Sammy was born and raised in Northern California where, from ages 4–17, she pursued competitive softball. In an effort to bring “pretty” to the field, she began wearing pink bows in her hair and pink cleats on her feet. If it was pink, Sammy was wearing it! Throughout her last year of high school, Sammy became the girl her girlfriends would turn to to do their hair and makeup for all of the school dances. That’s when Sammy truly fell in love with doing hair and makeup because she loved helping make women feel beautiful. As graduation approached, she felt a burning desire to pursue hair and makeup as a career, so she hung up her cleats and dove headfirst into turning that dream into a reality.

Sammy studied cosmetology at the Paul Mitchell’s San Francisco Institute of Esthetics and Cosmetology. After graduating a year later, she found herself on the beautiful Central Coast. Sammy currently works downtown in San Luis Obispo at Bluebird Salon. Sammy’s ultimate goal is to give each and every one of her clients an experience that leaves them feeling relaxed, refreshed, and beautiful.

Sammy is married to her longtime love, Clayton, and they have three beautiful children together — Jackson, Willow, and Poppy.
