Samantha Wilcox
I’m an independent hairstylist based at Opal Luxe Salon in downtown Portsmouth, New Hampshire, licensed in New Hampshire and Maine. I specialize in spa-like shampoos, intentional haircuts, balayage, hair painting, and other color services for all genders, with a special interest in French plein-air style /balayage highlights and color.
I am currently working toward achieving level 2 in Usui Reiki Energy Healing as well, planning to embark on that level in Autumn 2026.
My career as a licensed stylist began in 1994, after I served an exclusive apprenticeship at a small, extraordinary salon in Portsmouth NH.
I still seek out the most modern, fashion-forward ways to cut, color, and style hair. As an apprentice, my Sassoon-trained instructor imprinted her cutting techniques and instilled the drive to further my coloring skills independently. When I worked for a corporate salon, I availed myself of their in-house and out-of-state education opportunities, earning seven certificates in six years for color and styling. I continually pursue education through relevant artists whom I admire and draw inspiration from.
The accountability I feel toward my clients and mentors inspires me to continually pursue excellence while striving to provide superior service and luxurious, wearable results.
