Meet the stylist

Sammy.

Owner-stylist behind Love Thy Barber. Born and raised in Salt Lake County. The whole point of opening my own studio was to do hair the way I always wanted to — slow enough to listen, sharp enough to deliver.

Every appointment starts with a real consultation. Every chemistry decision is honest. And every cut, color, and fade gets the time it actually needs — not the time a chain-shop schedule allows.

How I work.

Hair is one of the few crafts where the same person walks out looking visibly different than they walked in. That’s a real responsibility — especially when someone’s spending two-plus hours and a few hundred dollars on the chair. I take that seriously.

I work with premium color lines (Redken Shades EQ, Wella, Schwarzkopf), bond-builders woven into every lift, and salon-grade tools. But the products are not the secret. The secret is consultation. I want to know your face shape, your texture, your last three haircuts, and what you actually wear day to day. Then I design a cut or color around all of that — not around what’s on someone else’s mood board.

I cut both women’s and men’s hair, and I take that seriously too. Most salons make you choose. I trained in both — precision scissor work for women’s shapes, scissor-over-comb and skin-fade clipper work for men’s — because the best stylists I learned from did both, and the cross-training makes both sides sharper.

Where to find me.

The studio lives inside Salon Lofts at 10965 State St #217 in Sandy, UT— just off the 9000 South exit on I-15, with free covered parking right out front. It’s a private suite, not a chain shop floor, so the only people in the room during your appointment are you and me.

I take clients from across Salt Lake County — Sandy, Draper, South Jordan, Cottonwood Heights, Midvale, Salt Lake City. Sandy directions · SLC directions · Draper directions.
