Michelle Cloudy

Thank you Sam for being the best tool in my bag! I would not have been able to satisfy my city's need of the Bob's explosive comeback without your hands on class last spring. Thank you.

Trish Thompson

Sam, this weekend was one of the best education classes I had in a long time. I taught color classes for a company and you blew me away. You're a great teacher and I can't wait to take another! Thanks for the whole Sammy experience.

Tracey Rochon

Sam Villa is amazing and inspiring. He is constantly changing and growing with the times and encourages and challenges all stylists to do the same. He totally rocks…

Debra Collins

I am a fan of Sam's work!! He is so inspiring and makes learning skills easy and fun!!

Amy DiCesare

Sam Villa is one of the greatest educators in the business! He gives me great inspiration and ideas to take back to the salon with me, making me feel that I have chosen to be part of the greatest profession around!! Thank You!!

Tracey Leyvas

I saw Sam at Fusion in Lexington, KY about 2 years ago. He is the best educator I have ever seen. He holds his audience captive, not hostage. He is very educational yet so alive!

Scarlet Kessler

Just attended my first workshop with Sam yesterday. FLOORED!!!! New Direction for me and my clients. Truly an inspiration!!!! Thank You!!!

Carrie

How lucky are we to have had Sam in our salon today. We enjoyed everything he showed us today, and by the way this was a second request from our staff.

Cathy Arce

Sam, I wanted you to know how much we as a team of stylists appreciate your talent of being a great educator and for sharing your talents and time with us. We had the wonderful opportunity to meet you at the Oakbrook, IL show and we were impressed with the quality of education presented to us. At the end of the show we all felt that we wanted to see more classes than we could get worked into the weekend. So I have signed up for your tips! I have 9 stylists, all who attended the show, and I want to tell you how it impressed us that we were able to communicate on a personal level and feel comfortable doing so. I hope we have the opportunity to meet again soon. Even after being in the business 44 years, it is always an inspiration and a shot of energy to attend classes of this quality. Sam, I love your spirit and desire to teach. You help so many to succeed! Thank You!

Linda Franz

Sam has always been a good educator and motivator and a creative artist. He has been one of my favorites since San Jose days. He is a blessing to our industry. BOBology and The Convertible are AWESOME. Hugs to you Sam and kisses too

Colleen West

I just returned from Calgary AB – where Sam “dazzled” us again! New Energy! The word Inspiring” just doesn’t cut it when trying to express how Sam impacted not only me but all who came to see him. I feel truly blessed for having the opportunity, yet again, to be on the receiving end of Sam’s brilliance. Sam, I love your energy and I am looking forward to sharing with my guests, co-stylists and all artists my experience with you! Thank you Sam!

Jenny Falcao

I am a Redken color specialist and I recently took Sam's class at the Redken Exchange. He got me excited about cutting again!

Jen Hastings

Sam, I was wowed watching and listening to you at the ABS in Chicago. I thank God for your talent and your willingness to teach what you have. I will very much like you to mentor me.

Mary

I really love the medium round brush and the smaller one also. They’re very good for fine damaged hair because it makes the hair feel much healthier and shiny. I used them at Fashion Week this season and also use them in the salon. I have been asked by clients about them as they love the result!

Jenny Balding

Hi Sam, I received my new Sam Villa cutting comb set today! Their wonderful! Also using the blow as you go technic and have cut out 15 mins . of time per guest leaving me with more time for add on services such as Chemical Shots. Love it.

Monna Holister

Sam, I have to say, that my finishing has improved 100% since I have starting using your brushes. It makes such a difference, sometimes I surprise myself. I have been doing hair for 35 yrs and my joints are starting to hurt: wrist, thumbs, elbows, and since using your brushes I dont seem to have to work as hard. Thank you so much for sharing you knowledge.

Carole Colletti

Love your new Irons Sam!! Don't know how I managed without them!!!

Lori Muccia

I have been using Sam’s round brushes and I absolutely love the way they smooth out hair and keep it controlled in the brush.  Thanks so much!

