A master colorist.A fine art painter.
For twenty-six years, Samina has practiced two crafts in tandem - hair as architecture, and oil paint as language. Each informs the other. Her atelier in Raleigh is a place where clients return for decades, not appointments.

Two disciplines. One steady hand.
A Master's approach to Luminous Blondes and dimensional, Expensive Brunettes - engineered with a painter's understanding of light and shadow.
Study I
The Luminous Blonde
Light, dimension, clarity.
Custom blonde composed in transparent layers. Engineered for clarity, integrity of the strand, and light that reads from across a room.

Study II
The Expensive Brunette
Quiet luxury, in colour.
Multi-tonal depth built the way a painter builds shadow - chestnut beneath espresso beneath a whisper of warmth. A high-shine, quiet-luxury finish.

I have been going to Samina for 17 years and she never disappoints.

Samina is amazing. She knows hair. In the 10 years I have been in Raleigh I have not found anyone who can cut and color my very thick but super easy manageable hair the right way. Her attention to detail is singular.

I LOVE this salon. It's chic and stylish, and I always leave feeling beautiful. Samina always gives me a fresh cut that works perfect with my thick curls. It's really clear that she understands how to work with different types of hair.
- Zahra T.
I came in with a head full of bright red hair covering purple from a past color correction. Samina did an EXCELLENT job restoring my hair to its original coppery, strawberry blonde. It looks and feels amazing.
