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...

Great hair coloring 2/22/2008

Great atmosphere. Very relaxing. Sweet stylist, Mary! If you are looking for a hip and upbeat salon, try them. You will be pleased and look terrific upon your exit! more

First time, but won't be the last! 2/13/2008

First time at SC and I cannot be more pleased. I have gone to the same upscale salon for 9 yrs. and not that I was unhappy with it ,but decided I wanted to try someone who might have a fresh approach and see what would happen. Ashley was fantastic! I love my cut and will be going back for color next week. I have no doubt it will be as great. I have found my new place! more

Great Ambience, skilled staff and worth every penny 2/4/2008

I highly recommend Samuel Cole Salon. After having a horrible experience at a nearby Salon, I finally did encounter a contemporary, pleasant atmosphere. They were able to correct both my color and cut. I love they way my hair looks now. more

My hair was fixed! 2/3/2008

I went to a friend's hairdresser (not at SC) )to get my long hair cut short, and I was told by her that I shouldnt cut it short and I came out with a bad haircut. My husband was coming home that night, and after not seeing him for a month I wanted to look smoking hot! Pros: price was what I paid in NY, $45 for a cut and blowdry Cons: Feels very high end when you walk in, and that sometimes can be intimidating more

You will be spoiled w/ the service and leave with a great cut and/or color; they are fabulous!! 1/29/2008

Last week I went to Sarah, one of the stylists/colorists at Sam Cole; she and her apprentice did a great job on my hair and spoiled me with a couple of drinks and a scalp massage. But, best of all, I didn't walk out with a scary green/gray tint on my highlights, or orange/brassy highlights! I've had nothing but compliments on my cut and color, which I haven't had in years. I've gone to ""color specialists"" and ""Color Experts"" all over the Triangle, as well as all over Europe...and this is the first time I've ended up with hair I really like. Yes, it was a little expensive, at least for me; but, since I don't have to go somewhere else to get the ""green"" or ""brassy orange"" highlights fixed, it turns out to be a good deal financially. If I were a stylist/colorist, I would probably be intimidated at the thought of taking a customer who told me more about what they ""didn't"" want (than what they did)..but Sarah rose to the challenge and exceeded all of my hopes and expectations. I'm definitely going back; I probably won't move away from Raleigh, as long as she's working there! Pros: Great ambience, well-lit parking lot right in front of salon; friendly, competent care! Cons: I didn't end up needing to be pre-medicated, after all! more

Be prepared to experience the BEST! 1/25/2008

Recognized as the 1st runner up in North America by Salon Today Magazine Samuel Cole offers a unique experience suited to your individual style. All the stylists are extremely talented and knowledgeable. Be prepared to enjoy your experience while in their expert hands. I recommend Samuel Cole 100%. Obviously their other clients do too as is evident from their other user reviews! Pros: Everything more

The one and only time I have EVER trusted some one with all my hair. 1/20/2008

I am so glad that I chose this solan to go to. I cut off 10 in of my hair and donated it to Lock of Love. This is the shortest I have ever had my hair and I am LOVING IT!!!! I even had her put some color in my hair too. This was a big step for me too. (I have never had my hair died, well except for once when I was 13) If you are looking for a place where you can trust someone with your hair... go to Samuel Cole Salon!!!! I will never go any where but there. Now all my sisters are looking foward to trying them out too. I am a pastors wife and so I have told every body about them to our church. I am looking foward to going back!! PS Ask for Mary. Pros: You feel like a Holly Wood Star Cons: Prices are a little high.... but it is worth it! more

My Best Hair Ever 10/24/2007

Thanks to Erin at Samuel Cole, my hair looks the best that it EVER has. I'm from Chicago and upscale salons are not new to me. I used to frequent a salon on the mag mile and was very happy with my stylist before I moved. But he doesn't hold a candle to Erin in terms of sheer talent! I felt confident throughout the experience that I was in expert hands. I have always wondered what it would be like to have a stylist like the celebrities do -- someone who makes you look great no matter what -- and I feel like I finally found out with Erin. The ambiance at Samuel Cole is close to perfect. It's obvious that a lot of thought has gone into it. Everyone seems genuinely interested in making the occasion worthwhile. But the most important fact remains that -- if I can generalize from my experience with Erin -- the stylists are top-notch. I feel like a million bucks (again thanks to Erin), and that feeling is (as the saying goes) priceless. Pros: Professional expertise; great atmosphere; people who are interested in providing a worthwhile experience more

