I’ve been getting blowouts for many years, have long and thick hair - Sam is the absolute best! I travel often for work, into humid climates, and my hair usually lasts the duration of the several day meeting. Sam understands when to make the hair smooth for travel days and more fancy if I’m getting a blowout for a party! He also has a wonderful personality, and is very accommodating. I can’t recommend him enough- both my mom and daughter use Sam for haircuts and blowouts, always perfection!

Great visit today. The place was happening with a group of girls getting ready for a Barmitzva. Very busy but fun. Louay still had time to make me look pretty!

Layla was amazing 🤩 she even took the time to go through my hair with a flat iron after she was done to make sure everything was smooth and silky!

When I met Louy 7 years ago my hair was changed forever. Louy is an artist and master of his craft. His haircuts are spectacular and the magnificent blo outs are a weekly treat. I am thrilled that my friend Louy has opened his beautiful salon. Well done Louy!

Iran is amazing! This was my first appointment with her, and I will definitely be coming back. She is not only warm and friendly but also incredibly professional. She gave me a keratin treatment, and my hair looks absolutely amazing. I couldn't be happier with the results. I highly recommend her!

I cannot recommend Sam Blow Bar enough! Sam always knows exactly what my hair needs, and I leave every appointment feeling like myself again-only more confident. His blowouts are absolutely incredible and usually last me an entire week. The staff is wonderful, welcoming, and genuinely kind, making every visit a great experience from start to finish. The new salon is beautiful, with a modern and stylish interior that feels both luxurious and comfortable. As a recent grad school graduate, I really appreciate how affordable the services are without sacrificing quality. An absolute must-visit!!

Sam is incredible- every single time- I repeat that he does the best job on my very long hair! Sam is also just a great guy, with an incredible work ethic and someone I love supporting as a business owner. I am thrilled to have him part of my hometown community.

Nermin was fantastic! I made a last-minute decision to get my hair washed and blown out for a dinner this evening, and she did an amazing job. She really took her time blow-drying and beautifully curling my hair. I couldn’t have been happier with the result.

Sam is very talented! I had a terrible haircut (from someone else) in trying to mask that I found Sam. He gave me a great blow out that completely hid the terrible haircut I received the day before. I had so many compliments after the blowout, people told me my hair has never looked so good. I will definitely be back! As a matter of fact, I scheduled for a haircut with Sam next week!

At the last minute, I decided to book a wash and blowout after slicing my finger the night before. Their online booking system made the process incredibly easy and convenient. Mike was terrific—he was gentle and mindful not to tug on my very fine, easily tangled hair. He did a wonderful job, and I would absolutely return.

He’s incredibly talented! Can blow dry the tightest frizziest curly hair to make you look like you have naturally straight hair. I don’t know how he does it, but he’s a miracle worker.
