I have been going to Nikki (Veronique Breault) for the past few months and I have never had such a great hair cut! She cuts it exactly how I want it every single time! Nikki actua...

There's a long list of things in life I dislike. Paying 230 for highlights and a cut that look, well, bad is on it. I saw Michael. He was nice enough and based on our consultat...

Sharon listens and offers advice 10/23/2008

I checked out Samuel Cole the other day for just a wash and dry. I'm glad i did. I told Sharon my hair was totally flat and needed help for an afternoon of client meetings. She showed me the products to use, how to use them, and then how to use the brush and the hairdryer to get the fullness that i desperately try to achieve. Altough i didn't buy eveything she recommended, she certainly wasn't pushing products on me which was nice. I did get the BB hair spray that she recommended and i love it. It has a light hold. Sharon was a sweetie too - really nice to talk to - made the time go by faster. The salon itself is very clean, bright, and modern. Loved the sinks - they actually felt more comfortable on the neck. I even had the opportunity to meet the owners who were also really nice. You can tell they take pride in their salon and they appreciate their customers. I'll certainly be back. Thanks Sharon. more

best hair salon in the Triangle! 10/22/2008

I had been to just about every hair salon in the Triangle area in the past 8 years of me living down here and had less than stellar experiences. I found the Samuel Cole salon after my hair frustrations had finally reached its peak and I was once again researching salons online. I made an appointment for a free consultation with Britt. She took the time to sit down with me, analyze my hair and listen to my concerns. I scheduled an appointment with her to have my hair styled two weeks from the date of the consultation, and the rest is history. She was extremely friendly and provided me with great advice for caring for my hair. I already scheduled my 6 week follow up hair appointment and can't wait! I would recommend this salon to anyone who is serious about having their hair done the right way. The atmosphere is great and the staff is extremely knowledgeable, professional and friendly :) Thanks so much, Britt!! Pros: open late, great service Cons: doesn't accept AMEX more

Ask for Sarah 10/17/2008

After reading Citysearch reviews for Samule Cole Salon I decided to give them a try. I advised the person that answered the phone that I had extremely thick hair and she recommended Sarah. She did me a big favor! I have been to Sarah twice and have been extremely happy both times. She treats me like I am her only client. She listens to my concerns and offers plenty of suggestions. She has a great personality and puts everyone at ease. She explains the different products and shows me how to use them. The ladies that assist Sarah give the best shampoos. So relaxing! Sarah, the ladies that assist her and the front desk receptionist are always cheerful, no matter what time of day it is. Give Sarah and the staff at Samuel Cole a try. I don't think you will have any regrets. Pros: Sarah, products & location more

Great hours, service and Jess 10/1/2008

I called to make an appointment after getting a terrible haircut from another salon. They had a few stylist available for that next day and I remembered reading about Jess on here so I decided to go with whatever she had first available. She was great! She listened to what my problems were with my cut and showed me and explained to me why i was having those problems. We had to take a little bit of length off but amazingly when she was done, my problems had been fixed. I can not thank Jess or Samuel Cole Salon enough for squeezing me in and doing such a fabulous job! I feel like everyone should visit Jess or anyone in that salon!! Pros: love the salon Cons: tips in cash or check only more

Ellen is the BEST stylist! 9/24/2008

On Sept 5, (2008), I went to Samuel Cole Salon for the first time. I had called earlier that morning to schedule an appointment for the future. The woman who helped me on the phone was super nice and listened to what I was looking for. She matched me with Ellen who fortunately had an appointment early afternoon. I have very thick and curly and am always hesitant when meeting new stylists. She was so friendly and personable. She listened to what I wanted and looked at the pictures I brought. She explained her process to me so I would be in the loop. She gave me her opinion of the cut I wanted based on my hair texture and facial features/shape. But before the cut we went to the color bar to get the desired shade. She took such good care of me and it literally is a bar. It's so cool! She got me a drink and magazines while my color did its thing. She washed my hair in the most comfortable chair ever (you know how you lean back and it hurts your neck and your back gets uncomfortable-this chair NEVER does this). The head massage was wonderful. Afterward, because I was a new client, I was given a free parafin hand wax. So relaxing! We were finally ready for the cut. Ellen again talked me through her opinion of the style I was looking for and in the end went with her recommendation. It of course, came out beautifully and I constantly get compliments on it. I have a detailed list of products to use and in which order. There is no pressure to buy but they keep it in your file so when you come back they'll know which product your stylist suggested. AND they take back products if you don't use them. How great is that? They also have a 14 day guarantee to come back if you're not satisfied with your cut. I have 2 days still to get my hair cut shorter and will report back if I do. Just make sure to bring cash for the tip(or check). Believe me, its worth it!!! Pros: personable stylists, fabulous color bar, competitive cut prices more

best hair colorist 9/20/2008

Yvette is great!!! This is the first time I have felt compelled to write an online review. And it is good news. What am I saying? It is fabulous news. Several months after moving to Raleigh, I knew that I needed to do some research in order to find a good hair colorist/stylist in town. I waited as long as I could (7 months) because I've always known that it takes time to learn about these type of things. I was prepared to try a few places (with couple of sad mistakes along the way). But this time, I was lucky. When I scheduled my first appointment at the Samuel Cole Salon, I found the most professional, knowledgeable and caring service with Yvette. If you need a professional who will listen and will try to please her client, carefully guiding you through the array of new hair products and techniques, call and talk to any of the friendly people at Samuel Cole and make an appointment with Yvette. more

