Samantha Courtois

The ladies at 5 Diamond Salon were amazing! They were so efficient and were able to accommodate all of our requests. They made our day that much better, I highly recommend Sam and her team!

The gals were so fun, very professional, and made us feel totally beautiful 🤩 Highly recommend!

We used Samantha (5 Diamond Salon) for our hair and makeup - we had 5 people --- Bride, 2 Bridesmaids, Officiant, and MOB. The first person in the makeup chair went over time and we lagged behind for the rest of the day --- my MOH had her hairstyle rushed to finish on time. I did ask Samantha to fit someone who was just receiving a blowout later in the day which she did warn me might be pushing the timeline. We had luckily built more time in the day than we needed to for pre-ceremony pictures so we were able to get back on track with time to spare. Our makeup looked natural for many of us who are not regular makeup wearers and I was really pleased with how my hair held up all night long! Would recommend just make sure to add buffer time as its hard to predict how long each person will take!

I am so glad that I booked 5 Diamond Salon for our wedding! Jaci was fantastic to work with - we had so much fun both at our trial and on the morning of my wedding! She made me feel so special during my bridal makeup and I am so happy with the final product. Everything stayed on all night, and I felt so beautiful. My bridesmaids, Mom, Aunt, and Mother-In-Law all looked stunning as well! I'd recommend 5 Diamond Salon to any bride in the Massachusetts/New Hampshire area! Thank you again Jaci!

What can I even say about Sam and her team at 5 Diamond Salon? I booked them with a referral from a friend who swore that they were amazing, and they were! Makayla did my bridal trial and it was absolutely perfect and exactly what I envisioned! I had no doubts that my hair and makeup were going to be amazing! Sam coordinated everything and the timeline worked out great! We had four bridesmaids, two sisters, two flower girls hair, and one mom’s makeup and the timing of the coordination was perfect! Makayla and Courtney showed up on time to our getting ready space and was ready to go! They stayed ahead of the timeline and were so efficient! Our hair and makeup services turned out great and everyone was raving! After they left for the morning, my now husband dislocated and broke his ankle three and half hours before our wedding which turned into a whirlwind of a day, which included tears. My makeup and hair stayed perfect the entire time and I did not require touch-ups after everything that had happened. Everything stayed in place and my bridal party was shocked that my makeup stayed perfect throughout the day! All of this to say, I highly recommend 5 Diamond Salon! They were so fabulous, efficient, and professional! 15/10 stars.

I'm so glad I booked 5 Diamond Salon for my wedding day! I had 10 people getting their hair and makeup done the morning of my wedding and Jaci, Alivia, and Rachael made sure we stuck to the detailed timeline they put together for us. They were very professional and showed up right on time. Everyone looked and felt beautiful and loved the end look the got. Jaci, Alivia, and Rachael also accommodated various hair and skin types to ensure everyone looked and felt their best. 10/10 recommend booking 5 Diamond Salon for your big day - you won't regret it!

Highly recommend!! I had 9 people that got their hair and makeup done the morning of my wedding and not a single person was disappointed. Everyone looked beautiful and their requested hair styles and makeup were executed perfectly. Jaci personally did my hair and makeup and I could tell during my trial this was an area I wouldn’t have to worry about during the morning of the big day. She was very receptive to what I wanted. Having a lot of long, thick hair, she pulled off a low bun updo without making it look like I had a giant ball hanging off my head (an impressive feat). Also not wearing a lot of makeup usually, she was able to do a natural airbrush that made me feel beautiful but still feel like “me”. This company was very professional traveling to my location and communication was always in a timely manner. Sam always responded to emails quickly and was very easy to communicate and coordinate with. Would highly recommend to any bride in the surrounding area.

I absolutely loved how my makeup and hair turned out for my wedding! All of my girls loved theirs as well. The artists we worked with (Jaci and Sam) were so sweet and really cared about their work. I would highly recommend them!

