Uberstylist Urs Eichenberger is the owner/manager of Strands and the pivotal person around whom the Strands philosophy evolved.
Urs began his career in Europe where he first learned all about colour by working for two major, international color manufacturers (we don't want to name names). And to this day young stylists or students who work at Strands are awed at his intuitive and comprehensive grasp of hair color.
Urs regularly attends international hair shows all over the world to keep up with new techniques and products (like his funny diagonal scissors). He was twice nominated Canadian Hairdresser of the Year.
Some eight years ago, long before aromatherapy became a household name, Urs attended an intensive seminar on essential oils and their use as therapeutic agents in everything from massage oils to shampoos. Over the last years he’s mixed up dozens of products that will soon be available, through this web site, to clients around the world.
Urs’s knowledge of hair is of a depth and breadth that French scientists in Toulouse (where he was attending a workshop at a French cosmetics and pharmaceutical firm) were completely amazed: Urs was able to read scientific material on hair and skin with a level of comprehension that most dermatologists don’t have.
Born in Switzerland, Urs moved to Canada around 20 years ago. He began Strands in 1984 and has consistently kept the salon at the forefront of hair and skin news.
