Sam Rose Salon, is a friendly creative hair salon for men, women, kids and seniors owned by Samantha Rose Moog. “I wanted to create a shop like the one in the movie Steel Magnolias, a place where everyone would feel comfortable,” Moog said.

The Salon is located next to the Blairstown Diner at 55 Rout 94, Blairstown NJ. Sam Rose Salon specializes in hair color with a low ammonia product enriched with aloe. They offer Keratin treatments, a semi-permanent process that is ideal for curly hair to reduce frizz and straighten the hair while also making it appear silky smooth, and shiny.
They also offer hair Botox, a non-chemical conditioning treatment that infuses the hair with a protective barrier and repairs any damage to the hair without chemicals.
Some other services offered include eyebrows, lip line and chin waxing, as well as acrylic, gel and polygel nail services. Gel nails are different from acrylic nails as they are not an extension of the natural nail, but a polish that can last for up to 2 weeks. Gel nail polish is applied similarly to normal polish and is cured under a UV light.
The result is a glossy, chip free manicure. Another nail treatment offered is polygel, applied over natural nails, or as a nail enhancement. It is still cured under a UV light, but it is a lot lighter than both gel and acrylic nails.
The salon offers manicures and pedicures, by appointment or walk ins.
Moog grew up in Blairstown, graduated from North Warren High School and then went to Capri Cosmetology School in Ledgewood NJ, graduating top of her class. She is married and has a son and three beautiful stepdaughters.
Tis the season to be generous for the holidays. Sam Rose Salon will be making Christmas care packages to help local families in need this Christmas. Come by a week after Thanksgiving see what the families need. All donations should be unwrapped. They need food, clothing, toys for the children and gift cards to help with rising fuel costs.

My name is Marybeth Journe, I feel blessed to be living in this part of New Jersey. I have enjoyed this community taking advantage of the lakes and woods. Always supporting the local businesses that make this my home. As a local artist myself, I know many of our residence if not by name, at least by sight. I feel comfortable interviewing others. I have worked for The Paulinskill Valley Chronical where I provided articles, photographs and billing. I consider myself an artist, journalist, naturalist, gardener and a teacher for the YMCA Camp Mason. I look forward to the work ahead
