I started seeing Samantha last year because I was looking for a safe place to express myself more freely. First looking for a more androgynous style and eventually deciding to grow my hair as a part of my mtf transition. The gender neutral pricing is a huge perk. Samantha is amazing. And the rest of the stylists/staff are so friendly and welcoming. I love that showing up at my salon feels like showing up at a dear friend’s place. They even make me a coffee and give me chocolate. And bonus, they’re good at cutting and styling hair!
I tell everyone about Samantha James Hair Design. And that they are 100% trans friendly. If you’re transgender and need a salon, this is your place. If you’re not trans but feel like supporting locally owned trans friendly environments, this is your place.
Also check out their environmental and sustainable initiatives. With product refills, not putting dyes down the drain, or sending hair clippings to be up-cycled, they’re doing their part to reduce their environmental impact.
Can’t say enough good about them and Samantha in particular.
