Samantha La Due
A colorist and educator, Samantha has been with BX since the jump. In 2019, she brought over a decade of experience in hair color, smoothing treatments, and extensions to our team. Since then, she has led education, working the entire time with an assistant. She has trained and mentored dozens of artists at BLONDELUXE and remains a leader in her own services by always striving for perfection and genuine connection with every guest. We celebrate her as she takes the next step into motherhood in early 2025! If you are a current guest of Samantha’s, please reach out to us ASAP to ensure you’re able to get booked with her before her maternity leave and are accommodated by the best artist for your needs in her absence.

Leading in years of experience (2023 marks her sixteenth year behind the chair). Samantha is a natural leader and mentor to all at BLONDELUXE. In addition to behind-the-chair artistry, she also co-directs our training program for budding talent. Guests who see Samantha share in this process as she is accompanied by an assistant who shadows and partakes in the finishing/styling steps of a service.
Samantha joined BLONDELUXE in its infancy in May of 2019 and has been integral in our success, brand, and culture. A visionary, steadfast in her values, nurturing and curious, Samantha is a natural relationship-builder.
Guests who thrive in Samantha’s chair range in hair type, goals, and background, but all value her meticulous approach to designing their look. From bold golds + coppers, to edgy platinum blondes, from mauve mullets to rich chocolate to gray-coverage, Samantha is continually inspired by the ever-changing world of hair color.
Passionate about luxury hair care, Samantha traveled to Paris in 2022 with the prestigious Kérastase brand for advanced training and immersion into French hair culture. As Samantha looks forward to the next chapters of her career, she feels inspired by the opportunity to use her skill set to guide guests that are looking to achieve balance and healing in their hair journey.
