Holy cow Sam! We're the same age and you've already accomplished so much. You should be very proud 👏 I look at you and think wow, I don't know if I could do what you have already done. RUclips, the salon, school, your classes, podcast, your merch. Literally, just stop and think about that for a sec. We all compare once and a while, but you have done well. ❤
Thank you so much! We're always our own worst critics and can be so hard on ourselves, constantly feeling like we're not doing enough and comparing ourselves to other people. It's nice to stop and reflect on our accomplishments and feel proud of ourselves, so thank you for that reminder :)
The front room with window has to be yours! 😍 Your face lit up talking about this new adventure and it was so lovely to see, I’m currently in the process of having an outhouse built for my own salon at home, whilst currently employed in the hair industry (uk based) your videos always relate to me in some way and mirror similar things I’m doing in my own life and seeing this has come at the perfect time again! 😂 When you were talking about fear, comparing to others and doing it for you, i didn’t realise how much I needed to hear that. Sending lots of love and good energy your way Sam 🥰 x
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with wanting to build a strong foundation of experience before leaping. Everybody is different. There are people who are still in the waiting line as we speak. It’s just your time. CONGRATULATIONS🎉❤
Girl you’re not alone, I’ve been doing hair for almost 11 years, and I stopped this past December because my anxiety and my mental health working at the great clips for only 2 years in AZ. Ruined my confidence and ruined the way I look at clients/hair. I wanna get back to hair but I’m scared, and I see all these videos or see the girls I work with at a salon right now (I’m a client care coordinator) and I’m like “why can’t I be brave?”😞 I’m proud of you for taking this step towards what you want🤍🫶🏼 everything will work out the way it should be🤍🫶🏼
Girl they are not more brave then you, look at this amazing RUclips community you have built! That takes so much bravery !! Everyone is in there own pace ! You are doing so good
Congratulations! I’ll have to say.. a stylists success has nothing to do with having their own space or own salon. So don’t ever compare yourself to others. I know many stylists who have been Commission for their whole hair career and have been very successful and make LOTS of money. Some people don’t like salon studios and prefer to work with other stylist for the day to day interaction and to grow their craft when working alongside other stylists. Even though your own studio gives you a lot more freedom it could also feel very isolating. The good thing about this industry are the different options how stylist can make a living. This industry isn’t one size fits all. I’m happy for you and hope it works out!
We are the same age, and I look up to you! I didn’t start cosmetology school until I was 29! I feel so behind but I also look at my life and just KNOW that if I would have started this career fresh out of high school or even in my early 20s, I wouldn’t have made it this far. I needed the life experiences to get me to where I’m at today. Congratulations Sam!!! 🎉
Omg Sam! I am on the same boat! Similar cosmo experience! I am currently surviving my toxic co workers, working on my money/credit to take the plunge and become independent! My clients and partner are very supportive as I struggle with all the “what ifs” but that’s definitely my goal too! I’m sick and tired of the looks, the uniform, and the useless sales/product pushing that’s demanded of the company I’m at🥱 I’ve been casually watching you since you made the transition from student to cosmo and I admire you so much! I also admire the baby stylist so much for their courage and bravery for leaving salons to go independent! The best of luck to you in your new journey🫶🏽🖤🤍💕
Congrats Sam 🎉 I’m 21 years old and just opened my salon suite 4 months ago and it was the best decision I made for myself. You will love it. Wishing you all the best! I’ve been watching you forever and I’m so excited for you! ❤
So happy for you! Your face completely lit up when talking about being your own boss. I got discouraged with my career over the years and felt behind too but timing is everything and what’s meant for you will find you at the right point. And from a fellow introvert, you are gonna love having your own space and working for yourself. It’s a freedom like no other! Congrats and enjoy this next chapter!
Congratulations!!! 🥂 You're moving at your pace, and it's paying off. Your journey is what YOU make of it, and you're making money moves! 💰 Sending you all the positive vibes for a successful business endeavor! ✨️
Sam! I am so proud of you! Congratulations! I've been watching you for a few years, and to see you grow and constantly challenge yourself is so inspiring. You deserve all the good things coming to you. You're always so humble, and you are such a great example for us all. Wishing you continued success in all you do. ❤
So happy for you!!!!! This is incredible 🥹& thank you for saying this. This is legit something ive been feeling. Im 33 & I went to beauty school back in 2015 unfortunately my school closed right before I graduated. I had a family & was a sahm for years but I went back to school a couple years ago & officially graduate Cosmetology on the 20th!! Its never too late!! ❤ your transparency & courage is inspiring!!🤗🥳
100% has to do with fear of the unknown. I went into my own salon suite only 3 months after i opened for business. Just took a leep of faith and it paid off. Totally has to do with your area too. Im now in a different state and finding myself having to go to a commission salon to build my clientele here. But taking this leep for you is gonna open SO many doors, trust me you got this!