Great Stylist, Good Service!! 9/15/2008

I moved to Raleigh, NC 2 1/2 years ago and since then I've struggled to find a good hairstylist. I have chemically relaxed African-American hair, so finding the right stylist who understands the texture of my hair has made it even more challenging. I used City Search to find this salon and based on its 5 star rating decided to give it a try. When I called on Sept. 10th, I asked the receptionist if there was a stylist there that had experience handling my hair type, she immediately recommended Erica. They even made a special effort to fit me into her very busy schedule and then called me on the day of my appointment, Sept. 13th, to see if I wanted to come in earlier. When I arrived the staff and the stylists were very welcoming. Erica took the time to listen and discuss with me all the options for my hair, recommended great products and most of all took the time to explain to me during each step, what she was doing and what products she was using on my hair. My cut was great, the service was great. I highly recommend this salon and Erica to anyone. I truly think that I have found a great salon that is actually interested in helping the client to maintain healthy hair and well as a happy attitude about their experience. Kudos and many thanks to Erica and the Samuel Cole Salon. Pros: Great staff. Everyone there was easy to talk to and willing to help. Cons: None. more

Best salon in town! 9/9/2008

Having naturally curly hair, I have struggled to find a great stylist who really knows what to do with curly hair. Before finding the Samuel Cole salon, I had hair styles that were just OK. Nicole Lumaye has changed that! She is a fantastic stylist who really took the time to talk with me prior to even touching my hair. I absolutely love the cut she envisioned & receive LOTS of compliments. I feel like a model!! Pros: Glass of wine! more

I love my hair!!! 8/30/2008

I've dealt with my unruly hair for years.Upon doing research for the japanese straightening technique I ran across reviews for this salon. I called for a consulation with Jessica and she listened to my concerns about my hair and the troubles i've had on humid days, rainy days etc. She told me this treatment would help me to avoid the fear of frizz on days such as that, and the 1 to 1.5 hours i spent straightening my hair every day. My experience during the entire treatment was great. Each procedure was explained and I walked out satisfied. I love my hair now. Which is something i could not say before. The treatment is expensive but so worth it! I chose this salon based on the satisfied people I found during my research who have had this procedure done before. I would not trust anyone else! Thank you jessica! Pros: The atmosphere more

Jessica! 8/27/2008

Jess is great! I started going to her a little over a year ago and honestly have never had anyone do my highlights as well as she does them! They have never turned brassy or faded like others have in the past. In the beg. she recommended some really great products to help get my blonde hair back into shape and i have never had longer, shinier or healthier hair than i do now! Jess is great at her cuts and colors, you should def give her a try! Pros: jess and lots of drink choices more

Outstanding and quality hair service 8/27/2008

When I first moved to the Raleigh area this past July, I was hesitant and nervous to find a new hair stylist and salon. I used the Bumble & Bumble website to find salons in the area, then used citysearch to read customer reviews. My stylist is now Sara B. and she has an amazing personality along with incredible talent for cut and color. I am only 33, but would have a full head of gray hair without color - she was thoughtful and thorough at my first session! She even taught me how to pull my hair up into an up-do I'd been wanting to try (I'm very 'hair-styling challenged')! While I will always miss my old stylist when I'm homesick, Sara and all of the employees at Samuel Cole make me feel incredibly comfortable and very glad that I chose their salon. It's a classy, comfortable salon. Edit: Two years later (November 2010) - Sara is still my stylist and I cannot tell you how many compliments I get on my color and cut! Very pleased. I also look forward to seeing *her* at my appointments. I'm still quite satisfied! Pros: Ambience, Service Cons: Parking more

Love the salon and Love Nichole 8/27/2008

I am a long time client of Nichole's and Samuel Cole and I just wanted everyone to know how great she and the salon are. Everytime I see Nichole she listens to all of my neurotic hair issues and makes me look beautiful each time. My cut and hilights are always perfect . I know coming to her I will not have to style my own hair for the next couple of days. It is such a treat to go see her. Thanks Nichole See you soon. Pros: wine wine and more wine : ) Cons: can not leave a tip on a credit card more