Your repustation should be my good looks 10/11/2007

I have had a really hard time finding a great stylist since moving to Raleigh. I have tried several salons and just haven't been happy. Someone recommended this salon to me so I thought I would give it a try. I am torn in my review because there were things I liked about the salon but since the ultimate outcome was my hair that is what I am going to review. My stylist was personable and we talked a bit about what I wanted and some issues I had with my hair and it seemed like she had some good ideas. It looked nice when she styled it but the next morning when I got a hold of it I wasn?t at all pleased with the look. The layers are frizzy and to light so when humidity hits it all is wants to do is frizz. It doesn?t frame my face well at all and ends up poking me in the eye half the time. She stated that the cut she was doing would give me some needed volume but it still remains flat. It looks and feels so bad that I end up having to pull it back into a pony tail. I don?t? have that wonderful, ?I just got my haircut? feel. I would go in to see if they could fix it but I will be heading out of town for 2 weeks. I guess my search is back on for that perfect cut. Pros: Parking, decor, staff, product Cons: haircut not what I wanted, seating more

Cool, modern decor; friendly staff; great talent! 10/10/2007

I visited Samuel Cole salon today for the first time. I've had a hard time in the past finding a stylist or salon I was happy with. I met with Erin for a cut, style, and 3/4 highlights/lowlights. She did an excellent job! She was so sweet and talkative--I enjoyed getting to know her. She took the time to talk with me about what I wanted, what I was doing with my hair now, and what I'd like to change. She offered suggestions, and took my concerns into account. She used several products, and explained what they did, but did not push me to buy any (this has been a pet peeve of mine at other salons). I was a little nervous going for something new, since I've had the same color and style for so long. But I am so glad I went for it. I LOVE my new cut and color! Vist Samuel Cole Salon, and request Erin! You won't be disappointed! Pros: Convenient location, friendly staff, talented stylists. Cons: A tad pricey, (but you get what you pay for!)..that's all I can think of as a ""con!"" more

Finally found great hair salon 9/15/2007

I've been in Raleigh since 1985 and this is the first time I've actually found a hair salon and stylist that I really feel good about. I was researching online and saw the great reviews of the salon. I needed a new hairstyle, so I made an appointment. As luck would have it, I was signed up to see Britt. She is great! This is the first time in many years that I've actually been pleased with a new hair cut. She really listened to me and gave me a style that works well with my face. The cut even looks good when I style it myself. Thanks so much to Britt for all she did. If you're looking for a new stylist and want to be sure that you'll be happy with your new cut, go see Britt--You'll be glad you did, I know I was. Thanks! Pros: Great atmosphere, Britt Cons: none. :) more

In Jack I trust 9/11/2007

I had my first appointment with Jack last month for a cut and color. Even though we had had a consult, he took the time again to go over my expectations with the highlights and cut. I felt very comfortable and at ease with him right away. The highlights (we used 3 colors) came out perfect and complimented my natural dark brown hair. I was a bit worried about the cut, because I really just wanted a trim to keep the length (other salons I went to had a different idea of what a trim was), but Jack gave me just what I asked for, and immediately built my trust. I have been getting rave reviews about my hair color and have recommended him and the salon to anyone that will listen! I will definitely be returning and am so grateful to the users at Citysearch for posting honest reviews that convinced me to try this wonderful salon. Pros: new design of the salon, Jack, parking Cons: cold, unfriendly receptionists, didn't realize you had to leave a cash tip more

Best hair salon 9/7/2007

If you need a great place to get great hair, then Samuel Colen is your choise. I had been going to Charlotte to have my hair cut (I recefntly relocated from Cornelius to Wake Forest) but it was becoming sort of a hassel, so a friend of mine here recomended me to Samuel Cole. more

Always Perfect 7/30/2007

I have been to many stylists but I found Jack Ray about 5 years ago, and have never been disappointed. The color, cuts, and styles are always above expectations. I moved out of state last year bc of business and have been unable to find someone as great as Jack Ray!!I I recommend Samuel Cole 100% and I am very picky when it comes to color, highlights, and cut. JACK always made my hair perfect. The staff are very attentive to you and are sooo pleasant!! I read reviews of price and just remember you pay for what get, and it is well worth it!! more

Good but not worth the overpriced fees 7/27/2007

The stylist had great ideas and my hair looked good when I left, but it cost me nearly $300 with tip to get hair color root touch up, some highlights with toner and a cut/style. If this isn't enough, my hair color has already faded quite a bit and it hasn't even been a month. Even if my color hadn't faded so much, I can't imagine going back to a stylist where I have to pay $100/hour for service. Pros: Stylists are creative Cons: Overpriced, Color doesn't last more

