"Everyone at FS is genuinely very passionate about their job and they care so much about their clients. And our stylists are always helping each other out: giving pointers and tips or teaching new techniques. I wouldn’t be at Fantastic Sams if it wasn’t for all the support from my salon family."
Sarah
"I chose FS as a place to work because when I left beauty school, it was just me and my little baby. I needed to make money fast and I needed a lot of education in a short amount of time. So, the idea of having people brought to me while learning in a fast-paced industry was really appealing to me."
Olivia
"My experience as a new stylist coming into Fantastic Sams has been amazing as far as furthering my education, creating a salon-family, and my management team has just been very, very, very supportive."
Jessica
"Fantastic Sams is really great because it brings in the clientele for you. Whether you’re switching from a different salon where you’ve built your own clientele over the years or you’re a newer stylist, you’re always going to be busy at FS. The pay is also very competitive with a base rate plus commission, there’s room for growth."
Kat
"The culture in our salon is very energetic and family oriented. We get to be day-makers for our clients and give them the hairstyle they’re looking for, while working in a fun environment. A lot of my co-workers have been together for a long time, and we genuinely love working together. I feel fortunate to have been here for nine years!"
Kim
"When I was self-employed, I had to worry about paying rent, ordering color, taking care of the utility bills, building my books. And now at FS, it’s a different type of responsibility. You show up, you help your team grow, you have flexible hours and get to be creative using all your skills."
Mai
"I love that Fantastic Sams allows me to determine the schedule that works for my family’s needs, whether that’s 9am-5pm or 12-8pm. I have a lot of flexibility with my schedule, so I can continue doing what I enjoy while doing what works for my family."
Emma
"Going from a salon where I was only cutting hair to going to a more full-service salon, FS was nice about pacing things for me, so I was able to slowly ease my way back into color. I did one-on-one training with my manager, and virtual classes as well, which was easy to build into my schedule. I was slowly able to open my books for more services, which helped me not get overwhelmed."
Frankie
"Fantastic Sams cares a lot about their employees. As a student, I was invited to their Employee Appreciation Event and saw first-hand how much they actually care about their staff. They’ve also helped me get a leg up in school because I’ve seen how stylists interact with their clients and can watch the natural flow of their conversations and consultations."
Austin
"I love walking into FS every day. It’s always something new and fun. We have music playing, the salon is beautiful, my co-workers are having fun, too. I always have a variety of clients on my books—from kids to teenagers and even elderly clients. And it’s fun knowing I’m walking into the salon and doing a variety of services that day."
Annalee
"My average day at FS can range from a full day of colors, a full day of cuts, a mix of both, and sometimes there’s even a perm thrown in the mix. Every day is going to be different, and that’s the fun of it. What I really love about this job is every day is a new challenge, which is important to me as a new stylist."
Sara
"I like the ability to have both walk-ins and appointments at FS because it really helps build my clientele. At this point, my books are pretty packed, which lets me use my creative skills behind the chair. A lot of my clients trust me and say, “Do what you want.” It’s fun to have those guests and be creative with all the skills you have built yourself, and that Fantastic Sams has helped you build."
Amanda
"I’ve worked at a higher-end salon previously, and I find I make more money working out of Fantastic Sams. I was unsure when I first started working at FS if it would be enough to take care of my family, but after a short period of time, I was already making more money. I’m really proud to know I can take care of my family and anything that comes up."
