My daughter went to Samuel to have her hair colored honey blonde. After being in the chair for 6 hours I received a FaceTime call and she was in tears. She hated the color and not only that her locs looked severely damaged from the process. I spoke with him the next day to express concern regarding the poorly executed color treatment. He was rude, condescending, and defensive. And I'm not going to lie I got spicy with him as well but only due to his lack of professionalism. Had he been honest and forthcoming about his capabilities this could have all been avoided. I would have even been ok had he taken accountability. When you are inexperienced in handling ethnic hair that is loc'd I feel that should have been a conversation. $160 later my daughter walked away with damaged hair, and I had to pay a experienced stylist to correct the issue. Just a heads up if you are a black woman with locs please do not book an appointment with Samuel.

Stumbling into a last-minute haircut with Sam years ago was the best thing that ever happened to my hair and I won't go to anybody else. He's not just a great stylist; he's a great person who really cares about his clients. He's been very accommodating with my appointment needs as well as fitting my teenage son into his schedule in a pinch. I would recommend him to everybody I know, but then his schedule would be more busy and I might not always get what I want. ?

Sam is a very talented, creative, reliable, great hair stylist. He's also charming and funny - you should get your hair done by him.

I will forever go here. I can send Samuel a photo of what I want, and he cuts it that way. I can also tell him to do whatever, and I come out with a super cute and trendy hair cut. Samuel is fun and has a great rapport with his clients.

First Class Service!!! I have been coming to Sam for 5 years and far most the best stylist I have had. I've been natural for 8 years and had a difficult time finding a stylist that can straighten my hair and prevent frizzing after leaving the salon. He's is my lifesaver and no one else have come close. Strongly recommend if you want strong and healthy hair, someone is quick and great personality.

I have notoriously thick and difficult hair. Sam is the first person who has not only tamed it, but who has given me a haircut that remains functional even as it grows. He also provides fantastic coloring services (recovered me from a horrible orange mishap). I've been seeing Sam for years and I won't let anyone else touch my hair now. I never knew I could actually love my hair until I met Sam!

My mom and I tried the Samuel Jacob salon after winning a gift certificate in a silent auction. We weren't quite sure of what to expect when trying a new stylist but were definitely pleasantly surprised! Samuel made us feel right at home in his loft studio. He has a great, bubbly personality that you can't help but like! I can tell he takes great pride in his haircuts and styles. He actually listened to what I wanted and gave me a new style that was desperately needed to update my look. He also helped my mom embrace her curls--showing her a new way to style with products. We'll definitely be going back to see Samuel again for another haircut and wax. His prices are very reasonable and the location is ideal, right in the heart of Maplewood. Go see Sam
