I have been in the area close to five years and until I met Carolyn I was totally unsatisfied. If you are looking for a cutting edge, up to date, fashionable cut that works for you then you have found the right girl at the right salon.
You rock, Carolyn!

The bill was never itemized, so I don't know what I was charged for and why there was such a wide range. The haircut was fine and the staff very nice, but given the high price, and particularly the unpredictability of it, I'll find a place closer to home.

I spent years fighting the urge to pay for a "real" cut and style and only once or twice (my lady charged a whopping $20.00 and was adequate). Luckily, I have matured and slurged on Sara. It was well worth it, becuase as I knew all along, there is a difference between an adequate cut and a great cut! Her personality is great, the con...

The owners are very nice, professional and talented people and are very selective abut the staff they choose. I typically see Jack, the owner, but I have had several "emergencies" when I needed my hair colored immediately and he was not available. The other colorists are well trained and I felt comfortable with them.
There is no attitude and no pressure t...

However, when I called and Jack, the owner, became aware of my dissatifaction, he and his staff did everything to make it right. I am now a loyal cu...

They fit me in an a moment's notice (on a weekend!) and my stylist (Erica) was wonderful. She asked me about myself, my hair, what I wanted - and actually listened.

But then I moved to Raleigh and Sara Beard happened. Sara has held my hand and encouraged me to experiment a bit with both and I've loved the results. She gives me a cut with a youthful edge that fits my lifestyle and my facial structure. I always feel b...

After explaining to the stylist I wanted all over highlights a very light almost white blonde color.

I will definitely be back!

Samuel-Cole's staff was friendly, I was greeted by a young lady named Kellie who provided drinks and candy, and I enjoyed my experience.

Read More On Citysearch cabkirch 8/27/2005 - Wonderful Service & Even Better Hair CutIt is hard to find a stylist that will cut your hair the way YOU want it, and when you do, you never want to let them go. That is how I feel about Erica. When you walk into the salon it is warm, friendly and inviting. The girl at the front desk will offer you a drink (water, soda, beer or wine) and there are M&M's to munch on in the waiting area. You'll get a wonderful shampoo that will relax...

Carly is truly amazing. When I come in and sit down I can really tell that she has a vision for my hair. A plus for her is that I am willing to try anything she suggests and I have given up salon hopping. Every single time I have not been disappointed. She not only cuts my hair well...
Read More On Citysearch sirlancelot 8/15/2005 - A Match Made In HeavenI have been going to Carly Blinson for three years. Carly is GREAT with color. I love the way she colors and highlights my hair, always changing it around subtly so it doesn't get "stale" or "old." That's great for people like me who are afraid of drastic changes. But, I've also seen how she has the ability to do funky and fun highlights on the more adventurous staff and other customers. Sh...

Read More On Citysearch krtedrow 8/1/2005 - User review by jodavisI was butchered! But not at Samuel Cole Salon. Sara was an absolute angel when I arrived (very tentatively) in her chair. She took the time to listen to what went wrong (somewhere else, mind you), look at pictures from my better hair days and start a process toward fixing what had gone wrong. It takes a very special stylist (and personality) to work with curly and coarse hair. Sara is just t...
Read More On Citysearch jodavis 8/1/2005 - The BestAfter being a sales rep for a salon supply company, I think I have been in most every "upscale" salon in Raleigh. I knew Samual Coles reputation, but worked with other salons and wanted to give them my business. I tried people that had "the reputation" and no one gave me a cut worth the money or after 2 cuts they lost their edge. And then I found Sara. She is fantastic! I have been going to...