Great customer service, Best Salon service in North Carolina! 7/25/2007

I am new to the area, (From NYC, been here 2 weeks) I have been seriously searching for a hair stylist in North Carolina that can maintain african american hair. I have been going to salons for about 10 years and this was the best experience I have ever had. I made an appointment for Erica, who took me @ 1:30 on the dot! Very customer friendly environment, I love the fact that I was offered a beverage when I came through the door. Erica was very knowledgable on my hair products. And the massage shampoo was AMAZING! I made an appointment in 2 weeks for color. LOVE the place, LOVE the atmosphere, I am hooked. Thanks Erica. Pros: Great Top scale salon for affordable prices (compared to NYC) Cons: Only in North Carolina more

Got a great haircut!! 7/24/2007

I searched and searched for the perfect salon and found it! I am new to Raleigh and wanted a new, totally different haircut. I was VERY nervous about going somewhere unfimiliar but chose Samuel Cole based on the great reviews on city search. I had a great experience, Britt cut my hair and although i was very indecisive about what i wanted, she made the experience enjoyable and VERY VERY VERY worth it. The prices here are EXCELLENT not to mention the wine or beer they offer when you first arrive! Pros: Great ambience, free wine, professional, accomodating, friendly!!, great prices!! more

Great haircut and customer service 7/21/2007

I recently had my cut by Erica at Samuel Cole. I am very very pleased with the cut and the style that she gave me. When I first called for an appointment for the complimentary consultation, the receptionist ask me several questions regarding the cut I was wanting. After answering her questions, she said she felt Erica would be a good match for what I was looking for. Boy, was she right! At the consultation, Erica took the time to really find out what I was wanting in cut and style. She suggested that a razor cut would work well with my hair and asked if I had any problems with her trying that and I didn't. We also discussed highlighting my hair and she made several suggestion. Feeling comfortable with Erica and her suggestions, I made an appointment. Before I left that day, Jack , the owner, came over and introduce himself to me and welcome me to the salon. The evening of my appointment, Erica went over the things that we had discussed at our first meeting to be sure I was still comfortable with the razor cut and the style. . She told me what products she was using and their benefits. The razor cut she gave is great and easy to care for. In the mornings, I just dry and style my hair using my fingers and it just falls into place. I like the complimentary parrafin hand wax. I found everyone in the salon to be friendlly . There was no pressure to buy the products that were used. I will probably try some of the them when I finish up what I am using now. I am looking forward to my next appointment when Erica will highlight my hair. Pros: customer service, friendly, great cut more

Above and beyond ANY Triangle salon 7/19/2007

I have been going to the Samuel Cole salon now for about a year and recently had my curly hair blown straight for a special occasion. I normally see Sara who was booked during this time (thanks to all of these fabulous reviews!) but the appointment staff worked hard to get me in with Britt. I could not have been more pleased with her and my experience overall, as has ALWAYS been the case when I visit Samuel Cole. Britt welcomed me as if I'd been seeing her the past year, asked me questions to be sure she knew exactly what I wanted for the evening, and did an AMAZING job with my hair. She even took the time to work in a few jeweled hair accessories that I had brought with me, even though I forgot to mention I had them until we were almost finished. She was graceful, professional, incredibly sweet, and most importantly, TALENTED. I now feel confident recommending that my boyfriend and close girlfriends (all of whom go to Sara at Samuel Cole thanks to my endless praise) book with Britt as well. It started to rain during my appointment and when I mentioned I'd left my umbrella at home, Britt said Jack (the owner) would be happy to lend me his, and indeed, it was waiting for me when I checked out. I am always amazed to see anything less than a raving review for this salon, but understand that it can be a challenge to make everyone happy all of the time. What sets this salon apart from any that I have been to is their commitment to make the client happy. When I see a review from a client who left the salon less than totally satisfied, it's followed by a prompt response from Jack to remedy the situation. I have NEVER seen or heard of a salon bending over backwards to make people happy the way this salon does. Kudos to Jack, Sara, Britt and the rest of the staff for doing an outstanding job. You will always have a client in me and my friends. Pros: the staff and owner (Jack), professionalism, commitment to quality work & client satisfaction more

Highly Recommended 7/19/2007

I went to Samuel Cole after several bad experiences with other reputable salons in the area. Ashley took the time to listen to my ""hair history"" before diving in, which I really appreciated because I think that helped her decide the approach she should take to correct the mess that I was bringing her. Also, since I am pregnant, my hair is changing and she took the time to teach me styling techniques to deal with my newly curly locks. She explained each of the products she was using and the benefits of each, without being pushy to purchase all of them. Overall, it was a great experience and I feel like I've finally found a stylist I can stick with! Pros: Service, Ambience, Experience more
