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...

Disappointed repeat customer - updated 8/8/07 7/7/2007

I had my second appointment today, but being new to the area and having been there only one time, I got lost. I tried to call, but no one answered and I had to leave a message. Ten minutes or so later, someone finally called me back. Despite stating on the message that I was lost, she did not offer me directions but rather just informed the the stylist would be unable to do my hair since I would be 15 minutes late. She said the stylist's next appointment was already there (they schedule 15 mintes apart??), so I would need to reschedule. I told her I couldn't as I am getting married this weekend and offered that she didn't have to wash it since I just had. I was then told she could do a wet cut, no drying. This was unacceptable to me as I have curly hair that I wear straight and I need to see it dried, so then she said someone else could dry it, but if it needed adjusting, I would have to wait because she would be with someone else. At this point, I was so frustrated I just told them to forget it. I didn't want someone rushing through a haircut, handing me off to someone else and then possibly not being able to adjust the cut after it was dry. Not the day before I leave to get married - forget it. She just said ""oh, sorry"" and that was that. And, in all that time, never once offered me directions or assistance and I was still lost. If they had answered the phone, or called me right back and helped me, I wouldn't have been lost. And I find it really hard to believe that they schedule appointments 15 minutes apart. I have only been once, and did enjoy the cut, but I will be finding somewhere new. Obviously they have so many clients they don't need me anyway. Pros: Nice salon, nice cut, owners quick to fix a bad situation more

NEVER HAD A BETTER EXPERIENCE!!! 7/4/2007

I met with Carly. Not only did she ask if I wanted a drink on a very hot day, but she listened to what a guy nervoulsy tried to tell her about his lack of style. She put me at ease regarding my retreating hair-line, gave me a shampoo that almost felt like a massage (nice!), told me the story of the salon, sold me on the creative and personal integrity of everyone associated with Samuel Cole, talked shop about our similar interests, suggested some products without making it a big deal, and gave me a cut I wake-up every morning with and go ""yeah"" to for a very reasonable price. Pros: They will do what you need. Cons: I don't know about their coloring or highlights, but the ones being performed looked great. This is the cons section, but there are none and I wanted to be sure to include this. more

Wonderful Experience!!!!! 7/3/2007

It seems I'm always searching for a good salon, more importanly a great hair designer. I think I found it at Samuel Cole Salon. . . I don't live in this area. I'm visitng from out of town but I'm here often so I decided to take a chance. I called for a same day appointment and was suprised to find the receptionist very accomodating. . . walked into the salon that afternoon and within a few minutes was greeted by my hair designer, Meghan. She took me to her station and proceeded to ask me a slew of questions; everything from the type of style I wanted to the different moods of my hair. She was very attentive and patient. She spent time playing with my hair, assessing the best cut for me. When we decided on a style, she pulled out her comb and scissors and began cutting. . . SLOWLY, almost methodically; watching my hair fall in place. She suggested hair products to use but did not pressure me to buy anything . Overall it was a great experience. I deem myself to be very picky, especially when it comes to my hair. I've gone to several hair stylists over the years and always found myself going back to my same hair dresser in Mt. Washington, MD. I now have choices!! Meghan was wonderful; great customer service. I will definitely go back!!! Pros: Very Attentive, great customer service more

Costly Mistake 7/2/2007

I have to stay that it cost me over $200 to fix their mistake. I had to go back to the salon I went to before which was out of state. After relocating to the area, I thought I could find a great salon my reading the reviews. Not the case. I asked for one color and received something very different. They offered to fix my hair, but I have to admit I was afraid for them to wreck it any further. The worst part about my experience there is that I no longer trust anyone in Raleigh to do my hair. I should have known when others made a face when I mentioned the salon. The lighting also makes your hair look different, I gave the person a great tip and i only wish I never would have gone there. My hair will never be the same. Go to a different salon, any have to be better than this. more

Best hair color I have ever received! 6/25/2007

I went to Samuel Cole this weekend out of desparation! I feel like I have tried every salon in Raleigh and either have been unhappy with the color or have had experiences with the stylist not staying at one salon for an extended amount of time. I called to make an appointment on Friday and Ashley was able to see me on Saturday. I just had a bad hair job done about 2 months ago (I really am not a high maintenance person, but my hair was hyperactive after the job vs. its usual sandy blonde!!) and Ashley not only got rid of all the brassiness, but left me with the prettiest color blonde that I have ever had! I truly appreciate her talents and will definitely go back to Samuel Cole! I hope to make this a great hair stylist-salon relationship for years to come! Thanks for everything! more

