plus very friendly professional & modern ... love Sam & all co workers... I highly recommend him...

Behind every beautiful woman is a fabulous Hair Stylist! Thank you Ofelia, Shake and Sam!!!

I strongly recommend this place for everyone who wants to have a great haircut! Sam really understands the way your hair will be look great! He is friendly and kind! I have a great laugh and joy every time when I met him! What a great experience!!! read more

Sam Pierre hair salon is the best salon in all of LA. I have been doing my hair by Sam himself for the last 5 years and I must say there is never a time I don't get compliments on his work. The staff is friendly and very professional. With a modern and very clean salon it's easy to say I'll be loyal customer for a very long time. read more

Excellent staff, service, and reasonable pricing. Unlike previous hair studios I've been to, I never walk into Sam Pierre's with a feeling of fear or dread in my gut because the results are sure to please. They don't rush, snip-snap, and send you on your way - no, they actually take care of you. Sam is a charming man with a witty sense of humor. He has an undeniable talent and passion for cutting and styling hair. After going to Sam, he is the only person who my mother will let touch her hair - and for good reason. I also have no reluctance whatsoever with trusting his judgment, and that's saying a lot because I have very fine hair that an untrained hand cannot handle. Moreover, Sam taught me how to work with my hair instead of against it to achieve a hairstyle that I can wear every day. You just tell him what you want, and he'll make it happen - he honestly has the magic hand for hair. Ofelia is also great; although I have not had the pleasure of getting my hair done by her yet, she always provides a warm and welcoming presence in the studio. Rochelle, one of their newest employees, is of equal caliber. From her chic appearance alone it is easy to tell that she is a talented and experienced make-up artist; she loves to chat and will also make you feel at ease in the studio. I wholeheartedly recommend Sam Pierre's, looking forward to my next visit. read more

This one's for you Sam. I have had my hair done all over the country and never have I found a stylist that can work with my hair quite like Sam. I can walk in to the salon tell Sam to do whatever he wants and my hair will always look fantastic. I have never had so many compliments on my hair before visiting him. Granted I have never had green, purple, and burgundy hair before either but it suits me! Yes he gave me rainbow hair, but with a sophisticated cut and he did the color job with enough subtly that it just adds a fun touch to my style without being obnoxious or trashy. If you doubt it just ask Sam yourself to see the pictures. My wavy curls are easy to manage with the short hair do he gave me. The layers are just right, so wash and go is sexy and blow dried is classy. No matter where I find myself living I will continue to go see Sam. Once you find a gem like him, you don't give it up. Thanks for all the great work! read more

Sam and Ofelia are master artists! I have never been anything less that thrilled with the results of any service I have received here. I highly recommend Sam Pierre Salon for all your beauty needs! read more

Ok, I've had countless hairdressers from countless different hair salons cut/style my hair (why do I even bother going anywhere else???) and NO ONE has done a more stunning job than Sam at Sam Pierre. The best thing about him is that he's an artist and absolutely knows his craft. The newly located salon is very high end with decent prices. The vibe is very cool, the staff and stylists (or shall I just call them "artists"?) are totally chill and friendly. I have gotten more compliments on my hair than I have from anywhere else. I have a few friends and family members who get their hair done over there and they ALWAYS look amazing. His salon also offers all kinds of other services, so its not just hair. If you want to look HOTTER than you already do......you know where to go now. read more

BEST HAIRCUT IN LA!!! My wife and I discovered this place when we grew weary of driving into Hollywood to get "good" haircuts. Sam, the owner, not only gives good haircuts but they are great!!! I've had so many compliments. Sam told me he used to cut hair at high end places on Montana street in Santa Monica and moved out to Glendale to raise his kids. Treat yourself and get a great haircut. Prices are fair and the service and cut are amazing! Can't recommend it highly enough!!!!! Brian & Ana Paula & Sienna read more

I have been getting my hair cut by Sam for the past 20 years - seriously, that long! Ofelia does my color, and she couldn't be more wonderful.......I love everyone in the place, and walk out everytime feeling well taken care of, and knowing that I don't need to scrutinize my hair in the mirror before I leave because it's ALWAYS done right :)) I am a very busy mom who works, goes to school and I can go there basically whenever I need to and am always 100% happy! As a testatment to their far-reaching effects, my mother comes from northern MN to visit about 4 times a year, and sees Sam and Ofelia EVERY TIME she comes - now that's loyalty, baby!!! read more

