Samia "Samie" Gonzalez

Owner | Lead Stylist

“Mom-Preneur” Samie, when she isn’t busy behind the chair giving clients the long thick full hair, they’ve always desired, she is being chauffeur, chef, and everything in-between to her two very busy kiddos.

If you’ve ever met Samie, you’ll know that she never settles for less. She continues to learn and drive her business forward in any way that she can. She became a salon owner with two goals in mind. One, to create an environment where stylist can flourish and grow to be the best versions of themselves. Two, to leave a legacy for her family and children.

When she isn’t being mom, wife or stylist, she is busy with all the behind-the-scenes action. She not only loves working IN the beauty industry, but she also loves all things marketing and strategy specifically for the beauty industry. That love as earned her a position in the “Elite Tribe” for a marketing and strategy group just for stylist, Thriver’s Society. She was one of the forty selected around the U.S out of thousands who applied, and she was most certainly honored to be a part of such an incredible mastermind.

If she isn’t creating next week’s IG Post, she is creating custom balayage’s on her guest or matching their hair for their next set of extensions. Speaking of extensions, she currently holds 6 extension certifications in which the very most recent being in the nationally known IBE®️ Method. Not only does she love adding length and/or volume with tape or handtied extensions, but she also loves to see the transformations of the Revive Hair Enhancement system.

As a busy “Mom-Preneur”, she values her time with her family and her friends. She enjoys her Sunday Brunches, trying all the best brunch places in Nola with her family or catching up on the newest true crime series. Podcasts have also been a new favorite since they are great on the go!
