Stylist
Samantha Penczak
Samantha Penczak works across lived in color and precision cutting. She is one of the busiest chairs in the studio, and clients consistently name her attention to detail and how comfortable she makes the appointment.
Samantha specializes in lived in color and precision cutting, and she is one of the busiest chairs at Shade Studio. If you are booking cut and color together, she is often the answer, because the shape and the placement get planned as one thing rather than in sequence.
What clients write about her most is not a technique, it is the experience: that she listens, that she asks the right questions, and that she takes the time to work out what you actually want before she starts. Several reviews use almost the same phrase about attention to detail.
She is happiest building effortless, low maintenance looks that still feel elevated. If you want healthy hair, honest advice and good conversation, book with Samantha.
