Alyssa has given me the best haircuts I’ve had. She takes her time, checks her work, and asks you what you want. She’s down to earth and easy to talk to. I’ll follow her to any salon. I’d give 6 stars if I could.

Great precision highlights and kept my hair as natural as I want. I’ve never seen a stylist listen as much as her! Also, it’s a fun environment.

Incredible! Taylor did such an amazing job with my hair cut and style today and I am so so happy. Taylor listened to everything that I wanted by giving me a shorter fun cut yet still maintaining original colours. I feel Taylor took it above and beyond regular service when she talked to me through the appointment so that I knew exactly what was happening and everything was wonderful. Im so happy with my new cut, as well as thinning my thicker hair - my hair is a beast to work with, so any time spent on it is more than appreciated! I’m looking forward to seeing her again soon!

Alyssa was kind, patient and gentle, and very attentive to my wants/needs with my hair. I hadn't had my hair cut in over 6 months and left genuinely thrilled, which almost never happens for me! Alyssa crafted the perfect style for me and gave me some great tips for styling and maintenance. I couldn't recommend her enough!

I had a lovely visit to Strands salon today. Tammy, the owner and hairstylist, is so genuine, warm, friendly and welcoming. After looking at my hair, she knew the cut that would suit me perfectly. She did a great job in a wonderful cozy salon. Thank you Tammy.

Great experience. Booked easily online with Fresha and am pleased with the haircut. Thanks Kay!

Tammy is delightful and does a fabulous job with curly hair and helping add a new spark to my hair style. It’s always a relaxing and fun experience at Strands.

We enjoy going to Kate. Very accommodating as he is in a wheelchair and doesn't transfer well. Kate goes the extra mile and trims his eyebrows and mustache. I highly recommend her smiling face and great service. She really cares

Such a wonderful visit with a wonderful person! Tammy is professional and kind and loves to laugh. Thank you for the beautiful highlights and for taking the time to style my hair..something I never find time to do!

Tammy! Hair looks fabulous! TY DKS

Tammy is the sweetest and definitely got me to branch out and try something different and I love my new hair!

Tammy was so lovely and really listened to what I was looking to achieve with my hair and executed on the vision wonderfully !

Tammy is a hair genius!