5 Diamond Salon was recommended by my wedding planner and I'm so happy I hired them! They showed up at our hotel on time and were super efficient despite my bridesmaids and I being a little frazzled on wedding day. Nicole and Makayla did our hair and makeup and they did an AWESOME job. My bridesmaids couldn't stop raving about their hair and makeup. My wedding was outside and it was super hot but our makeup stayed put all night! I also think they were very reasonably priced and really fun to chat with all morning!

The one thing I had trouble finding for my wedding was hair and makeup, and I am SO glad after a long search I found this team! I cannot say enough great things about 5 Diamond Salon! They were so accommodating and communicative, adjusting their whole schedule at the last minute to add my mother and my mother in law for both hair and makeup! Jaci and Nicole were both so warm and kind on the day of and did an AMAZING job. One of my bridesmaids who has been in several weddings the past two years said this was the best hair and makeup she'd ever gotten! Jaci and Nicole did such a great job making sure everyone felt special and beautiful. My hair and makeup was everything I wanted and lasted all night on a pretty wild dance floor. They made what could have been a very stressful day so easy and fun!

Sam did our hair and Rachel did our makeup and everything came out amazing! During my trial appointment they were really receptive to what I wanted came up with something great!

I had an amazing experience with Samantha and the 5 Diamond Salon team! During my trial I showed Samantha inspiration photos and she executed my dream hairstyle on the first try! I have thicker, long hair and the updo stayed SO secure I never wanted to take it out. On my wedding day, she and Alivia arrived early and were so professional and organized. While Alivia prepped hair by curling, Samantha looked at everyone's inspiration photos and executed their hairstyles so efficiently and everyone loved how their hair came out! I had 7 bridesmaids and my mom and mother in law get their hair done. Everyone was so happy with how their hair came out and the styles lasted throughout the night. They also had such a calm demeanor that kept everyone at ease and relaxed and having fun while getting ready. I couldn't recommend them enough!

Jace and Courtney were on time, professional, and did an amazing job on our hair and makeup. They made sure we were all happy with how we looked before finishing. Communication with the salon was thorough and stress free.

Sam and her team are AMAZING at what they do! I'm not one to wear a lot of make/like the way getting my makeup done looks - but I couldn't have been happier with how my hair and makeup came out. Even my mom (who wasn't planning on getting her makeup done) decided to get hers done (with airbrush!) and said she felt glamourous and was so happy she chose to do it. The trial was awesome and gave me a great idea of what I wanted, even though I made a few changes on wedding day. Sam made a schedule with a timeline for all bridesmaids hair & makeup which kept things super organized and made the morning flow nicely. She does lots of weddings, so sometimes it took a little longer to hear back via email - but she always does respond! Overall, everyone was so happy with their hair and makeup and I'd recommend Sam and her team to anyone!!

Makayla and Nicole spent time learning my preferences during the trial and executed perfectly on the big day! They were all set up at the venue before the girls and I arrived. Sam was very responsive and accommodating via email. Highly recommend 5 Diamond Salon for both your hair and makeup needs.

I'm so happy I found 5 Diamond Salon and booked their services for hair and makeup for myself and by bridal party! Samantha was very responsive and helpful via email, including creating a schedule for the morning of the wedding and helping book my trial appointment. I did my hair and makeup trial in person at the salon with Jaci and even with pretty limited guidance on makeup and showing her just a couple hair inspiration photos, she created a look that I really liked! Jaci did all the makeup on my wedding day and Nicole did the majority of the hair. They were an efficient team and arrived early to set up. The bridesmaids and my mom were all happy with how they looked and it was fun and relaxing to get ready together with the whole group at our airbnb. Their fees were affordable and within my budget and I was really happy I chose this salon for my wedding day!

We had Sam and Makayla to do our hair and make up on my wedding day and they were incredibly flexible, experienced, and kept up with the timeline they created. I felt so incredibly beautiful on my wedding day because of them. Sam was highly responsive to my emails throughout the planning process and helped me feel stress free in the process.