I feel you on the fears! But you also have to think about like yes they did things faster, but how long are they gonna last? how good is their customer service? I have to agree with the idea that some people take longer bc they’re building to be greater! it’s much less common that people are amazing at everything straight out the gate yk - but anyway super exciting for you! wishing you so much light & success 🎉
go go sam! way to go and congratulations girl. very well deserved. also don't think of you being behind and if you should have started earlier. we all start at our time. and plus I look at it this way, it's best to have learned the things before you made the jump. i would have hated if you had to learn the hard way. excited for you and lets do this!
Had a feeling this was the news so happy for you working for yourself or working for a business is a personal choice you can be successful in any avenue that’s best for you in the right time
Congratulations Sam! I have been watching your videos for a long time now and it’s so amazing to watch you grow and succeed in your career. It really is inspiring ❤
I’m a renter at a sola salons!! I’ve been there for 4 years and i am so happy for you!! I’ll be moving into a larger space in the fall and the opportunity to grow my business with people to work for me etc. my recommendation is to use gloss genius as your POS. It’s so efficient, good interface, easy for the client, supplies a waitlist for you if you need it and runs all your financial reports for your taxes etc. soooo great. It also has inspirational quotes lol. So cute. Congrats girl. You deserve this next evolution!!
Hey Sam I am so happy and excited for you it's a new chapter of your life and I know it's scary to make decisions that is life changing but anything is possible 💞 when you work hard for it and I wish I lived in North Carolina so you can do my hair but who knows maybe one day 🙏😍💗
Congrats Sam! Be proud of how far you’ve come. I recall when you discussed changing careers & going to cosmetology school but being nervous since you started much later than others. Regardless, you’ve come so far and gained the experience and have the passion to be successful. Proves that it’s never too late to get started or relearn/pivot and still do well in life. You can accomplish anything you put your mind to if you also work hard and stay consistent. 32 is still young and don’t compare yourself to others. Enjoy the moment and find joy in this milestone.
Congratulations! I use the square system for my scheduling and checkout (debit/credit) system for my salon! It’s by far the cheapest % rate near me in WV.
Yay!! Sam this is so exciting! I’ve been an OG subscriber for years and I am so excited to see you taking a leap of faith and doing this! I’m also a hairstylist and have a salon suite! As someone who moved out of state 2 years and ago and doing it all over again, I know it will be worth it! You’re gonna kill it!
I’ve been a longtime subscriber, and I route for you every time something amazing happens. It’s like watching a friend achieve successes, (even though we’re strangers), I’m so, so happy for you Sam!! I can’t wait to watch you thrive in your new salon! Congratulations on this huge move, and I know you’re going to crush it!🎉🥂
I am so proud of you and so happy for you Sam. You are going at your own pace and doing beautifully at it. Never feel bad or reflect on someone else’s journey ❤️🩷🥳
Been here since the red hair video and I hope this doesn’t sound weird but I feel extremely proud of you! You’ve accomplished so much, and you are a huge inspiration!
Ahhhhh!! Congrats Sam!! I’m so proud of you. You’ve come so far! I do bridal hair and makeup and in this industry it’s so easy to compare and feel behind. You’re doing amazing!
I love watching your videos your journey is untraditional and inspiring. Everyone’s journey is DIFFERENT and that’s okay. It’s definitely something I have struggled with comparing my journey to someone else’s but everything will fall into place at the perfect time not the time you force it to be. Congratulations so happy to see your growth!
Omg Sam... I am so happy for you 💕💕💕💕💕 You are so talented and have been posting hair videos for such a long time and finally it's your time to shine and be independent 😊😊😊 Good luck on your new journey, Boss Lady!!!❤❤❤❤
I’ve been watching you for so long and to see the growth and to be given the honor of watching your journey of something I’m so grateful for. Can’t wait to see what the future has in store for you Sam congratulations.❤
That’s amazing news!! Also don’t try to compare yourself with other stylists! This was your path and now it’s the time for you to have your OWN STUDIO! 🎉congratulations!! ❤ I also always wanted to open my own studio myself - however life had another plan and I had a baby! 😄🥰
Sam! I am SO proud of you! We are the exact same age, and started in this industry the same time. I FEEL YOU with comparison!!! You are right where you need to be, and you have done AMAZING things!! Be proud! We sure are! 🤍🤍
I’m so excited to watch you on your new journey!! I have been watching you for Over 4 years and have seen you love and have so many big changes in life and be so open and real about them! I rent a station at my husbands aunt salon for the past 7 years and I always wanted to have a suite but it’s hard I donno want to leave her but I want to grow. Maybe this will inspire and push me to make the change! Again so excited for you and YOU GOT THIS GIRL!!
I turn 32 this year in June also!! And I just opened my own salon suite last month. We are on the same lil journey, Sam! It’s scary but it’s worth it. Best of luck to you and I can’t wait to follow along!!
That is soooo awesome!!! Congratulations! It is a huge step and in the beginning you put out a lot of money but it’s so well worth it!!! It’s your and you get to decide every step and make your journey so detailed !!! I see you soaring through this and wish I was still on NC I would definitely be at your door!! You are an amazing person and so inspiring!! Again congrats and can’t wait to see you through this blessed journey!!!! Go get them! You got this !!!!
