Maven + Grace; a boutique salon — Local services in McMinnville

Samantha (Sam) is my Hairstylist for life! I have been going to Sam ever since I was in high-school (2011) and she has been through all of my different hair styles, colors, cuts over the years and has always done an amazing job. I now live in Tacoma Washington but I still schedule to see Sam each year when I visit Mcminnville. She is so knowledgeable about hair and knows how to ask the right questions to make sure she knows your hair goals and vision. I love how honest she is when I ask for suggestions about my next hair idea and she has never steered me wrong. She has fixed my hair countless times (from bad haircuts I either gave myself or that I recieved from another hair salon) and brought my confidence back each time. She never judges any of my ideas or makes me feel bad when I mess up my hair (hair scissors should always be kept away from me or ill do something stupid Lol), she will just smile and offer great solutions or ideas that will help me get to what I want again.

Sam is one of the warmest, down to earth, and professional hair stylists that I have ever met and you will never go wrong with choosing her. She is what all hair stylists should strive to be like! I always feel like I'm glowing after I leave her chair and I get so many compliments on my hair from family, friends, and even random passing strangers!

(Sadly my photos of my past hair cuts/styles were on my old phone so I have to resort to these poorer quality images, but I hope to add better ones after my next appointment with Sam to show off her...

I love the aesthetic and feel of this cozy and friendly salon. It’s light, lively and lovely.

I came to Sam with a pretty botched hair cut and a really bad color. She was very positive and optimistic that we could fix what I was working with. She was honest and realistic and told me that it would be a process. After my first appointment I was shocked. She really is an artist and professional. She fixed my hair. I remember her telling me I could have the length I wanted and the color I wanted, I was so relieved. I wish I had before and after pictures to share. She is friendly and funny. My appointments always seem to fly by. I cannot recommend her enough! I get so many compliments on my cut and color and I am always eager to give Sam her flowers when this happens.

I could go on and on. I’m a very happy client and find comfort in trusting my stylist...

I was a new client and made an appointment with Sam and unfortunately fell ill the morning of and had to cancel I never heard anything back from her after messaging her to reschedule I called the salon multiple times and was never gotten back to I then messaged Bethany and booked with her through the website she seemed happy to take me and do my hair I sent her inspiration pictures which she said she could do and told me what to book it under we were going back and forth over text and everything seemed perfectly fine, and then she said out of no where she didn’t think we’d be a good fit and canceled my appointment 2 days after I booked it and a week before said appointment. I have no idea what I did wrong there was no communication and I’ve never met her before or gone to this salon the customer service is not good and honestly poor way to handle things...