An all-around excellent salon! 6/20/2007

I'm originally from LA and moved to Durham for college, and I had a lot of trouble selecting a hair salon. I went on Citysearch and saw that Samuel Cole had very good reviews, and I decided to give them a shot. My stylist was Meghan, and she was absolutely wonderful. I went in kind of having an idea of what I wanted (I had carmel highlights originally with dark brown hair, and wanted something different but wasn't quite sure where to go with the color), but Meghan took the time to listen and offered very helpful suggestions until we finally decided on something. When I was done, I was amazed because the color turned out way better than I would have expected! The salon was very inviting and the decor was beautiful. The stylists all seemed very enthusiastic and sociable. I'm usually very picky when it comes to salons because I've had a handful of hair mishaps, but I was really glad I gave Samuel Cole a chance because I am so happy with my hair and will definitely come back. more

Great color salon, #1 stylist (Britt) 6/12/2007

I moved to Raleigh about a year and a half ago and needed to find someone to continue highlighting my hair. I took a chance and went with Samuel Cole Salon after reading all of the good reviews on CitySearch. I just called them up and asked to be set up with anyone...I was so fortunate that I was scheduled with Britt. The first time I went in, my roots were growing out and she asked me what I wanted done. I told her I just wanted my hair to look good and to still be easily manageable (I have two kids to keep up with) and to do whatever she thought would be best, and she worked her magic...I was really confused with all of the different color treatments she mentioned, but when she was finished, I thought ""boy, she really knows what she's doing"". She did an amazing job,and I have returned to her ever since. Britt always gives me a teriffic cut, color, and style, and I have never left unhappy. She is a great stylist with a wonderful personality, and she really listens to what you have to say...I would highly recommend her to anyone. The salon itself has an upscale feel to it, and you are treated like a special person from the moment you walk in the door. If you're looking for someone to do a great job with your hair, you should definitely visit Samuel Cole Salon, and ask for Britt. Pros: upscale feel, timely appointments, good parking, quiet location, excellent service more

Great haircut, good atmosphere 5/15/2007

I went to Samuel Cole looking for someone to rectify the mistakes of my former stylist. I was also looking for a change, but nothing drastic. I explained this all to Meghan B., who listened and gave helpful feedback as to what she planned to do. I absolutely love my new haircut and will definitely return to Samuel Cole. The only downside to this experience was the price for a college-budget, but the result was worth every penny. I highly recommend both Samuel Cole and Meghan B. more

Best Salon 5/8/2007

Wow, thanks Sara for your wonderful work once again. My girlfriend looks good to me to begin with, but you took her beauty to the next level with your skills. She walked out of the Samuel Cole Salon looking like a movie star. I am stoked as always with what you did for me as well. Pros: brand new beautiful location, Great designers, Refreshments, Cons: non more

Simply the best! 5/5/2007

I have been going to Samuel Cole for about 2 years and get my hair done by Nikki G. I will never go anywhere else as long as she is there! I change my mind a lot about my hair - length, color, etc - and Nikki is always up to the challenge to get what I want...and always succeeds! I have had so many people ask me where I get my haircut and they are always happy with Samuel Cole. I love how they're always striving to keep their customers happy. Try it, you'll love it! Pros: People, professionalism, atmosphere Cons: Music can be weird sometimes, but it ends up making us laugh more

Awsome Hair Experience 5/4/2007

Before I came to Samuel Cole Salon, I searched and searched reading review after review trying to figure out the best place to go. I came across a couple of really good reviews for this place, and let me tell you, they were right! I've been about four or five times now, and I don't think I'll be going anywhere else anytime soon! The last cut especially is what prompted me to write this review. I was in need of a change. A big change. So I brought in a picture of some things that I liked and my stylist, Britt, took those things and taylored them to fit me. She did a wonderful job! Better than I ever could have expected. The best thing you can ever do is tell you stylist some things that you like and trust them to be creative to find a style that works for you. And the whole experience there is great. You can sit and relax sipping on a glass of wine, while they work their magic. It really is a great experience there, and if you are looking for a new place, do what I did and give Samuel Cole Salon a try. If you don't like it, you can always try somewhere else, but I really don't think you'll want to :) Pros: awsome service, they listen to what you want, reasonable prices for great quality Cons: none! more

Awesome Hair Salon Experience 5/2/2007

Samuel Cole Salon is a very relaxing experience. Everyone is so friendly. I have had curly hair all of my life. I never thought that I had many choices of hairstyles. Jack Ray sat me in his chair and asked me what I wanted to do with my hair. I totally left it up to him. He gave me a very easy and stylish haircut and used a flat iron on my hair. It is so fun to do something totally different and besides that, people tell me that I look 10 years younger. What's not to love about that!! The salon has been remodeled and is very vogue looking. I can't forget about the hair wash. I have never had such an awesome wash. Most salons stick your head in the sink, do a quick wash, and they're done. At Samuel Cole Salon, they take their time to massage your scalp. It truly is wonderful! Pros: Wonderful services! more