Ellen Lawlor

I love my TEXTUR, it is a perfect size and I can really get to the base of the hair if I need to.

Ellen Lawlor

Sam’s hot tools are lightweight, easy to use and heats up quickly which is best for last minute models. Fits in the hand well too.

Giovanni Giuntoli

Really good idea having the setting for color treated hair on the SLEEKR. Especially if a non-hairstylist is using them so not to burn their hair. Great to hold and use. Also the swivel cord is handy if you are using the irons to wave with. I really enjoyed using them at fashion week.

Jenny Balding

Thank you for such GREAT shears. I've had an injury and had to have surgery on my thumb and now my movement is limited. Your shears are helping me through my workday as I heal. They're wonderful!

Jennafer Catania

Cannot wait until symposium. Been using the texture shears and reg shears. Love them! My wrists thank you!

Theresa Quezada

Brilliant idea once you crimp the hair to give volume with the Textur iron! Excellent for big hair do. Thanks Sam xoxoxxo

Annita Hisham

When it comes to amazing tools I can trust to perform and last, Sam makes the investment in quality as well as innovation. His TEXTUR iron is my favorite for its editorial appeal as well as practical versatility. It’s perfect to use to give support to finer hair types to create lasting volume inside a pinned up style or to give hair a unique fabric like reflect to mimic the fusion of where wool meets silk that we see on the runway.

Meaghan Fray

Oh my God, seriously, the best shear I have ever felt and used - I have goosebumps - Amazing! Effortless! I have problems with my neck and felt instant relief when I went home to cut my daughter's hair last night. I'm cutting ergonomically correct. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Terri Grice

Sam- I met you several months ago and you gave me advice on how to keep my carpel tunnel under control. You are AMAZING!! Your shears REALLY work! If anyone out there is suffering from Carpel Tunnel please try Sam's shears before you have surgery and young people who are starting out- please save your self a lot of pain in your hands and sholders. Learn how to stand while cutting, use proper shears and make sure your chair is low enough that your elbows are not level with your sholders!

Christian McDonald

We just watched The Convertable in our salon and I was the first to get the cut. I love it, thanks!

Jenna Green

Thank you for such a great class today! Loved the entire day! Also - did The Bardot cut on a friend tonight . . . perfect . . and I LOVE my new 7 shears!!

Kris

I just got my new shears, and I have to say they are the best. I have never had a shear that fit so well. After 30 years in the industry they are the best. Thank you Sam for all my comfort. THANKS AGAIN!

Jimi Corbett

SHARE IN THE EXCITEMENT! For all of you that don’t already know – Kasho is great but Sam’s shears are Magnificent! From Kasho tired hands and wrists to your shears – Sam Villa shears are unparalleled!

Jenny Falcao

I received my scissors and changed them to left handed - it was quite easy after looking at them and they work great!

Megan Little

I am so thankful i came to your website. Your passion for doing hair is so contagious and refreshing. Thank you so much for sharing all of your information and techniques with us. I was particularly amazed by the twist cutting. I think i have a new hero. :)

Emily Smith

Sam's Aspire Tour DVD's are totally great. I like the altra ego Sam doing the virtual salon thing. It is clear and professionally done.

Steve Capelli

I love that you are bringing your wonderful education to life through the technology that we have available to us. I ordered your BOBology DVD and look forward to the others that you bring out. As a salon owner we are always looking for ways to educate our staff and this is going to be GREAT! The newest, youngest stylists are the ones that need this most yet don't have the funds to do the larger, hands on classes. This allows them great opportunities to have hands on training with Sam Villa! THANKS!

Pam Waldron

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your BOBOLOGY DVD! Thank you for your refreshing approach and ideas.

Marc A. Passalacqua

I just finished watching The 'V' DVD and LOVED IT!!! I cut my mannequin head and it looks great. The way you teach is easy to follow. Thanks!

