meet Sam!

specialties: short hair, bobs, shags, mullets, lived in hair, creative/custom color, transformations.

I'm a native Ashevillian. The magic of the mountains has inspired the creativity that helps invigorate my passion for hair. I have had the opportunity to be a part of davines’ world wide hair competition, talent greenhouse, qualifying in the top 100 in both 2022 and 2023. I am most proud to have been awarded davines’ first International Color Genius award in 2024!  I am continually refining techniques and learning in order to provide the highest quality service I can. 

what makes your hair brain sing? sharing a creative experience, creating connection that brings to life individual beauty. 

go-to davines product: relaxing moisturizing fluid, dede, oi oil, and texturizing dust.

what you love about ananda: the acceptance to be authentically individual. everyone’s willingness to teach, listen and inspire.

fun fact about me: i was born on a leap day!
