SAMANTHA PENNINGTON

Founder of Indigo Collective

Hair Extensions Specialist

Grey Coverage and Hair Color Expert

Level 4 Stylist

  I originally became a hairstylist because I wanted a career doing something fun. That reason quickly became something so much more. I realized the beauty industry allowed me to serve, love and build other women's confidence. It is so rewarding when a guest leaves the salon feeling more beautiful than when she came in.

     In 2018 I opened Indigo Collective to focus on three main goals: elevating the salon experience for our guests, running a company committed to eco conscious choices, and creating a salon culture that fosters support, empowerment and community.

 

     I absolutely love supporting my team and cheering them on as they build the career and life of their dreams. As our vision states...We are fulfilled by the lives we are able to touch by doing what we love.

On the weekends you'll find me working in my garden with my kids, watching a documentary with my husband or browsing through HomeGoods. I love to cook so If you have a favorite recipe, I'd love to try it out!

SERVICES

I’m returning to the heart of what started it all.

 

As I step into this new chapter, I’m filled with gratitude and genuine excitement to be opening up days behind the chair again—welcoming back loyal guests and making room for new ones too starting in August.

 

My passion has always lived here—in the hair, the people, and the connection. For a while, I tried to fit into the mold of the salon owner who “should” step away from the chair. But if I’m being honest, it never fully felt right or fulfilling. 

 

I understand the value of working on the business instead of in it—but I just love this part too much to let it go completely. And after some honest reflection the past few months, I realized that I miss being behind the chair so much and taking care of those who I’m honored to serve. 

 

There’s something beautiful about caring for people in this space. The conversations, the creativity, the trust, the transformation—it means more to me than I can put into words.

 

To every guest who has sat in my chair—past, present, or yet to come—thank you. You’re the reason this part of my work feels so meaningful. If you know someone who’s looking for a stylist who genuinely loves what they do, I’d be honored to be considered.

 

And most importantly—thank you. You’re the part of this journey I just can’t walk away from. This industry truly holds my heart.

With gratitude,

Samantha

HAIR EXTENSION EXPERIENCE

Not only will you have the most lightweight and comfortable hair you've had, no one will actually

believe you have hair extensions until you show them.

Methods used create less damage, hides better in the hair and won't slip out when properly maintained.

All hair can be custom colored and cut to blend perfectly with your natural hair.

 

A virtual or in salon consultation and deposit is required to book your initial install appointment. During your complimentary consultation Samantha will go over their recommendations on which application is right for your hair and lifestyle ,as well as maintenance, color options available, investment and how long you should expect to be in the salon during your experience. 

Keratin Bonded Extensions

Keratin bonded hair extensions — also called K-tip extensions — are a semi-permanent hair extension method where small sections of extension hair are attached to your natural hair using a keratin tip (a small, clear bond made from the same protein your hair is made of) and move with your natural like.

Best for guests who want to go longer in between maintenance appointments, who lead active lifestyles, desire length and/or volume, or would like to fill in finer areas (like the sides of the head)

Hand Tied Hair Extensions

One of the benefits of choosing hand-tied extensions over another methods is that, when installed, your stylist won’t need assistance from glue or heat to keep them in place. Not only does this allow the hair to move naturally with your head, but it also helps protect your natural hair from damage.

Multiple methods offered for complete customization and comfort.

Best for guests with shoulder length hair who desire length and/or volume
