Hair By Sam Donato

…after nearly 8 years of ups and downs behind the chair, I’ve made the decision to permanently close my salon suite, effective immediately. If you currently have an appointment booked, I will be reaching out to you personally.⁣
⁣
Closing this chapter has been bittersweet, but I want to express my deepest gratitude to every single person who has trusted me with their hair over the years. Your support, kindness, and loyalty have meant the absolute world to me. 💕⁣
⁣
While I won’t be returning behind the chair (for real this time), I’m excited to continue my journey full-time with Salon Centric. Working there allows me to stay connected to the industry I love, and I couldn’t be more thankful for the opportunities it brings. I am so very excited to see where this takes me!⁣
⁣
Thank you for being part of my story—it’s been an honor and a privilege to share this journey with you. 💖

Counting down to new hair vibes 🎆✨ ⁣
⁣

⁣

A fresh cut is like a reset button for your hair 🪄✨⁣
⁣
6 months ago, we did a full foilyage blonding session, and her color still looks stunning—proof that healthy hair holds color beautifully. Today, we gave her a fresh cut with heavier face-framing and layers for that extra bouncy blowout. 💇‍♀️⁣
⁣
✂️ Regular trims = healthier, shinier, stronger hair. Whether you’re growing it out or maintaining your style, your ends need some love!⁣
⁣
And here’s the cherry on top 🍒—I’m offering a FREE Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate hydrating treatment with all cut + color services until the end of the year! 🎉⁣
⁣
Let’s keep your hair looking this good all year long. 💕⁣
⁣
📅 DM me to book your next appointment, or tap the link on my profile—your hair will thank you! 💌⁣
⁣
Let me know if you want any other tweaks!

This is the very last thing I wanted to do🥲⁣
⁣
I’m going to start out by saying I appreciate all of the support from my clients and I’m so sorry to have to limit my availability like this. This is me being 100% real with you guys.⁣
⁣
Most of you know I have another job to help make ends meet as I’m rebuilding my clientele. Starting 2025, I have no choice but to take more hours at my other job. I’m not 100% sure what days will be dedicated to doing hair yet. I’m thinking I will only be in my suite Friday and Saturday with an occasional Sunday thrown in there. ⁣
⁣
My hands are tied and I feel horrible about it. The truth is I am not getting enough appointments to warrant being open 5 days a week. I do have appointments on my book, but most of them are being cancelled last minute.⁣ My schedule looks like a ghost town right now.⁣
⁣
I feel like I’ve tried everything to bring new clients in and bring back returning clients. I feel so defeated. The hair industry is simply not the same as it used to be and neither is social media. ⁣I’ve literally done countless hours of research.⁣
⁣
That being said, my availability remains the same until the end of the year. This is me literally BEGGING you guys to book! There’s still a chance and I’m hoping and praying this works out. I’m honestly so fearful that I’m going to have to close my business for the second time. ⁣
⁣
On the other hand, I do completely understand that times are tough for everyone right now. This is why I’ve introduced new services throughout the year to try and accommodate. I try to keep my color and cuts affordable with package pricing. I also started accepting AFTERPAY as payment.⁣
⁣
That being said, please support small businesses this holiday season. If a miracle happens and I get more bookings, there’s a chance that I could keep an extra day at my suite and have more availability for you guys. You can book an appointment by tapping the link in my bio or DMing me.⁣
⁣
I am hoping and praying I get to see each and every one of you before the end of the year. ⁣It would mean the absolute world to me if y’all showed your support! Even just a simple share online can do so much!⁣
⁣

✂️ A fresh start never looked so good! ⁣
⁣
This guest was ready to shed some length and lighten things up. I touched up her highlights with a partial for that sun-kissed glow and went for a big chop, taking off 8 inches (🤯) and adding light layers for a fresh, airy feel. The result? A look that feels as good as it looks!⁣
⁣
She trusted me to bring her vision to life, and seeing her leave with a confident smile made my day. 💇‍♀️ 💖⁣

💫 Big impact without breaking the bank 💫⁣
⁣
My guest came in for a mini highlight and a trim, and just a few foils brought her look back to life! ✨ Mini highlights are a great way to add brightness and dimension without going all-in on a full service (and without breaking the bank!) 💸⁣

✨ Ready for a ✨GLOW UP✨ moment?!⁣
⁣
My guest came in with some grown-out babylights that we did last time, and she was ready for a refresh! 💫 We blended her roots with a soft smudge, added a deeper, richer tone for that cozy fall vibe 🍂, and gave her a fresh cut that’s giving effortless ✂️⁣
⁣
And, because we LOVE a little sparkle, I added some tinsel strands for that ✨extra magic✨ — it’s the little details that make all the difference, right? 💖 Swipe for the before & after magic and tell me what you think! ⬇️