5 Diamond Salon was recommended to me by a coworker who is a regular client at the salon. Samantha is the owner and helps to coordinate for your wedding day. The salon was extremely responsive leading up to the day of my wedding, and the prices were very reasonable. I had a hair and make up trial with Jaci. She was extremely kind and executed my desired “look” perfectly. During my trial, I showed her a picture of various up do’s and she helped create a perfect low bun that worked with my hair length and thickness. I wanted an all natural make up look, and decided to go with the air brush make up. I left my trial feeling so beautiful and knew Jaci would do a great job on the day of my wedding. For the wedding day, Samantha created a time line for my bridal party. This included times each person would be getting their hair and make up done. This was super helpful, and kept things moving on the day of. On my wedding day, our stylists were Jaci and Tiff. Both stylists were extremely efficient and professional. Every girl was so happy with their hair and make up. Jaci far exceeded my expectations with my hair and make up on wedding day! I will definitely be going back to 5 Diamond Salon.

We had Courtney and Makayla as hair and make up stylists! They were both very kind, and attentive and ended up running ahead of schedule which was awesome! They did a great job of listening to each persons’ specific requests, and tailored services accordingly. When it came time for my services, I voiced some areas from my trial that I wanted to adjust, and they made sure all of those requests were completed. Our wedding day was exceptionally humid and hot (almost 100 degrees), and all hair styles stayed in place and never flattened. I highly recommend 5 Diamonds Salon!

Samantha and the whole 5 Diamond Salon were wonderful to work with. The team is fast and efficient. We had 8 for hair and 6 for make up the morning of my wedding and the team was done in less than 4 hours. I was very happy with the results and everyone was stunning. Highly recommend these girls for your wedding day needs!

5 Diamon Salon was wonderful to work with! I had my hair and makeup trial in December but decided to change my hair come June for the wedding day and they were quick to pivot and had no problems making a change. They were so friendly, easy to talk to, and very speedy – they were ahead of schedule even though there were 11 of us getting ready that morning! Everyone's hair and makeup looked gorgeous.

5 Diamond Salon did such an incredible job with my wedding hair and makeup! I worked specifically with Jaci for my hair/makeup. She was so kind during the trial, really making sure I loved what she created. She brought such an element of calm to the morning of my wedding (and it was an early morning-my wedding was a noon), and made me and my bridesmaids feel so beautiful! Nicole did a wonderful job with my bridesmaids hair as well! It was even better that they were able to travel to us, and getting ready at my parents house was such a special touch! I would highly recommend 5 Diamond Salon!!

I worked with Courtney and Nicole for my wedding hair and makeup and they did an amazing job! I had 6 bridesmaid and 2 moms who all did their hair and makeup and they were able to get all of us done in a very timely fashion. The salon put together a detailed timeline for the morning which was super helpful in making sure everyone was ready in time.

Can’t recommend 5 Diamond Salon enough! They were the first salon I contacted and I knew right away I’d use them. What really sold me was that they offered me 2 trials, to make sure I knew what I wanted. This caused me a lot less stress for my day because my stylist immediately remembered what we were doing. I felt the prices were super fair also! All of my bridesmaids and the moms also felt very well taken care of! Thank you all!!

I absolutely loved working with 5 Diamond salon, they were very professional and really helped my wedding morning run smoothly. 5 Diamond salon was so easy to work with, flexible and my bridesmaids and I loved how everyone’s hair and makeup turned out!

Samantha was great! Super easy going and nice to work with!

5 Diamond salon did amazing job for my wedding on October 1st!!! Nicole and Jaci were wonderful and everyone kept complementing the hair and makeup that they did! I felt like a beautiful bride thanks to 5 diamond salon. I would highly recommend them and there salon is also amazing I go every 8 weeks and I can’t imagine going anywhere else! Samantha and her team are fantastic and I am so thankful for all their help!!

