We are excited to announce that we will be moving to our new downtown location on March 23, 2023. We will continue to offer full salon services during this transition.

New Location:  736 Granville Street (The Vancouver Block), 8th Floor, Suite #818, Vancouver, BC.  As part of our improved safety plan,  you will need to buzz 0818 or phone/text 604.681.3341 to gain access to the building.

Please pardon the clutter as we move and settle into our new home on the 8th floor of this spectacular heritage building. We’re working hard to bring you a superior salon experience!

The Vancouver Block heritage building, topped with a large clock tower, has been a landmark near the intersection of Granville and Georgia streets since 1912. Boasting an Instagram worthy Edwardian style lobby, improved security, and a gorgeous view of downtown we just know you will love it as much as we do!

Sincerely,

Urs & Erika

1) The Experience! Our team of highly skilled, professional, humorous and sometimes sarcastic staff members make all the difference. Not only do we have the skills to bring your look to the next level, we bring the salon experience to the next level as well. Our services include a generous amount of time for consultation and our friendly staff are always happy to chit chat.

2) Honest Gender Neutral Pricing for all Services – No gimmicks, surprises or hidden costs. We take the time to provide a full consultation, so you know exactly what to expect.

3) Innovative Services – At Strands, we keep up with the current trends, innovations and highly technical services. Ask us about our:

◊ Wellness Cut – A haircut using heated scissor blades & a candle to reduce split ends – especially great for long hair
◊ Amino Acid & Keratin Treatments
◊ Ammonia Free Colours – Permanent, semi or demi in all the colors of the rainbow.
◊ Velaterapia Split End Treatment– Also known as a Candle Flame Cut, this treatment eliminates split ends using a small flame to cauterize unruly fly-aways. Suitable for all hair types.

4) Scalp & Hair Health Solutions– Professional consultations and solutions provided by an experienced technician with a scope

5) Personalized looks that work for your hair type – We like personalized, natural looks that work with your hair’s natural texture. We love curly or straight hair and everything in between!

6) Natural, Vegan, Environmentally Conscious and Cruelty Free Products! We have a large selection of salon tested and approved retail products that have never been tested on animals (just friends and clients), some natural, some vegan and some are a combination of all three. The criteria is that they have to work for you. We are constantly reviewing and adapting to make sure we have the best products that actually work.

7) Ammonia & Nano Silver FREE – You will always find Strands to be a pleasant smelling environment. We have been ammonia and nano-silver free since the 90’s

8) You Always Speak to a Live Person – Your calls to the salon to ask a question of book an appointment are always answered by a live person. The only exceptions are if we are spending quality time with a client or are not in the salon. We will get back to you as soon as we can if you leave us a message.

We would love to meet you soon – as we said, we love company!
