Welcome, My Hauntingly Vivacious Friends…
This is my rebirth.
I’m Sam—your gratuity-free, gender-neutral, time-based hair artist, specializing in hair wellness rooted in ritual, healing, and harmony.
Cut the Dead is more than a chair—it’s a safe space to be authentically you.
Show up in your jogging pants with no makeup. Bring 3 drinks (because obviously, one hot and one cold is just not enough ). Snack, order fries, inhale them between laughs—no judgment here, just vibes. This space is built for you to feel whole, welcome, and seen.
Say yes, guilt-free, to looking fabulous even if you’re "just going home to clean," "just grabbing groceries," or "just taking a nap." (You can totally look good and nap—Aurora did.)
Meet the Founder
Hi, I’m Sam.
Your gratuity-free, gender-neutral, time-based hair artist.
I offer a unique twist on hair artistry by being the only holistic vivid and curly hairstylist in the Niagara region, Ontario. What does that mean? It means you won’t find a triple threat quite like me.
I have been a hair artist for 8 years, and have been completely obsessed with vivid hair for as long as I can remember. I have spent the last 8 years learning everything I can about vivids.
The past 2 years I have been deep diving into education specifically around curly and wavy hair. I certainly wouldn’t call my self a specialist- I have a long way to go. I do really love this journey of discovery that I am on.
The holistic part of my business extends past being behind the chair. I have cartomancy and spiritual offerings available to everyone. I also have some ebooks that I have created just for baby witches starting out. ( Get in touch if you want one- it’s free 😊) This upcoming year 2025 I will be expanding on my signature Lunar Cuts ᵗᵐ+ Scalp facials.
🌛I went to a specialty school for visual art when I was in high school. I have created art my entire life. I have been working my way through all the OG women of Horror.
🌛I am a 3rd generation Witch. I was raised by a Cherokee mother, I grew up learning a wide range of holistic techniques. My path and practices vary. I am a solitary witch for the most part but can be convinced to come out and play from time to time. I take my craft very seriously and have built a beautiful and deep practice within it.
🌛I am a 200hr certified yoga instructor working towards my 500hr. I would love to teach yoga one day.
🌝I am a dog mom of two imperfect fur babies, Morticia and Minerva. Both are mini poodle mixes. They are my children and I love them more than words could say.
🌝 I am in a relationship with my best friend + soul mate. Both of us are part of the alphabet mafia. He is the hun to my yang. The golden retriever to my black cat.
🌜I enjoy horror movies, documentaries, and of course anything magical
🌜I love coffee, we have 2 coffee machines.
🌜 I collect tattoos, vintage art, books, and tarot/oracle decks.
🌜I love listening to classical music + jazz
If you throw on a 90’s- 00’s playlist I will break my back but I’ll twerk. ( Not well mind you but I’ll try.)
I hope to see you in my chair soon and hope you have a hauntingly delicious day.
