THE PARLOR

I’ve been going to Samantha for the past three years, and I truly can’t imagine trusting my hair with anyone else. I get both color and extensions, and what sets Samantha apart is that she always puts the health and integrity of my hair first. She is incredibly knowledgeable, intentional, and honest, making sure my hair not only looks amazing but stays healthy long-term. Beyond her talent, The Parlor experience is pure luxury. From the moment you walk in, everything feels elevated and calming. The lather lounge alone is worth mentioning—it’s so relaxing and peaceful, and it genuinely feels like a moment to unwind and be pampered. It’s more than just a hair appointment; it’s self-care. Every single time I leave her chair, I feel confident, refreshed, and absolutely in love with my hair. Samantha has a true gift, and her attention to detail, care, and luxury touch make each visit something I look forward to. If you’re looking for beautiful hair and an incredible experience, she is unmatched.

I had a very disappointing experience with the business owner, Samantha. Initially, she assured me over the phone that getting the extensions and the plum hair color I wanted would be easy. However, she repeatedly refused my requests for a FaceTime consultation and never actually saw my hair or understood where I wanted the extensions placed. For the consultation, she only offered a phone call, which made communication harder from the beginning. She quoted $3,500 for just two rows of extensions—something I later learned was significantly above the regular market price. Despite her initial promises, after charging me a $700 retainer, she began to change her stance, saying she wouldn’t install the extensions where I requested and questioned the color we had discussed. All the clarity and confidence she gave me at first quickly turned into confusion and discomfort. When I brought up the fact that no custom hair should have been ordered since we never finalized a color, she still insisted on her non-refundable policy and refused to return my deposit. No services were ever provided, yet I was left without a refund. This feels like a classic scam: promising a service, then changing the terms, and refusing to refund the money. I would not recommend this stylist.

I have been going to Tara for several years and she is amazing! Im so glad she’s back in Tracy! The Parlor is so Beautiful. Everyone is so welcoming as soon as you walk in which is so refreshing. I look forward to my self-care days every few weeks! Highly recommend
