Wilda Batin Dr. Sammie truly has magic hands! I ended up at her salon after a curly hair specialist I had planned to visit in Redwood City was a no-show. Desperate for a cut, I searched online and called Dr. Sammie. She told me to come on in, saying, “I gotchu,” and she absolutely delivered.
I have incredibly curly hair and don’t trust just anyone to cut it, so I was nervous at first. But watching her work with such ease and skill—it was clear she knew exactly what she was doing. Dr. Sammie has been cutting hair for over 30 years, and her expertise really showed. She handled my curls beautifully, giving me exactly the cut I wanted. It’s not about the type of hair you have—it’s about the stylist’s skills, and Dr. Sammie’s are unmatched.
She washed, cut, and styled my hair at a great price, all while making me feel at ease. It just so happened to be my birthday, and she made the experience even more special with her humor, attentiveness, and amazing energy. I even learned a little Chinese during my visit!
When she was done, I left feeling lighter, freer, and most importantly, confident. My curls looked amazing, and I couldn’t stop smiling. Her scissor work is so quick and precise—I was in and out in no time.
If you have curly hair and need someone who knows how to handle it, I highly recommend Dr. Sammie. Her skills, honesty, and great vibes make her a true gem!

Jeanne Miller Winnie was referred to me for a curly mullet cut. I got lucky with a call ahead appointment. She gave me exactly what I asked for with a reference photo, and she encouraged me to take around the ears a little shorter. Im very happy with how it came out! Very nice and efficient, and she styled it with product before I left. You cant beat this price in the city.
Bonus: the cable car runs right past the shop!

Arlyn Mendoza Sammie did a wonderful job with my curly hair, great price too. She cares about her customers and I felt very comfortable in the salon. She helped me achieve my curly hair style. I will be returning every 4 months! It felt impossible to find a curly cut for a great price and great service. I am grateful I found Sammie.
