Samantha Harris-Sainsbury

Salon Owner, Curly Hair Specialist, Extension Certified Stylist

I have a passion for beauty and self care which is why I am so in love with this industry. I believe knowledge and education is the key to success. You will often hear me talk of my educational endeavors.

I was born and raised near Tulsa, Oklahoma. I have been licensed in cosmetology since 2004. I am married to a wonderfully understanding and supportive husband. We have four children, two teenagers and two toddlers. I love talking about movies and books (thrillers are my genre of choice), traveling, gardening, exotic restaurants and of course life with children.

Lauren Perez

Curly Certified Stylist+ Fade Expert

I take the utmost pride in being a third-generation hairstylist. The beauty salon feels like a second home to me. I became a licensed cosmetologist in 2007, and I absolutely love what I do. I love building up confidence in people through their hair, whether that be a haircut, color, or style.

I am happily married to my best friend, and together we have 3 beautiful children. When Iā€™m not in the salon, I love spending time with my family, reading, watching my children in all of their extra-curricular activities, & football.

Bio Coming Soon

Samantha is great! I was scared to find another curly hair specialist moving back to Oklahoma. She has been excellent, most recently looking into a style of color that I was wanting to try.. and it turned out perfect! Lauren is also a great stylist. I appreciate their dynamic relationship in their sweet salon. šŸ˜Š-Jessica Voegeli