Joanne

I saw you in St. Louis at the State Discover show, bought your Aspire Tour DVD collection and have totally changed my way of cutting hair, and for that I thank you!!!

Bridget Leinauer

Sam has always been a good educator and motivator and a creative artist. He has been one of my favorites since San Jose days. He is a blessing to our industry. BOBology and The Convertible are AWESOME. Hugs to you Sam and kisses too

Colleen West

Love the Hot Tips on fine hair cutting and fly-aways! Please keep these coming :-)

Lori Hadlock

Sunday morning I watched BOBology for the first time then Sunday afternoon I got out my shears and mannequin and a glass of wine and used the DVD the way you intended for it to be used. It turned out better than if I were in a class. Your format is PERFECT. So was my haircut, thank-you. So I am so excited I can't wait for the rest of the series. Your concept is powerful.

Chris Lewis

I attended Cutting with Sam and Chris at the Redken Exchange. WOW! I love Sam's BOBology and I truly get it! It is by far the best instruction of how to texture and remove weight from this haircut to creat the most beautiful BOB ever. Friendswood, TX loves Sam! You inspire me, thank you for constantly giving back to our industry!

Meresa Fincher

Sam.. I just wanted to let you know that your DVD BOBology is great.  I am a fairly new stylist (1 year) and I was struggling with this bob. I just completed your cut and my style came out beautiful.  I am really excited and looking forward to more DVD's from you. I also wanted to say you are a pleasure to learn from it was true reality. Thank you again.

Sue Lamb

I just purchased 2 of your videos. OMG, you really know how to show your work. I have gotten videos from so many different companies and none were as educational as yours. I just wanted to let you know how incredible you are in your teaching. You explain everything so well. I will be looking for one of your classes in NY very soon. Thanks again!

Vivian

I loved the consultation and hot tip e-mails. I forwarded them to every stylist I know! You rock Sam!

Kerianne Neff

Julie Lahr

I have been a hairstylist for 35 years. It is a challenge to stay excited about this industry when you are at the top of the class. Sam, you are an INSPIRATION and I thank you for challenging me to get out of the box.

Margaret Tingwall

Sam has been one of my mentors for years. I can visualize his concepts and then use my world to create my visions. My confidence through his teachings has resulted in one of the best guest lists anyone could ever imagine. The trust my guests have in me has kept this passion alive for the last 26 years. Thanks, Sam for a wonderful journey.

Paula Simone

I have been a working Stylist for over 40 years. Studied around the world and I have never seen a better teacher than Sam Villa.

Jane Lewers

My rheumatoid doctor told me if I was planning on continuing to cut hair for the next 5 years I should invest in Sam's shears to help me with my arthritic suffering.

Polly Gatewood

Sam is fantastic. I have seen him many times most recently the MGM Foxwoods in CT. He nevers seems to amaze me. Sam is so gracious and inspiring I couldn't wait to take his ideas back to the salon. My clients love it too.Thanks Sam

Lisa Surprenant

New favorite haircutThe V, I've been doin this haircut on a lot of clients and they are loving it!! Thanks Sam.

carlos carreon

Sam, I already had the wet and dry scissors.I then purchased the tool kit! I am in LOVE with all the Sam Villa Products! Finally, tools made by a stylist who lives behiend the chair, not some guy behiend a desk. I used all the techniques you taught me. Thank you for being so very Awesome!!!!

Marlaina Ciociola

Where do I start? I have used Hikari shears for 16 years. Never did I think I would put them down...Sam, I love, LOVE my 7inch shears and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the reversible texture shears. It is the most brilliant shear I own. Thank You! Jules

Julie Lahr

Sam Villa's Texture iron ROCKS!!! It adds volume without teasing and also adds interest to any style. Thanx Sam!

Amy Marino

The amount of information Sam gives in a class is amazing. Come prepared for a day of amazing ahah's. Sam is full of why things happen and how they work. Simple and faster, that is the theme. Less time, more results. What a concept. Something I can use behind the chair.