Did not handle complaint well 8/22/2008

I had high-light and low-light weave done but product was not applied all the way to root - so I had regrowth problem within 2-weeks. I asked them to retouch at least top at my part...but they would offer nothing to assist. No discount on reservice (which was way to early after spending sooo much for a ""treat"") or just to retouch roots at the part to get some longetivity for the service. Nothing. The operator was rude and suggested that if I thought it was too much money to pay for service again, maybe I should go somewhere cheaper. Which is exactly what I did and and was just as happy with the results. more

I LOVE JESS 8/13/2008

I have been to Jess several times now and she is great. I have never had a compliment on my hair until I started going to Jess. My color is great and my cut is cute, in style and easy to style! I love going to see Jess because she always remembers what we talked about the last time and really seems interested in my life and makes me feel very important. Go see Jess she will work with what you want and your lifestyle and will really care how you feel! Also she is great with children who are hard to handle, my daughter finally doesn't mind getting her hair cut anymore because Jess makes her feel so comfortable, and they get a 100% better cut than any of the children cutterys. Pros: Jess is great more

Nichole Rocks!!! 7/31/2008

I went to Nichole for the first time today, she was recommended to me by a friend. I was really nervous at first but Nichole's friendly personality instantly put me at ease. I had been doing the same blonde highlights and boring bob haircut for as long as i could remember. I didn't want anyhting too crazy i just wanted the color and the style to be more up to date. During the consultation we discussed that my highlights just looked really washed out so she suggested i add more gold and honey peices to add dimention and help bring color back into my face... and we decided to cut my shoulder length bob up to my chin and add layers to create a style...I was still nevous but after a coulple of hours my washed out boring bob was transformed! I couldnt have been happier with the demention in my color and and my cut sooo cute and really easy to style... Thanks Nichole!! see you in six weeks... Pros: better than i could have imagined Cons: expensive more

Nichole is the best in Raleigh 7/30/2008

I have been lucky enough to have Nichole as my stylist for a while now and have been meaning to write a review. I get complimented on my hair all the time and feel like I am constantly handing out her card. On a recent trip to LA I even had someone stop me to tell me how beautiful my color is. She listens and always gives me exactly what i want and gives wonderful suggestions. I am never nervous and always up for anything she thinks we should try. The salon is so pretty and relaxing and the entire staff is in smiles. She always works with my time constraints and within my budget. There is never any pressure to spend more than I can.... everyone should go see her. Thanks Nichole and Samuel Cole. more

Beautiful salon, Jess 7/29/2008

I started going to Jess because a friend of mine was going to her and I loved her hair. I went to Jess and she totally made me over! Completely changed my color to match my skin tone and compliment me and the cut was amazing too! She really listens to what you want! Go see jess and you will become a huge fan too! Cons: bring cash for tip, no tip on credit card more

Worth moving to the area! 7/27/2008

A year and a half ago, we were considering moving to Raleigh from Orlando. One of the first things I did was get on Citysearch to find the best salon in the area; it worked when I moved to Orlando, so, why not? That was in March of 2006 and I haven't gone anywhere else since! Pros: great staff, pretty facility, convenient location Cons: tips can't go on charge cards, hot towel service would be nice for the guys! more

Samuel Cole : Best salon in the Triangle 7/26/2008

I was in desperate need of a haircut and so I decided to try Samuel Cole Salon. This was my first visit but definitely not my last. Everyone in the salon was very warm and friendly. I got a cut and color from Ellen. It was awesome! I wasn't sure what color I wanted so I told her my ideas and she listened to everything I said. She was very attentive and percise while we talked about my options. We did the color first and then the cut, I was a little nervous seeing the color wet but after it dried I couldn't believe how well it matched my features and just made my whole face glow. She then cut my hair, which I wasn't too sure about how I wanted that either. Ellen was very patient and talked to me about waht she would do before any cuts were made. What I LOVED the most as that she talked me through exactly what she was doing as she did it... so that when I got home and had to do my hair myself, I knew EXACTLY how to style my hair the way she had done it. It was a wonderful experience unlike any other haircut I've had. Ellen blew my previous stylists away with her positive, friendly, and patient attitude. She cut exactly what we agreed on and no more than that. It's hard to find a stylist that cuts your hair the exact length you want, most of them that I have had cut my hair way too short. The salon itself was very relaxing and a great environment but Ellen definitely made the experience a positive one. I will definitely be back to see Ellen. Pros: Relaxed and professional atmosphere, Ellen, patience and understanding of the stylist Cons: The salon was on the side of the plaza and at first I passed the salon, but drove through the plaza and found it. more

Excellent Salon Experience 7/17/2008

I had my first experience with the Samuel-Cole Salon yesterday- I went in for a haircut and color and I was not disappointed. I started with Yvette for my color and she was incredible. Super easy to talk to and she took the time to describe what she was thought would look best. The end result was perfect; just what I wanted! more
