TESTIMONIALS

"Sam Burns is not only one of the finest hair designers in the world, but he is a teacher of hair stylists, making him the best of the best."

"I think the industry understands the reality of outsourcing education to a beautiful mind, Sam Burns is one of the most motivating artists to listen to. Whether he is doing hands on whether he is giving you just business tips or changing your dialogue, he's a must see and a must have and someone you should travel with everyday in your car!"

"I am extremely happy to recommend Sam Burns to any school or salon who wishes to imporve their business. Sam is an accomplished speaker and my employees and students in all schools have responded well to his message and it helped them further their business knowledge and career aspirations."

"Sam is a warm and talented person as well as a speaker. Take the risk to offer something different. That is Sam Burns."

"Given the recent tragedy in Orlando, we could not have been more lucky to have Sam in our school on that Monday and Tuesday. Sam did an incredible job talking to the Future Professionals about the events that took place in Orlando. I know there is no way I could have done any better than what he did."

"This is the second time we have had Sam visit Lexington and once again he did not disappoint. We pay very close attention to who connects with our Future Professionals and we are constantly surveying them to see which guest speakers mean the most to them. Three years ago Sam was top two for the year and for 2016 he is number one. That is amazing in and of itself, but considering we have had Cedric King, Kathy Buckley and Vivienne Mackinder this year, that tells me that Sam is the type of artist/speaker we need to have in more often."

"I know you both deal with so much on a daily basis and often times the negativity can be draining, so I thought I would shed a little positive light on your day. Sam was an inspiration in Lexington and the Future Professionals are buzzing with motivation right now."

"If there is one word to describe Sam, that would be 'WOW'. Sam's ability to deliver a meaningful and one-of-a-kind seminar is outstanding. I brought Sam on for several events and every time he was present, the audience could not get enough. His creativity, energy, and ability to relate to his audience is what makes him one of the best!"

"Sam Burns is an articulate, personable, fun, knowledgeable coach and knows how to educate and please the crowd beyond expectation. Sam has a superior talent and it shows."

"Sam is one of those rare individuals who truly inspires everyone around him. His passion for helping people be the best they can be drives Sam to be a living example of what's possible when you have a dream and create discipline for meeting goals. Sam's sense of humor and perspective as a hairdresser, business owner and educator are just two examples of why he has earned such a loyal following over the years. Any opportunity to work with Sam is a golden one."

"I received a gift! It was an AWESOME message from @samburnsbiz 
He delivered an excellent message to us at @pmtscharlotte #pmtscharlotte yesterday reminding us that we as hairstylists are some of the best and most talented free individuals on the planet! We get to have fun while we craft!

The entire lecture stood out to me but to say the least I took from it that it's excellent and very neccesary to go the extra mile in order to succeed in this business and that those extra moments that you take to put in work count down to the seconds! That makes me feel great inside! He delivered a heart felt story and it absolutely touched my soul and I will indeed take these kind words with me throughout my journey. He is a prime example that you can do whatever you put your heart and mind to and that the life you desire is indeed within reach. Hard work and perseverance will get you through! I am inspired and recharged through his message and I am confident that I am on the correct path. I too want to explore almost any and every aspect of my beauty career and am certain that I can. 
It was a joy to be in his presence yesterday and to hear such significant words. He shared realistic ways to attain success and reminded me to enjoy life. He is indeed comical as well as sharp and I am grateful to have met this guy. Thanks so much Sam Burns! 
The green balloon on the floor is pretty big and contains my fears and they are gone from me now thanks to Sam! I loved the exercise! Two words. #keep #going Beautiful soul! #pmtslife #beauty #cosmetology #cosmos"

"Sam is without any doubt one of the best speakers on motivation, style adjusting, and hair technicians in the hair industry. If you don't request Sam, I assume you are satisfied with average!"

"I recently had the pleasure of having Sam give an educational class for the Mitch line of products by Paul Mitchell in our salon. He not only was knowledgable,and informative in his delivery of the information. But he was entertaining as well as motivating. He left the hairstylists inspired, interested and wanting more of his quick wit and expertise. Any hairstylist would be lucky to have him visit thier salon."

"Sam added so much value to our school. Our culture is better then ever. He continues to bring a powerful message that uplifts, inspires and helps our future professionals and learning leaders to dream bigger. He is absolutely one of our most requested and highly reviewed speakers."

"Sam! After you visited PMTS Houston, I've been seriously reinspired by you. I am pretty sure that isn't a word, but it's totally necessary to make up words to express my feelings and gratitude towards you!

"It was such a blessing to have you come to the school. I am a core student (the redhead that sat front and center in the front of the core classroom) and am now going to Protege tomorrow! Core was such a brain busting 6 weeks that I thought I'd never get through! But, I did. You are truly the epitome of the kind of stylist I want to be. I appreciate your personality, humor, realness, honesty and especially your heart. So, I have chosen to pick you as the mentor I follow in my program. You make hair styling fun and you helped reassure the doubts I had in myself (being in core seems like you'll never get it right!)"

