The Rare Bird

I had an amazing experience at The Rare Bird with Sam. I came in ready for a big change, 12 inches off to donate, and wasn’t quite sure what style to go for next. Sam took the time to chat with me, offered her expert opinion, and made me feel totally confident in the decision. Sam styled my thick, slightly wavy hair into a long bob that suits me perfectly. The cut feels fresh, light, and incredibly easy to manage. It was exactly what I didn’t know I needed! I've received so many compliments, and a few people even said the style looked so natural on me, they didn’t realize I’d made such a big change. Sam worked with such ease and precision; it’s clear she truly understands her craft and takes the time to listen and tailor each cut to her client’s needs. Beyond her skills, Sam is just a wonderful human. She's friendly, warm, quirky in the best way, and genuinely empathetic. The whole experience felt more like catching up with a good friend than just getting a haircut. The Rare Bird is a warm and inviting space, thoughtfully designed by Sam with carefully curated furniture and decor. You can feel the intention behind every detail. Her new salon is not only beautiful, but also a reflection of her dedication and the courage it takes to keep growing professionally. I highly recommend booking with Sam if you’re looking for an uplifting and personalized salon experience. She’s in high demand, so if you can’t get an appointment with her, you’ll still be in great hands. She has hand-picked a growing team of incredibly talented stylists who all share The Rare Bird’s commitment to exceptional service and care.

Sam is hands down the best stylist I have ever seen. I've been going to her almost two years now and my hair has never been healthier. The cuts she gives grow out wonderfully until the next time I see her. I have low maintenance color that only requires seeing her 4x a year, in between visits the color blends well into my natural color, no line or distinction where roots grow in. Her prices are quite fair too for the area. I used to always be nervous going to get my hair cut/colored (I have had some terrible experiences in the past) but now I actually look forward to my next appointments! She is so fun to talk to and her new place is very cute too.

I had my first visit with Sam today and I am beyond happy! I’m not very good with knowing what looks best and because of that, I’m never satisfied when I get my hair done. I asked Sam what she thought would look best for my face and she DELIVERED! She walked me through every single thing, answered all of my annoying questions, and made me feel like a Princess. She has the most gentle hands too. I have an extremely tender scalp and I didn’t have pain a single time. That has also never happened- I didn’t even have to tell her! Amazing. I cannot recommend enough.

Getting your hair done by Sam is a truly magical experience. From the moment you sit in her chair, she makes you feel like the center of attention, catering to your every need with care and expertise. Her extensive knowledge of all things hair ensures that your vision comes to life while also considering what’s best for you. She prioritizes building a personal connection with each client, creating an intimate and welcoming atmosphere. Every appointment is a joy, and I HIGHLY recommend her for all your hair care needs!

I don't go here just for a haircut, I also go for the ✨vibes✨ and the chance to hangout and catch-up with Sam! It's been a little over a week since I got the cut and I've felt lighter and freer -- a gift I receive with every haircut, but this one comes with bonus curls. Sam always manages to cut it perfectly so all I have to do is brush it a certain direction and it naturally looks fantastic. (Before I found her, I had to do more daily shaping, but she knows I'm too lazy for that and styles my hair with that in mind.) I love her approach to discuss ideas with each client and shape your hair based on how you're living and what works best for the coming months. Always a joy!

Sam is absolutely awesome! She has been my hairstylist for the last 8 years. I don't trust my hair with anyone else. She listens and explains what she is doing. I trust her so much that I tell her to "do whatever, and cut as much as she thinks needs cutting." I've NEVER been disappointed. She also doesn't push product. She's the best absolute best!

Sam did an amazing job at my hair! Gave her a rundown of what I was looking for and she did more than delivered. Now I have beautiful Pinterest worthy hair. Worth every penny!

Samatha was amazing and exactly as advertised. She listened to my story, validate by needs, educated me on my on hair and scalp and was open and aware that one's hair is alway in process. Little bonuses such as a cup of coffee made me feel comfortable and right at home in her space and presence. She is one of those gems you almost don't want other people to know about because you're afraid you'll never get back in! But seriously, highly recommend.

Love love love coming here! I love that Sam will always provide the short term and long term hair routines to maintain your new hair for as long as it can be and all her product recommendations are on point. She really cares about hair and will take the time to make sure you're happy at the end!