I cannot recommend enough 5 Diamond Salon for wedding hair and makeup services. Samantha and Courtney were super professional, responsive, and timely. They did a fantastic job on hair and makeup services for 2 mothers, 8 bridesmaids, and myself. I appreciated that they were so flexible and accommodating with coming onsite to my wedding venue for the services. I have recommended them to a 2023 bride who will be using them for her upcoming wedding, and will continue to recommend them to future brides in the area! Thank you again 5 Diamond team :)

5 Diamond Salon was fantastic on our wedding day! The MUA (Makayla) and hairstylist (Nicole) showed up promptly and ready to work, and everyone loved how their hair and makeup came out! They both had a positive and sunny attitude, and I could tell they truly love what they do. The process went so smoothly that we actually had down time between finishing up hair/makeup and final touch ups! The salon owner, Sam, was a bit difficult to get in touch with, as during their busy season, they are not in the salon and are only available via e-mail. This resulted in some miscommunication the month before our wedding, which was a bit stressful. Regardless, I was impressed with their professionalism and would highly recommend them.

I had the best experience with the 5 Diamond Salon staff on my wedding day! Mikayla and Jaci were amazing - they helped us stay on (ahead, actually) of schedule and their calm energy really made the morning extra enjoyable. I had a couple of tweaks I wanted to make to my hair and makeup from my trial and they both made the looks come together better than I had imagined. Can't recommend this team enough!

Sam and the entire team at 5 Diamond Salon were a pleasure to work with leading up to my wedding day and on the day itself! They arrived on time, were professional, kept us on schedule, and everyone loved their hair and makeup! My mom and my MIL were nervous as they hadn't had their makeup done before, but they both looked perfect and loved their looks. Jaci was an absolute pleasure to work with and went above and beyond. She did my hair and makeup for our engagement photos, and did my cut and color before the wedding (which I loved). She then stayed late so we could test out a hair look I had decided I wanted for the wedding, which turned out perfectly and made me so excited for the day. 5 Diamond Salon's prices were some of the most reasonable that I found, and I wholeheartedly recommend them!

I cannot recommend 5 Diamond Salon and Samantha’s team enough. From initially booking, to scheduling our trial, to the day of - they were incredible. Jaci and Shannon were extremely efficient on our wedding day and made everyone feel absolutely beautiful. They arrived right on time and did hair and makeup for 9 people. We all opted for airbrush and everyone looked flawless. I do my own makeup daily, so for my wedding day, I wanted a bit more glam compared to what I normally do. Jaci did exactly that. I felt so beautiful and everyone’s makeup lasted all night. Highly recommend working with them!

Samantha and 5 Diamond are amazing! We had Courtney (make up) and Jaci (hair) for myself and bridal party! They were both able to give everyone what I wanted for the wedding day look! Courtney was great at applying make up and not making it feel like “too much” make up as most of my bridal party never wears makeup! Jaci was amazing at doing everyone’s hair and fixing little tweaks for my bridal party at the final touch ups! I highly suggest Samantha’s 5 Diamond Salon and also Courtney and Jaci!

Wonderful Stylists! My stylists, Makayla & Rachael, did a great job for my wedding day hair and make up! They listened to the changes I wanted to make from my trial and adjusted with ease. They cranked through all of my bridesmaids and everyone was done ahead of schedule! They were happy to hear anyone out on something they didn’t like and adjust to each persons’ taste. The owner was hard to get a hold of for communication. She only replies to emails once a week and will not answer the phone or call you. This resulted in almost a month going by while I awaited confirmation that my date was booked. Luckily everything ended up working out for the big day. Makayla & Rachel really made up for the other vexing moments.

I am so happy I used 5 Diamond Salon for my wedding! Sam and Courtney were simply amazing to work with and beyond talented! I was very impressed with how fast and efficiently they completed all 10 in my bridal party. Each of my girls looked so beyond beautiful! I highly recommend 5 Diamond Salon. The whole process was wonderful and stress free!

If you're looking for talented, friendly, punctual hair and makeup artists, this is your team! There have been several of us who have used them during our weddings and have all been pleased, especially as the bride! Sam is phenomenal at hair and nailed it with my wedding hair style with a hair vine :) Jaci is so nice as well and great with makeup! Couldn't thank them enough for accommodating 11 hair and 9 make up slots! Highly recommend!!

