Pam Sample at Michael Susanne Salon

As natural light pours through large windows in Michael Susanne Salon, so do scenes from the bustling Ann Arbor Farmers Market. Clients watch market-goers fight over the most eligible farmer outside while hair artists send dead ends floating delicately to the floor and nail technicians wield files with the care and precision of a violinist’s bow. It takes a professional hand to brandish instruments that transform appearances with such grace. Luckily, hairstylist Pam Sample has spent more than two decades in the industry. When not moonlighting as a photographer and mystery book author, her stylstic specialty is coloring, for which she uses Dikson Color products imported from Italy.
