Fantastic Sams

I’ve been coming to this salon since it opened, and have watched it go from 5 stars to 1 stars. The waits and service and skills have just continued to go downhill so much, that I cannot continue at this salon. I have had to go to other salons intermittently because of closures and long waits. The new «same day appt» system makes things even worse.

It was my first time today at Fantastic Sams and it was splendid. Mostly due in part to hair stylist Angelica who made sure to contact me that she left Hair Masters in La Quinta. She’s dedicated to her clients and has provided excellent service for me this past year. Since I don’t have a car, I have to take 3 buses to reach the salon, but because I don’t settle for less it’s worth it to get the service I’m looking for and Angelica provides exactly that.
The salon is also very clean, presentable, and didn’t have loud music that interfered with peace and quiet.

Angelica has been doing my hair for years and it always looks great! She does my whole family’s hair and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a hair stylist who takes her time and really cares. Angelica’s awesome. Couldn’t ask for someone better.

I got my hair done this morning by Alyssa. My hair was a faded out, ugly red when I went in and she made my hair a beautiful golden blonde, just what I wanted! To top it off, she cut my dead ends off and straightened it for me and my hair looks and feels so healthy! She always takes her time with my hair and has me leaving the salon like a whole new person! Definitely the best hair stylist in the Coachella Valley! I would recommend her to anyone! Thanks again Alyssa!!!

I was trying to write a review earlier, But I must have forgotten my long lost email and Unilocal account information because it did not post!
I am writing to say what an magnificent experience I had in Fantastic Sams just last week! I actually had a day off, a moment to myself with nothing to do! I live just down the street from this Fantastic Sams location and decided to stroll on in after my morning coffee at Its a Grind next door. There were new faces from what I remember. A couple girls with very cool, hip colors and hair styles going on! They were very friendly, all smiles and excited to see me pop in unexpected and with no appointment.
I stated I was ready for some fresh hair coloring, it has been a while since I pampered myself! Alissa took me on back right away. Alissa was full of tattoos and even had part of her head shaved with the other half of her head full of blonde and pink curls, I just knew by her style I would be in great hands and probably walk out looking and feeling about ten years younger! She did an awesome job! I asked for a full head of high lights and lowlights, an even amount of blondes and browns. I wanted a natural, yet fun new look and that is exactly what I got! The colors turned out perfect. My hair looks and feels amazing.
She knew exactly what she was doing, there was no questioning or hesitation in her expressions. I like to read people’s facial expressions and all I could get was pure confidence in her line of work. She kept a good conversation going and made some funny jokes to help the hour foiling process go by quickly and she offered me a water and magazines as I cooked under the dryer for a few minutes.
There was a little rush of clients as I was «cooking» and only two girls working at the time, yet both girls managed to please each customer with haircuts and shampoos while keeping an eye on my color, answering phones, sweeping and doing laundry. I was impressed and their juggling and being able to stay stress free and perform such good work!
Not only did she give me a good price to begin with, my hairdresser gave me coupons to bring back each time I return for an even better discount. I will definitely return. I have received a handful of compliments from friends, family and even my grumpy husband who never notices my hair until now! Thank you Alissa and Fantastic Sams for my wonderful day off and great new look! I encourage everyone to check out the new staff here!

I love Don, the hairdresser! He gives a wonderful haircut with precision. He’s my go to person that’s for sure. It’s so great to find talented folks so close to home with a friendly, non-​stuffy hair salon with reasonable pricing. Brittany is also one I’d recommend with her «pink» hair.

In town and in need of a quick haircut. Very happy she listened to what I wants and did not go crazy on my bangs, can’t remember her name but she had cool pink hair. Thx punk haired girl.

I’ve been going here for a while. They are great. There is never a long wait and they always do a good job. 4 stars just because its getting a little pricey for their haircut. Price is the only reason I’d consider some place else.

My mother and I both very pleased with the results here. Went in for cuts and both girls did very good. Alyssa, who did my hair layered and cut a very cute style without needing much instruction at all. I didn’t know what I wanted, so I left it up to her. She did a great job.
