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.

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!
