Elegance Squared Hair Salon

Elegance Squared Hair Salon operates out of a small commercial plaza on W Sample Road, just east of where Hair On Fire and a handful of other independent beauty businesses cluster along the same stretch. It is a small operation by design, the kind of salon where the person who answers the phone is usually also the one holding the scissors, which tends to produce a more personal experience than a large chain location can offer.

Services cover the standard salon menu: haircuts, color, highlights and balayage, blowouts, and special-occasion styling. Because the shop is independently owned, pricing and scheduling decisions are made locally rather than dictated by a corporate office, and stylists have flexibility to spend extra time on a difficult color correction or a stubborn cowlick without worrying about hitting a per-client time quota set somewhere else.

The Sample Road location puts the salon within easy reach of the residential neighborhoods on Margate’s western side, an area that is mostly single-family homes and low-rise condos rather than dense apartment complexes. For residents who would otherwise drive into Coral Springs or Coconut Creek for a salon appointment, having an option that stays within Margate city limits saves a trip and keeps the spending local.

Small, name-recognizable salons like Elegance Squared are common along this part of Sample Road, which functions as a secondary commercial corridor to the busier State Road 7 further east. The plazas here are lower-key, with surface parking directly in front of each storefront, so there is no structured garage or long walk from the car, which matters on a hot Florida afternoon.

What tends to keep a salon like this in business for years in a competitive market is repeat clientele built on consistency: the same stylist cutting the same client’s hair appointment after appointment, building up enough familiarity that conversations about hair goals do not have to start from scratch every visit. That kind of continuity is harder to find at high-turnover chain salons where stylist assignments change often.

Anyone comparing Margate hair salons for a first appointment should expect a straightforward, no-frills shop rather than a resort-style spa experience, which is typical for salons in this price range along Sample Road. Appointments are the more reliable way to be seen, particularly for color work, though the shop has historically been able to fit in simpler services on shorter notice. As with most independent salons in this part of Broward County, calling ahead to confirm current hours before a visit is a reasonable precaution since small shops sometimes adjust their schedule seasonally.
