Barberton's Color Studio

Hello there — let's make your color feel like you.

I'm Samantha, and I've spent years perfecting the art of custom hair color — from lived-in balayage that grows out beautifully to bold transformations that turn heads. Every appointment is a conversation first, so your look is as individual as you are.

What I Offer

Services built around your hair story

Custom Color

From subtle dimension to full transformation — I formulate every color service specifically for your hair type, skin tone, and lifestyle.

Balayage & Highlights

Hand-painted, sun-kissed results that grow out gracefully. Freehand technique for a naturally dimensional look that's uniquely yours.

Precision Cuts

A cut that complements your color and enhances your features. Every detail is considered — from layers to texture to the perfect finish.

Toning & Gloss

Restore shine, neutralize brassiness, and refresh your color between major appointments. A quick treatment with dramatic results.

Bridal & Special Events

Your big day deserves a color and style that photographs beautifully and lasts all night. Consultations available to plan your look.

Color Correction

Botched box color? Faded and uneven? I specialize in restoring damaged, mismatched hair to something beautiful and healthy-looking.

About Samantha

More than color — it's a relationship

I opened my studio on West Tuscarawas because I wanted a space where clients feel genuinely heard. Too many people walk into a salon and leave with something they didn't ask for. That's not my approach.

I take the time to understand how you live, what you're willing to maintain, and what makes you light up when you see yourself in the mirror. Then I make it happen — with products that protect your hair and techniques that have been refined over more than a decade.

Whether you're coming in for a first-time balayage or a complete color overhaul, you'll leave feeling like the best version of yourself. That's the standard I hold myself to, every single appointment.

Kind Words

What my clients say

"I've been to so many colorists over the years and finally found someone who actually listens. Samantha remembered my preferences from our very first visit and made me feel like the only client in the room."

— A longtime client, Barberton

"Samantha fixed a disaster I'd caused at home with box dye. I was ready to cut it all off and she turned it into the best color I've ever had. I literally cried in her chair — happy tears."

— K.M., Akron

"My bridal hair and color were absolutely perfect. Samantha understood exactly what I wanted from our consultation and delivered beyond my expectations. Every photo looks like a magazine shot."

— M.R., Cuyahoga Falls