I had a great experience working with Sam at 5 Diamond salon. They showed up on time and did an amazing job with everyone's hair and makeup. They work quickly and are priced very well! Highly recommend!

If you're looking for a Southern NH salon to visit your wedding venue the morning of your wedding, look no further! I had Jaci and Nicole do our hair and makeup and they were both FABULOUS. Nicole was amazing at hair, and braiding, which all my bridesmaids wanted and LOVED! Jaci did most makeup and listened to everyone's preferences and everyone was obsessed with their makeup. The team was so nice to be with all morning, and they were great company the morning of our wedding! I also had 2 trials with them, and they were able to listen to my suggestions and feedback which I greatly appreciated!

The team at 5 Diamond Salon was a pleasure to work with for my wedding. My seven bridesmaids and I all loved our hair and makeup, and it lasted the whole night. Makayla immediately understood the look I was going for at my trial, and she executed it perfectly on the day of. Sam was very easy to communicate with leading up to the wedding day. Beyond being kind and talented, all three artists arrived on time on the big day and kept us ahead of schedule which made the day stress-free.

Samantha's team at 5 Diamond Salon is amazing! Jaci (makeup) & Nicole (hair) were absolutely outstanding at my wedding in Waterville Valley, NH. They came to us for both hair & makeup for 7 women (including me) and were efficient, fun to work with, and so skilled. My bridesmaids & the moms brought in photos of what they wanted for hair and Nicole nailed it – from fishtail braids to updos to twisty half up half downs. Jaci was so masterful and knew exactly how to make us look glamorous and photo-ready without looking overdone. And they both wanted nothing more than for me to be 100% happy with my bridal hair & makeup and let me make little tweaks along the way. I was pretty picky & specific with what I wanted for my textured boho updo, and Nicole worked with me to make it happen. From my trial a few months ago to my wedding day, 5 Diamond Salon was affordable and so easy to work with. They made my wedding day even more beautiful!

I can’t say enough good things about Samantha. She was so easy to work with leading up to my wedding day from scheduling a trial to working on the day of timeline. On the day of she was not only very timely and efficient in getting everyone ready on time but she also really listened to every bridesmaid’s hair requests. Not only did she do all 10 women’s hair, including myself the bride, but also stepped in to do one of their makeup when the makeup artist was running behind schedule, she saved the day! Myself and my bridesmaids all looked and felt beautiful all thanks to Samantha. My hair held up all night long! I highly recommend Samantha and 5 Diamond Salon for all wedding hair needs!

Can't say enough about 5 Diamond Salon! Worked with them for hair and makeup for my wedding and had a great experience. From the beginning of planning, Sam was very quick to respond to my emails. Having a large bridal party, Sam kept everything organized by providing a detailed schedule of each bridesmaid and the service she was getting. On the day of, Makayla and Courtney were both amazing to work with. Both professional, timely, so incredibly talented and fun to work with! Everyone loved how their hair and makeup turned out!!

We had such a great experience working with 5 Diamond Salon for our wedding! Everything from the trial to the day of the ceremony was easy and the stylists were friendly, talented, and really listened to what each girl wanted. We used them for bridal and bridesmaids hair, blowouts, regular and airbrush makeup, and false lashes. I would highly recommend them for your event!

5 Diamond was amazing! My trial went so good and the wedding day was even better. The team was on time and stayed on track with my timeline. They were professional and so fun to work with while getting ready. Everyone’s hair and makeup came out awesome! Our friends getting married in April have already booked them too!

Samantha and her crew were fantastic. My entire bridal party and I truly looked our best on our special day. Samantha and her team are professional, courteous and immensely talented. If you want to look amazing on your day, I highly recommend them.

I was so happy to book with 5 Diamond Salon! They were on time to the on-venue appointment and friendly. The hair and makeup for myself and 5 others was perfect, and was ready in time for the rest of the day's events. They are LGBTQ+ friendly, which I had no doubts about but might help others decide to work with them! I have nothing negative to say at all.