First of all, understand that an average man desiring a quick haircut walking into an "upscale hair salon" for the first time is already a fish out of water. That said, I decided to try Sam Pierre's place on Verdugo instead of my usual place based on the location of the salon and good reviews on Yelp. Upon walking in, I noticed that the place was decorated in a trendy/hip fashion, and there were women and girls getting their hair trimmed and colored. However, I was not greeted by anyone upon entering the place (not a "hello, how are you, welcome!" or even "Hi, give us a second and we will be with you"). I walked the salon to the back (!) stainless steel hemisphere desk where a woman was talking in an angry tone to someone on her cell phone. One of my first thoughts was "Why isn't the reception desk right out front and staffed by a greeter?" I thought she might be the receptionist, but she turned out to be a stylist and she went back to working on a customer without acknowledging me at the counter. A man briefly walked by me (Sam, presumably) and gave me a quick look with no communication while he went to work on another customer. I stood awkwardly at the back desk while waiting to speak with someone for 30-45 seconds. The man-in-black returned to speak to me about my haircut needs. I asked him if he could fit me in and he said "no, not right now, maybe in a hour." He gave me a card and told/asked me to come back in an hour, or make an appointment. Although he was fundamentally polite, I left feeling unwelcome. Mr Pierre: I fully understand that women are $$$ and men are s@#! in the stylist business. You are so close to our house that, if I had been acknowledged with courtesy by ANY ONE of your stylists or you, and had been made to feel fairly welcome, I probably would have not only come back, but suggested that my wife try you out as well. If you had treated me well, I might have asked about the Yoga studio in the back and became a paying member. You lost our business, and you lost business for the Yoga studio. Acknowledge EVERYONE who steps in your door, even if just to say "Please sit down for a moment and we will help you." read more

I had a few haircuts with Sam and if you are lucky enough to like his style of cutting then you will be OK. If, on the other hand, you ask for something particular, within the realm of reasonable cuts, you may be disappointed. At $65 per cut it is too much disappointment for me to bear another time. As a person, he seems nice. read more

Well, the hair is growing out finally - however, I have had better haircuts and for the price, it behooves me to try another place out!

I've been blessed with great hair and most hair dressers love working on it. I have to agree that Sam is an artist who know his craft and as an artist myself that is important in any creative field. I was referred to him by someone I trust and has great hair, and that is why I decided to give him a try. The important thing with him is he knows HOW MUCH to cut in porportiion to your features. I allowed him to chop off some long locks but it came out looking fuller and longer. Again, working in porportion to your features is important and he know how much to make you look GREAT! read more

I got a great hair cut last night from Sam! I live in the neighborhood and found Sam Pierre on yelp. Based on the the great reviews, I decided to give it a try. Making an appointment was easy, which this mom loved! Since it was for a same day appointment, I called and was given an appointment with Sam. He was able to squeeze me in at the end of the day. No wait, and I got a great cut and blow dry (straight) in under an hour. Sam is very personable and clearly very talented. I am getting great complements on the new do and will definitely go back in the future. A true gem in north Glendale! read more

I selected Sam Pierre based on Yelp reviews. They did a great job on my fine, wavy dark blonde hair. Ofelia created a beautiful bright blonde and Sam whipped out an equally as sharp hair cut. I have "Danger Hair" now---it's pretty hot. After one visit I totally trust their ability to do whatever they think best! read more

What can I say except that OFELIA IS A GENIUS! I went to several expensive salons and wanted a more natural blonde look and to make a long story short made me look awful, the colors did not go with my skin coloring at all and the way they did it would force me back into their salons every there weeks for maintenance - I really can't afford that especially from these Beverly Hills Salons. I did a lot of research to find a salon that had great reviews and wasn't going to force me into bankruptcy. I liked their website and also Ofelia has blonde hair so I thought she must know what she is doing. I went in their nervous and started showing Ofeila pictures of the hair I wanted on my phone, she quickly said she knew what I wanted. I was skeptical b/c I had shown these to other top L.A. salons with no use. I was so nervous the poor girl washing my hair must have thought I was a freak b/c I kept trying to take pictures of it while she was washing it what color it was. When all was said and done, I wanted to cry, it was absolutely perfect!! I didn't even show her picture that was what she did and she did EXACTLY what I wanted ( I think she's a bit psychic ;) Also she did it in about half the time the other salons took. I am sooooo happy I have found a wonderful salon with wonderful people and a relaxing environment . I am so happy!!! read more

My husband and I tried Sam Pierre for our haircuts yesterday and loved the results!! First and foremost, the studio and staff were extremely inviting and chic! We enjoyed their company and professionalism. We couldn't believe how fast we were out of there, and with amazing new looks! Also, Ofelia did an AMAZING job on my eyebrows; she definitely has an artistic eye! I look forward to going back for a color change with her soon. I'm also going to try their workout studio "Alpha Fitness Chalet"! read more

Love this salon. Ofelia is remarkable....Recommend all of the stylists for hairdo, eyebrow, etc. I always feel welcome- outstanding customer service :) read more

Sam...Wow...Great artist... His gentle touch makes the experience so relaxing... Fast yet gentle... Super creative ... Transformed my looks totally... From playful and curly to elegant and classy-Straight hair with sexy bangs... Completely New look... My coworkers, even my best friend had hard time recognizing me... Thank you so much Sam for your artistic and creative talent... Looking forward to the next adventure... I do love my new look. read more

I have been seeing Ofelia for a little over a year now and I would never trust anyone else with my hair or eyebrows. She is an amazing woman and knows everything about her profession, the talks that we have are always so positive and she knows just what to recommend for any style!! She is a miracle worker on eyebrows and I always feel confident when she is working on me. Love her!!! read more

Ofelia is terrible at her job. Let me start by saying Ofelia has ruined my hair by messing up the color so badly. She is very unprofessional and rushes through applying color and does a very sloppy job. read more
