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...

Hip, cool, awesome haircut/color!!! 5/10/2008

I was looking for a new stylist after being with mine for 12+ years. I read the reviews on CitySearch, chose Samuel Cole based on the reviews. I called up and requested Jess, Britt, or Erin!! Receptionist was VERY nice, both on the phone and in person. Jess had a cancellation and I was in two days later. I told her what my issues were with my hair, what I didn't like, what I needed based on my lifestyle etc. She listened and I left with a FANTASTIC color and cut. Jess spent a LOT of time with the cut and style. I was impressed!! When I came in I had frumpy Mommy hair and when I left I had movie star hair. Thanks, Jess!!!! I will be back!!! :-) Pros: Well-trained stylists who listen to what you need/want! Cons: None! more

I love this salon!! 5/7/2008

Britt is WONDERFUL! She is a true artist. I've never been happier with the color of my hair! I only had a general idea of what I wanted but she talked with me and told me what she thought would look best and she did an incredible job. Pros: the talented stylists, relaxing experience Cons: price, but you get what you pay for more

A+ in every way! 5/1/2008

I signed up for Citysearch soley to tell others about my amazing experience at Samuel Cole. My stylist Yvette transformed my monotone, brassy hair into a beautiful, dimensional head of highlights. Yvette is very sweet AND one of the best colorists I have ever seen. She is so easy to talk to, gives honest adivce and works magic with color! Everyone from the front desk staff, to the owners Jack and Joelle, to my stylist were an A+ in every way. I could not have been more impressed or happy. If you are you looking for a wonderful salon -go to Samuel Cole. I am so glad I did. I absolutely love my new look and the great comments from friends/family about my new hair!! Pros: A+ = SC! more

Upscale Atmosphere with VERY friendly staff 4/30/2008

I have to say that this is by far the BEST salon that I have been to. Everyone was so friendly! Nicole gave me the best haircut that I have ever had! The complimentary paraffan hand wax was a nice touch. If you are looking for a new place to get your hair done, you won't go wrong visiting Samule Cole!! Pros: Upscale atmosphere, friendly staff, felt very welcome and had a great experience. Nicole is the best! Cons: None! more

as long as my hair looks great... 4/23/2008

The outside is not what makes the salon....no one (business or individual) wants to be judged solely one the outward appearence. Sure they don't have big flashy signs or whatever else you expect to see but look around them...the rest of the stores in that location look the same....it's probably manditory for them to keep their store front looking similar to the rest. I've always been so happy with my hair and the the experience and yes sometimes something may not be 100%, but chances are you'll get that at any other salon and may get even less for your buck. more

Expensive for what it is. (based on 2007 haircut) 4/21/2008

First of all, the salon looks terrible from outside. Lights are broken and it looks really run down. When you get inside, it's beautiful. My appointment was in the evening and you could tell everyone wanted to go home. The receptionist was cleaning up and ignored me a bit, then chatted to the stylists about leaving. My stylist kept talking about leaving; couldn't wait to get out of there. The other stylist there swept the floor and complained a bit while I was there. My haircut turned out okay - it was hard to style and overall I wasn't that pleased with it. It was expensive for the service and style I received and they also wouldn't accept tips on a credit card which made it difficult for me to leave one since i didn't know that before coming. From what i saw, it seemed like a bunch of young girls, newly licensed, in need of some management. more

Nice Haircut, Good Color, Nice Salon, Snooty Receptionist 4/18/2008

I had a cut and color done at Samuel Cole and really enjoyed the experience. Jessica was awesome; a great conversationalist and did a very nice job on my hair. I loved the fact that she informed me of what she used on my hair, but didn't try and strongarm me into making a purchase. Overall the service was fantastic. The majority of the staff seemed wonderful. I was promptly offered a drink when I arrived, and I received lots of smiles and ""hellos"" from staff members as they walked by. I thought that was a really nice touch because it revealed the overall positive vibe of the salon, and generated a lot of goodwill, in my opinion. Pros: nice atmosphere, mostly professional and service-oriented staff, friendly and ultra-competent stylist (Jessica), 45.00 for a haircut and style, and great drink choices! Cons: rude, snooty receptionist and uncomfortable sinks more