Excellent cut and color--Carly is great! 4/29/2007

I tried several salons in the area before coming across the Samuel Cole reviews on Citysearch. I have been going to Carly for over a year now, and I feel compelled to add my two cents to give her the credit she is due. Carly has given me the best haircuts of my life, not only in my opinion but in the opinions of my mother and my three fashionista sisters. (This includes the upscale Atlanta salon I used to frequent back when $50 was a lot to pay for a haircut.) I think my hair looks good for two reasons: correct product usage and taming my wild wavy mane with some type of razoring device. In response to the reviewer who wrote that Carly ruined her hair with a razor, I say she has worked magic with that thing! Carly tells you and writes down everything she is using on your hair, although I've never felt pressured to buy anything. Pros: Carly, new expansion and redesign of the salon more

Great hairstylist, great service 4/25/2007

The reviews are absolutely correct....Sara is great! Sara was friendly and knowledgeable. She recommended great products and took the time to show me a different way to style my hair curly. I have received many compliments on how good my curls look. Thanks Sara! Pros: Friendly service, stylist was knowlegble, great products more

Best haircut & highlighting EVER! 4/18/2007

I would highly recommend Patrick at this salon. He has been highlighting and cutting my hair for about a year now, and has given me the best haircuts I have ever gotten, and I say that in all sincerity. I rarely had comments made about my hair in the past, but since Patrick started cutting it, I get many compliments, not just when I first get it cut, but even up until the time I go in to get it cut again! The highlighting he does looks more natural than other stylists in the past, and since I'm so unimaginative about what to do with my hair even when I want a change, he can suggest and create great changes! He obviously has a real passion for his job, and talks with enthusiasm some of the recent cuts he has done and new techniques or tools he has learned about. It's clear that he loves helping clients find a hair style that suits them and that looks terrific. He moved to the Samuel Cole Salon this winter ( I followed him there), and it is a very classy place. So, if you want a great cut and/or coloring, I highly recommend Patrick! more

Samuel Cole Salon's Erica Lockhart- Amazing Colorist/Designer 4/8/2007

I've been traveling to see Erica Lockhart, at Samual Cole Salon, for almost six years now. Despite living in Asheville and now Charlotte, I make the drive to Raleigh so that she can cut and color my hair. I've tried finding local stylists with her professionalism and talent but have simply given up. I had an appointment this weekend for full highlights and wasn't sure exactly what I wanted. Erica suggested some ideas, we collaberated, and the result was beautiful. I know that every time I cut and color my hair the results will be fantastic, I have every trust in Erica. Call Samuel Cole and request an appointment with ERICA LOCKHART, you won't be disappointed! Pros: Products, Services, Staff, Salon Design and Ambience, Location, Professionalism more

Absolutely awesome Salon!! Patrick McGuire is excellent!! 3/27/2007

I actually met my stylist at another salon (one with little to offer except the stylist, Patrick). He was wonderful. When I called back to schedule my color touch up, I was told that he had left and went to Samuel Cole Salon. I called, made my appt. and arrived at 6:30pm. The front desk staff was very welcoming. While I was waiting, they offered me a glass of wine. Within 5-10 minutes of arriving, Patrick came to get me. Let me first say that the salon is very Upscale, however their pricing was actually less than the ""not-so-nice"" salon I had been to previously!! I love that the owner was there working in the salon. He made it a point to speak to me and the entire team was absolutely wonderful. If you are looking for a New York or LA experience without the high price, then this is the place. And I have to say that, at 35 years old, I have never had such a great cut and color than what Patrick McGuire gave. He is awesome. It looked better than I had even pictured. You will not be disappointed!!!! Kathie Crounse Pros: Everything!! Cons: Nothing more

Wonderful salon experience with great stylist!! 3/23/2007

Without a doubt, this was the best salon experience and the best haircut/style I have ever received. When I called for an appointment, the receptionist asked about my hair type, and when I told her I have long, thick, curly hair, she said she knew just the right stylist for me. And she was absolutely right when she set me up with Sara, because she seemed to know exactly what to do with my hair. She asked me what I had in mind, and when I said I wasn't really sure of anything other than length, she described some ideas she had in mind...which have made for a beautiful and manageable cut. And not only that, but throughout the shampoo, cut, and style, she was extremely personable--I felt as if I was talking to a friend, rather than a woman I had just met. When you walk into this salon, you will no doubt receive top treatment--it has a very comfortable and classy feel. I was truly pleased, and will be going back to Sara for my next cut, as well. Pros: Great stylists, excellent service, very comfortable more

From Not Recommended to HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 3/23/2007

THIS SALON IS ONE IN A MILLION. The manager of this salon made an appointment for me to come in to address my complaint (see below), without dispute he cut my hair the way I wanted it to be and did a VERY good job. Pros: Extremely Professional more