Sam and all of 5 Diamond Salon were absolutely phenomenal. From the punctuality, to the prices, to the actual services, everything was perfect. They were all so friendly and accommodating, willing to change and tweak things if necessary to make everyone feel beautiful. Everyone’s hair and makeup looked absolutely stunning. As the bride, I could not have been happier. My hair was perfection and my makeup looked amazing. I cannot say enough good things!

I used 5 diamond salon for hair for my wedding party - Nicole was amazing! She was early, kept everything moving, and did amazing updos for all the bridesmaids. She traveled to the hotel we were getting ready at as well which made it really easy. Thank you!!!

We hired 5 Diamond Salon for our wedding and I was SO happy we did! I had my trial with Janna who did an AMAZING job, and then the day of the wedding we were lucky to have Sam, Rachael, and Kari. We had 12 people getting beautified and these ladies came right on time, got set up and were super organized and efficient the entire day. We even finished early which I was pleasantly surprised with! Everyone was so pleased with how their hair and makeup came out; these women are so talented, friendly, and professional. Thank you SO MUCH!

My hair and makeup artist, Jaci, saved my wedding day! I got married at the summit of Mount Sunapee in the wind and rain and my hair and makeup held up through it all and looked just as amazing as when it was just applied! Once my hair dried no one could even tell I had been out in the rain, and my makeup never smudged. I got so many compliments from people who couldn’t believe how good it still looked. All of my bridesmaids felt the same way! I was so amazed and relieved when I looked in the mirror after the ceremony and everything still looked so great. My only complaint is that communication was slightly delayed leading up to the day of. I always got a response even if it took a couple days. My trial and day of makeup and hair was amazing and everything was so affordable!

5Diamond Salon is amazing. I am very outdoorsy and wanted a simple, natural makeup look and they nailed it. I was super happy with how me and my bridesmaids looked. They were super flexible with our schedule and headcount, showed up right on time, and finished ahead of schedule. Jaci and Courtney were great and I cant recommend them enough.

Nicole at 5 Diamond Salon did an excellent job on my wedding day! My bridal party, MOB and MOG all have very different hair types and lengths, and Nicole still did an awesome job on every one and stayed on schedule. Everyone was free to pick their own style and Nicole did a great job replicating the photos she was shown. She was a pleasure to work with and we all were laughing the entire time! As the bride, I decided on a very different look than what we went with for my trial. My hair couldn’t have come out better on my special day. She’s very responsive as well which I really appreciated as I wanted to make sure changing my mind on the look wouldn’t be a surprise to her. She even went out and bought a special comb to help make my hair look exactly how I wanted it. I highly recommend her and would use her again in a heartbeat!

I am so grateful to Sam and Jaci from 5 Diamond Salon for the phenomenal work with hair and makeup that they did at our wedding this summer! I felt like a model all day and my bridal party looked incredible. They were professional, timely, and incredibly talented. Cannot recommend them enough. Thank you 5 Diamond!

I was so so so happy with my hair and make-up! I hardly ever wear make-up and Makayla worked with me to find a natural and beautiful look. She did the hair for all the bridesmaids and everyone was very happy with their different and beautiful hairstyles. My hair and make-up lasted the whole night with lots of dancing in August heat. I did the make-up trial even though I was skeptical and it was definitely worth it! It was a good opportunity to try new things and I loved how Makayla incorporated the changes I wanted into the wedding day style. Would 100% recommend 5 Diamond Salon- everyone looked amazing!!!

Look no further than Samantha and her team for your wedding! Her team (Courtney and Makayla) made myself and my bridal party look so beautiful for my wedding. Everyone was so happy with how they looked, and we got so many compliments! Makayla and Courtney made quick work of all of us and were so ahead of schedule! They even stuck around an extra 45 minutes to make sure I put my flower comb in my hair properly. I really appreciated their commitment.