Just don't leave a message 4/18/2008

Had a trim here while I was growing my hair out from a super short cut somewhere else. They were fine, trimmed and shaped. Then after it grew out I decided to actually see about a consult for actual design. Left two messages, they never returned the call. Oh well. more

Best Hair Salon in Raleigh 4/10/2008

This was the best experience I have had at a salon in years. I was a little nervous because I had not changed hairstylists in over 10 years. My anxiety was put to ease as soon as I walked in the door. The staff at the front were so professional and extremely friendly. I was asked for a drink and was told that my hairstylist would be with me shortly. I met Erin (my hairstylist) and she was so professional, friendly and beautiful on the inside and out. I felt like I had known her forever. She went through a thorough consultation with me about what I wanted to do with my hair and gave me her advice and opinions as well. It was great to see someone with so much enthusiasm. I told her to go ahead with the color and cut she thought was best for my skin tone and facial shape. She went with it and spent the most time anyone has ever spent on my hair. It turned out gorgeous!!!! I can't say enough about what a wonderful hairstylist Erin is and what a wonderful experience I had at Samuel Cole. You just have to go and see. It is sooo worth it!!! Pros: Everything more

Great first and second impression! :) 4/9/2008

I have been to Samuel Cole salon twice now, once for cut and highlights and again for a trim. I had Jessica and she was fabulous. She was great at holding conversation and constantly made me laugh but also realizing during the haircut I just like to relax , so she did not talk my ear off like some other stylists I have had in the past. I will def be returning to Samuel Cole salon and to see Jessica for my next visit and many more after that! Pros: great staff and stylist all around more

Money well spent! 4/8/2008

I've been going to Samuel Cole's for a little over a year and would recommend it to anyone. My family and friends now use this salon and I've not once heard anything negative about the service or experience they have received. On a personal note when I arrive at the salon I'm greeted by familiar faces who seemingly remember who I am and who my stylist is without asking. My color and cut is always perfect. I walk out each time knowing that my money was well spent. It's also nice to see the owner's walking around interacting with their clients and the stylist in the salon. more

First Impressions Gone Wrong 4/4/2008

My 1st impression was wonderful, and I loved my stylist. My colour was just perfect and the service was excellent. When I returned for a follow-up, the receptionists were aloof and rude. I couldn't get a hold of my original stylist, and the stylist who was asked to help me was not very friendly (hence her departure, I'm sure). I bought products, and the receptionist had forgotten to place my item in my bag. I had to drive 30 minutes to get it. It was annoying, but not a deal breaker. I returned for a 3rd visit to touch up my colour only to find out that they scheduled me on the wrong date and blame me for it. I had an event two days prior to my hair appointment. Why would I make it 3 weeks after the fact? In addition, my 1st choice stylist was again out and I got another substitution... which was fine until she gave me a colour treatment I didn't want. My first colour treatment was just fine so I don't understand why they felt the need to give me something I *didn't* request. If everything is in their database, then do the exact same thing. Plus, I heard my stylist talk about my looks... and what was said was very insulting! I was so livid and embarrassed that I paid my bill and just left. I didn't want to be make a scene, so I didn't bother trying to get a refund but now I wish I did because I paid for something I didn't want. I am so disappointed and hurt. I've never been so poorly mistreated in my entire life. I felt like I was taken advantaged of. It is a very capable salon, but it seems to be a hit-or-miss with their customer service. My advice is to make sure you know what they're charging you for if you're not using your usual stylist. I really wish I could get my money back, but I don't want to step back into that salon ever again. more

Nicely done... no pressure 3/25/2008

Jessica listened to my requests and did the job well. She pointed out available styling products but did not pressure me into buying anything. This was my first time here but will definitely consider returning for my next cut. Pros: Nice staff, service, and ambience. Cons: A little pricey (But everyone deserves a little pampering treat sometimes). more

