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
