SAMANTHA GONZALEZ

Samantha is originally a Dallas native, but she's been calling Chandler her home for almost 9 years now. With a knack for all things hair and beauty, Samantha's journey has been quite the adventure.

Certified in Brazilian blowouts and armed with six Redken color certificates, Samantha is your go-to gal for anything hair-related. She's also got the skills in TaylerMadeHair cutting and shaping, plus blonding techniques down pat. And when it comes to Lanza products, she's practically a walking encyclopedia.

Outside the salon, Samantha's a mom to an energetic 8-year-old boy who keeps her on her toes. Between mommy duties and styling, she somehow manages to find time for her guilty pleasures – cuddling up with romance novels and getting hooked on true crime shows. 

And of course, all paired with a glass of sweet red wine.

Samantha's smile is as warm as her personality, so it's no wonder she'd pick Melissa McCarthy to play her in a movie about her life. 

If you want to chat hair or book an appointment,