Best colourist I've found in 10 years!! 3/24/2008

I'm visiting from Florida and didn't know where to turn for a colourist. I found Samuel Cole through City Search and thought I would roll the dice. I am so pleased that I did. The energy of the salon is excellent and the staff warm, friendly and happy. The color techniques used are leading-edge (I haven't found anyone to do Baylage since 1999 in Sydney, Australia and believe me, I've looked). Pros: The staff will make sure YOU are happy! Brilliant, leading-edge colourist Cons: A bit of a distance from where I'm staying more

Fabulous stylist Jess 3/14/2008

I will start off by saying the salon is absolutely beautiful and everyone is always so friendly. Jess does my highlights and hair cuts and I have never been anything less than absolutely thrilled every time she works her magic! She's full of energy and smiles and always gives me exactly what I want. I must say I have never found a stylist to be so consistent with my hair until Jess. Go visit Samuel Cole Salon and ask for Jess! Pros: Great Stylists and Great work more

Awesome! 3/13/2008

When I first moved to Raleigh, I started going to Samuel Cole Salon and LOVED it. But, when my particular hair dresser moved to a different salon, I decided to try somewhere closer to my home and work. That was a mistake! I had some horrible experiences (mainly at haircolorexperts at the Arboretum-don't go there!!). I needed my bad, short blonde haircut/color fixed and wanted it done right, and I wanted to go back to the atmosphere that I loved at Samuel Cole. So, I went to Erin, and she was amazing! She took the time to talk to me about what I liked and didn't and gave me her ideas of what she could do to fix me and make my hair stylish. She said that she would make me love short hair again, and she did! The outcome was great!! My color is beautiful and the cut is perfect! I will not be going anywhere else!! Plus, the service is great from everyone that works there. And who doesn't love being able to have a glass of wine while they get their hair done?!?! Its well worth the drive! more

BEAUTIFUL SALON - TALENTED STYLIST 3/12/2008

I would like to start off by saying that I am familiar with paying top dollar for my hair. It is important for me to look the part and I think when you come across a good hairstylist, IT IS PRICELESS!! I had been shopping around for quite sometime when my daughter told me she would be trying someone that a friend had recommended at Samuel Cole.. I told her to let me know how it went. Well she looked great and couldn't say enough about Britt. I went and made an appointment and well, now I can't say enough about Britt! She is wise beyond her years, making conversation very easy. This girl has talent, fresh ideas and a great personality. I told Britt that I had been to the ""best of the best"" in salons all over the country and that they have nothing on her. I leave the salon feeling like i spent the day with a friend who had fun making me look fabulous!! Pros: great selection of products more

Good haircut, poor stylist communication 3/10/2008

I visited Samuel Cole salon last week for a haircut and style. My stylist listened to what I wanted and was perfectly friendly. Because it was raining, she suggested that a curly style would be more appropriate because my hair has a tendency to frizz (but not curl). I agreed, and she proceeded to slightly blow-dry my hair. I expected her to finish up using a curling iron or a round brush to define my style, but instead she led me to the front of the store to encourage me to buy the products she had used on my hair, and then straight on to the receptionist, where she said goodbye, and it became clear that she had no intention of further styling my hair, which I had requested when I made the appointment and paid for. I realize now that I should have been more assertive, but I felt a little out of place to request more of her time if she had another client waiting (I had not been late, so there shouldn't have been a time issue). I'm pretty disappointed by the fact that I ended up walking out of an upscale salon with wet hair after paying a considerable amount of money for a cut AND style. I haven't yet decided if I'll return. more

A++ Salon. Amazing stylists. Super friendly staff. Overall great experience! 3/3/2008

I went to Samuel Cole about a month ago. It was my first visit, and I decided to go solely based on the reviews that I had read on citysearch. So, you can imagine that I was a bit apprehensive prior to arrival. Well, my fears were shortly relieved upon entering the hip salon as the receptionists were super friendly and welcoming. Most important, Ashley, my hairstylist, did such a great job! She listened to what I specifically wanted (highlights for my fragile, fine blonde hair), and delivered. I have received many compliments on my hair since then. Also, I didn't get a cut or blow-dry, but they had a great station set up with haircare products, dryers, and styling tools. I will definitely be returning to visit Ashley soon. Thanks so much!! more