"I really hope this email doesn't go to spam because I really want you to know how much you inspire me. I want to somehow stay in contact with you (amongst your super busy schedule) because I admire your knowledge in the industry. I have like a gajillion questions all the time and don't worry, won't email you to ask how to bake a cake. However, I aspire to do many of the things you have and simply don't want to be a stranger when/should I have some questions specifically for you!"

"Thanks so much for all that you are!"

"Sam Burns is an inspiration and the best business coach to all salon owners and stylists no matter what your business model looks like!"

"We recently had the pleasure of having Sam Burns join us for our first ever company-wide day of education. From the minute he hit the stage up until the conclusion of his presentation, Sam's level of energy and enthusiasm, rivaled any educator I have ever seen. I am also absolutely certain he left our entire team inspired, motivated, and with some practical tools they could implement in their salons to grow our business! We look forward to working with him again in the future!"

"Hello Sam, I'm Alicia Cerda, a PM future pro from Fresno. Last night you came and spoke at our school and I just wanted to tell you how inspiring and motivating your testimony was. I have never been so intrigued by a guest speaker before. You were so lively and animated; I loved your energy and that is something rare. I now aspire to have that same energy and hopefully some day I can inspire people the way you do!"

"Hello, Sam! You spoke at my daughter's school a couple of weeks ago (Tampa). She was so moved and inspired by your life story. She shared it with myself and her dad. From your awesome marketing ideas, to the story of your niece and the balloon. As a mom I would just like to say I'm so glad that on that Tuesday afternoon God was there. Blessings on your future and the lives that you touch."

"Sam took me from a small town dreamer in Illinois and gave me new hope in Pennsylvania...he changed my life...Thanks Sam!"

"I went from an AT&T Accountant in Pittsburgh to a stylist and PM Educator at one of the top salons in the world! Thank you Sam Burns."

"Sam, thank you for being a mentor in so many ways. I am inspired to dive."

"Hi Sam, I had the pleasure of listening you speak today at Paul Mitchell the School Fresno. You visited last year and I missed school that day because my son was sick. I had the opportunity to attend Caper'14 and missed your presentation, I walked into the ballroom as you were wrapping up your presentation. You can just imagine how excited I was when I found out you were our guest artist this morning! What an amazing graduation gift being that I clock out on Saturday!! I am very passionate about JPMS & hearing you speak today boosted my confidence & I will continue to dream big. My dream is to own a school one day. I would love to visit your school soon, I can just imagine the energy."

"Thank you for all you do! You're a an amazing individual."

"Sam is one of the best motivational speakers I have ever heard. I am not a hair dresser, but even I was very inspired by him."

"His enthusiasm is contagious, and when its matched with great information that can change your teams results, you know Sam is your man!"

"Dear Mr.Burns, My name is Mahogany Kennibrew I attended your class you had today. It was really awesome! But at the end you had me almost crying when u began to tell your story. I'm so sorry you went through that! I can relate to some of it. In 2013 back when I lived in Ohio I went into this really deep depression. I felt like a failure I could never complete anything I couldn't keep a job and I had two children. Later in the year I became homeless and I just lost it. I tried to commit suicide in November of that year. I was in the hospital for about a week. So to sum the story up God pushed me to follow my dreams and I moved out here on faith. One of my callings in life is to be a motivational speaker and you are the first person I shared some of my story with. I have always let fear control me and keep me in depression but when I meet you and heard your story it made me hold my head a little higher push a little further and believe that my life wasn't just meant to feel pain. Thank you so much, I mean that thank you from the bottom of my heart."

"The first time I saw Sam was in Orlando, Florida. He told us that everyone comes to get their hair done when they have an important event to go, to think about that what you do to their hair will forever be in pictures. He paused and said, now really think about that. That's when I knew what I did was really important. The second time he was going to be in Grand Rapids, Michigan, I told my manager we have to go. He talks about valuing yourself and gave us a formula to make six figures. His sense of humor, his true desire to help us grow makes you wish he would never stop talking. I look forward to seeing Sam again, hopefully really soon."

"Hi Sam, after yesterdays motivational speech, one of our schools Future Professional decided to come to school early and put post-it notes on each station and in classrooms with a motivational saying, so each student can have a great day. You inspired them. I need to thank you. Each student today is having a Great Day because of the post-it note. They smile, help each other without being asked. Another F.P. decided to bring in food to share with whoever wants it. Thank you for bringing out the best in our students."

"I would like to encourage you dramatically to get Sam Burns into your salon and into your company, to deliver the most amazing education I have ever had. He is a true inspiration and an absolute leader in the industry."

"Anyone who has not heard of sam burns, needs to find out who he is, bring him into your business and the results will blossom."
