I went to Samuel Cole Salon for the first time last weekend. I scheduled an appointment with Erin, because I was told by the receptionist when I first called that she was great at short haircuts, and I was going from long hair to a bob. When I arrived for my appointment at noon, I was told by the receptionist that they'd moved me to a different stylist, and that they weren't aware that I specifically wanted Erin. I explained that I wanted a stylist who excelled at short cuts/ bobs, and she confirmed that Erin would be an excellent choice for that. She apologized and said that I could come back in an hour and Erin could see me then, or I could see another stylist right then. I decided that it was worth the wait to have Erin cut my hair. She was great. She took time to find out what kind of bob I was thinking about, and why. She offered suggestions and her opinion on what cut would look best for my hair type, face, etc. She was also very friendly and down to earth. I was a little nervous about making such a big change to my hair, but I felt confident in Erin's skill and craft. She spent a good amount of time on my cut, explaining what she was about to do at each step, and why. The haircut turned out great, and I've already had many compliments on it. I was given a discount upon checking out, since there was a slight miscommunication at the beginning. I will definitely go back to Samuel Cole Salon. The atmosphere is also very nice. I highly recommend Erin for haircuts.
Pros: Erin, Atmosphere
Cons: Receptionists' organization
