Samantha Brown

Senior Stylist – Level 1

I completed my cosmetology education in 2010 after participating in the Boces program during high school in Peekskill, NY. My love for hair and makeup has been a lifelong journey, inspired by my aunts and cousins who are hairstylists. My cousin and I would often spend time in the family salon, experimenting with each other’s hair. I am very passionate in helping people feel like the best versions of themselves and boosting their confidence.

Stylist Q&A

What part of hairdressing do you love most?

The most rewarding aspect of being a hairstylist is delivering an exceptional experience to my clients while helping them achieve the hair of their dreams. There’s nothing quite like making someone feel beautiful and providing them with results they never thought were possible. This is what brings me true joy and makes every effort worthwhile.

What about the industry that fuels you?

The thing about the hair industry that fuels me is the interaction with my guests. I love getting to know my guests and what’s going on in their lives. I love being able to make them happy and feel good about the way they look.

What is a fun fact about you?

A fun fact about me is that I have a strong passion for crafts and design. I particularly enjoy repurposing furniture and creating unique home decor pieces. It brings me great joy to transform old items into something beautiful and functional.

What do you love to do in your spare time?

I love to do crafting and design. I also can’t wait to spend my free time soaking up the sun on the beach and discovering everything Florida has to offer. I have a 2 year old golden doodle named Cooper, and I’m eager to take him on adventures as we explore our new surroundings together. Additionally, I love playing volleyball and am excited to explore those opportunities.

What are your top achievements as a hairstylist?

One of my proudest achievements as a hairstylist has been cultivating a large and loyal client base. This accomplishment has granted me the freedom to be my own boss and work independently in New York, allowing me to create a fulfilling career on my own terms. My second is being able to walk away from all that I build and having the confidence to start all over and be more successful.