AHH CONGRATS This is so exciting! So happy for you ❤ I too have been looking into suites but where they’re located it’s far from me and my clientele! Love how you’re sharing f the process 🥰
WOW major cheers Sam! looks super fancy smancy! Its been so fun watching your journey over the years. Life is too short not to take chances & sounds like you have mentors who will have your back! anyways, you should be super proud yay!!! :)
Omg!!! So excited for you! You’re never gonna go back to working in another person’s salon, trust meeee. It took me like 23 years. It’s ok, never ever going back lol
Congratulations!!! So proud of you!! I don’t comment often, but I had to hop on and say that I am so happy for you and excited to follow along on this beautiful new chapter of your journey!! 🥳🎉🍾
Sam i am sooooo happy for you xxx ❤ i following you since during covid . Im 52 i opened my salon 10 years ago in Ireland x good decision. You're amazing. Keep it small and simple is my advice x you will do well xxx
Congratulations 🎉 you’re in the right place. Everyone starts from the bottom. Studio 9 sounds cool . Can’t wait to see the end result of YOUR studio 👏🙌
Congratulations ! ❤I’m turning 32 this year too . And I’m still working for someone ( different industry ) . I feel so burnout . I feel like I need to do something on my own . I need freedom 😅
Are we living the same life girl?!!! Yaaas!!! This came at the perfect time❤ I too am so scared but so excited to get into my own salon suite! Thank you for sharing this journey 🙏🏽 I'm not alone right now lol
way to go Sam I am so happy and proud of you! You got this, have a little more confidence. Maybe if you ever get stuck your old boss can help by phone. I am sure she will be happy to do just that. so excited for you. hope you get to do this a long time from june. thanks for sharing.
I am so incredibly excited for you! I have been subscribed since before you moved! ❤️ you are glowing and I know this was the best decision! Congrats!!!
I am a huge fan of yours!! Also a commission stylist for 12 years. I don’t think anything is wrong with being a commission stylist if it works for your lifestyle. I certainly don’t think being a suite owner means you’re “further ahead” or more accomplished. Different things work for different people. Many people open suites and fail miserably because the cost outweighs the benefit, especially in this economy. I just think we ought not make being a commission stylist seem as if it’s just a stepping stone. All that said I wish you all the luck in your new endeavor! ❤
1,000%! And I did touch on that in the beginning. I, in no way, want to make it seem like being commission isn't also a success. For me, personally, having my own brand, it just makes the most sense to have my own space and it's something I've always wanted at some point. But if you (or anyone) can find a salon home where you feel happy, respected, and at peace, THAT'S the dream! :)
Congratulations!!!!!!🎊🍾 ❤. I love how much you have grown in many aspects of your life and this is definitely a big move. You are doing amazing and I hope the absolute best for you!!! I know one day I’ll be able to get my hair done by you😊.
Hey, I hope you’re doing well. Sam. I was wondering if I could please have some advice from you. my hair is a level five my goals to get to a six I was planning on using a colour remover then going in with a bleach bath. Will that be easier since it’s just one level?
Holy cow Sam! We're the same age and you've already accomplished so much. You should be very proud 👏 I look at you and think wow, I don't know if I could do what you have already done. RUclips, the salon, school, your classes, podcast, your merch. Literally, just stop and think about that for a sec. We all compare once and a while, but you have done well. ❤
Thank you so much! We're always our own worst critics and can be so hard on ourselves, constantly feeling like we're not doing enough and comparing ourselves to other people. It's nice to stop and reflect on our accomplishments and feel proud of ourselves, so thank you for that reminder :)
Congratulations!!
Every time I watch your videos, I feel so motivated to do something for myself.
I just want to say thank you.
Thank you :) I'm so happy to hear that! I love that we can motivate each other.

Wowww congratulations!!! You’re doing the damn thing for sure! Can’t wait to see the journey of this new chapter of your life!! This is amazing 🥂🥳
Thank you!!!
I am a huge fan of yours!! Also a commission stylist for 12 years. I don’t think anything is wrong with being a commission stylist if it works for your lifestyle. I certainly don’t think being a suite owner means you’re “further ahead” or more accomplished. Different things work for different people. Many people open suites and fail miserably because the cost outweighs the benefit, especially in this economy. I just think we ought not make being a commission stylist seem as if it’s just a stepping stone. All that said I wish you all the luck in your new endeavor! ❤
1,000%! And I did touch on that in the beginning. I, in no way, want to make it seem like being commission isn't also a success. For me, personally, having my own brand, it just makes the most sense to have my own space and it's something I've always wanted at some point. But if you (or anyone) can find a salon home where you feel happy, respected, and at peace, THAT'S the dream! :)
That is very exciting. Congratulations!
Congratulations 🎊 👏 💐 🥳 🎊 👏 💐

Hey, I hope you’re doing well. Sam. I was wondering if I could please have some advice from you. my hair is a level five my goals to get to a six I was planning on using a colour remover then going in with a bleach bath. Will that be easier since it’s just one level?
Omg I knew it! 🙊🥳 Congrats Sam, I wish great success for your business 👏☺️ and I'm looking forward to your videos on this new adventure ❣️
