MEET TODAY’S GUEST
Samantha Gothe
Led by Samantha, a member of the prestigious Core 15 North American team for Milk_shake, Flourish brings a high level of expertise and education to the salon.
Samantha’s leadership style is rooted in mentorship, and that commitment to growth shows in both the team and the client experience.
“Invest in your hair, it is the crown you can’t take off.”
THE INTERVIEW
A Different Kind of Salon Experience
Right now, clients are loving low-maintenance, lived-in looks — soft dimension, subtle grow-out-friendly styles, and natural movement that doesn’t require constant upkeep. Warm copper and red tones are also trending strongly, adding vibrancy while still feeling modern and wearable.
More Than Just Hair
What truly sets Flourish apart is the atmosphere. Many clients from Cranberry Township and the surrounding North Hills say the studio feels approachable and calming — the opposite of intimidating.
The team has built strong community connections by hosting meaningful events, most recently “Gather and Glow,” a holiday pop-up celebrating the opening of their new head spa that welcomed around 50 guests.
“My favorite part of running the salon is witnessing transformations and building meaningful relationships with my clients,” Samantha shared.
Exciting Things Coming in 2026
Flourish is expanding its service menu in the coming months with:
Lash lifts and tints
Brow lamination and tinting
Full head spa experience
Body waxing (starting in April)
These additions will give clients even more ways to feel their best from head to toe.
A Message for Cranberry Locals
If you’ve been hesitant to try a new salon, Samantha wants you to know this:
“Not every space in the Cranberry Township area is intimidating — there are welcoming, approachable environments where clients can feel completely at ease.”
Their favorite quote says it all:
“Invest in your hair, it is the crown you can’t take off.”
