First time in a salon in 6 years. Mammoth job for the poor girl but absolutely amazing. I am in love with my new hair and can't wait to book again. All so friendly and professional.

Barbers they are not.
Booked a men's hair cut at short notice which was nice, and then even changed it for an earlier appointment.
Got to my appointment and when I said what I'd like done the hair dresser immediately said "I DON'T DO SKIN FADES". I think she meant 'I CAN'T'. This managed my expectations for the hair cut and it was clear the hair dresser was inexperienced with men's hair. Asked for a grade 2 sides and back as an alternative but she didn't manage it and an uneven cut on the top left me disappointed. I wouldn't mind so much but their website advertisers the fact they do men's

Just had a restyle and colour at Sam's Hair and Beauty by the wonderfully talented Brendan. Brendan was fantastic throughout, gave some amazing advice to know what would suit me colour wise and style wise. I felt very pampered and am absolutely delighted with the result. Love it. Thank you Brendan

Ive been going to Sams for about 2 years now and Debby is my hairdresser. I was always so nervous about going to the hairdressers but she made me feel so comfortable and we have such a laugh. My hair was a complete pain but shes managed to over the years take it from brown to blonde to platinum blonde and silver and back to a gorgeous auburn colour all the while my hair has stayed in great condition which is amazing and I could never thank her enough! I cannot emphasise how welcoming and lovely Sams salon is, all the ladies (and gents) are lovely and I will never stop going here!

This salon has always been one if the most professional salons I have ever used. The staff cannot be more helpful and the skill of the hairdressers are second to none. I cannot praise them highly enough. And now with the added pressure of Covid 19 they are most diligent and scruplious in their customer care.
