Hi I’m Samantha

let me tell you a bit about how I am here today with my gorgeous Shepherds Hut salon!

I began my career in Oxford city centre, by the age of 21 I had qualified as Men’s national young stylist of the year.

This led on to opening and managing salons for salon owners over several years.

“Now it’s my turn!”

Always passionate and confident with challenging hair, I pushed myself to grow and learn in the Curly hair Field, taking the opportunity to progress my skills with curly hair by training at Spring, a curl specific salon and the home of the curl by curl technique.

This has led me to open my own unique and peaceful salon in the Oxfordshire countryside. Always giving my all to help my curly & non curly clients to embrace what nature has given them.

Let’s work together to get you the best results from your hair!

I hope to see you in the Shepherds Hut, Samantha x

Testimonial

I was so anxious to take my lions mane of wavy, frizz to a curly hairdresser. However, I was made to feel so welcome in the shepherds hut...which is both beautiful and tranquil. Samantha set to work discussing what I currently do, giving suggestions and advice. She was non judgemental and so helpful! I took photos of the products and made lists of what she did in the vain hope I can replicate this!

She washed, styled, dryed and transformed my hair into actual curls! Thank you so much.

I called Sam after years of struggling to control my curly hair. Sam came to my house and did a curly girl curl by curl cut. Once she had worked her magic my hair looked better than ever. Sam also gave me lots of tips as to how to maintain my hair and recommended products to use. People have said it’s the best they have ever seen my hair. I highly recommend Sam if you need help with your curly hair as she has so much knowledge.

Absolutely fantastic first curly cut, Sam has revived my curls wonderfully! She is full of advice and the setting is beautiful. If you're a curly girl, you can't go wrong here!

I knew a curly cut would be good for my hair but I underestimated how good it could look. Sam talked through each step and explained what I had been doing right and recommended improvements to my hair care. She's revived my curls beautifully and left then in great condition, I would highly recommend Sam.
